This international event, celebrating the late Ekaterina Maximova, will feature three of our ballets. This will be our first-ever tour to the largest city in the Southern Urals.
On 17 and 18 June, the public will enjoy Brilliant Divertissement, Cheeky Chastushki, and 598 Beats. The latter of these three ballets is this year’s Golden Mask Award nominee. Meanwhile, Brilliant Divertissement was personally created by our Theatre’s founder, Leonid Yacobson.

Today, we cast aside the fear of sounding too cheesy or high-strung, and sincerely confess our love for the stunning city we call our home. There is so much to adore about St. Petersburg: its austere beauty, its strong personality, and the inspiration it bestows upon its most creative residents. And it also bears remembering that St. Petersburg is the ballet capital of the world!

On 20 and 21 May, Leonid Yacobson Ballet Theatre went on tour to Armenia. The Alexander Spendiaryan National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre in Yerevan hosted two showings of our Don Quixote ballet. This life-affirming dance extravaganza, drenched in the Spanish sun, has always remained a must-see for a variety of audiences.

The inimitable Alla Osipenko was an undeniably unique figure in Russian ballet history. While her mastery of classical ballet was truly impeccable, she also had a remarkable inclination towards interpreting her characters in never-before-seen ways, working side by side with her renowned choreographer contemporaries.
