The Gold Collection festival is drawing to a close. As the finishing touch for the event and the entire season, our troupe will perform the ballet classic, Swan Lake, at the Alexandrinsky Theatre on 13, 14, and 15 August.

We at the Leonid Yacobson State Academic Ballet Theatre would like to sincerely thank the St. Petersburg administration for supporting Andrian Fadeev in this momentous decision. Our art director and manager has been invited by Valery Gergiev to direct the ballet troupe at the Mariinsky Theatre. He will, however, also remain at the helm of the Yacobson Company, a position that he has held since 2011.

Maria Repetieva is getting ready for her début in Swan Lake. Today will be her first time playing Odette and Odile, one of the most complex roles in the classical repertoire.

The third iteration of our annual Gold Collection Festival will be hosted at St. Petersburg’s best historical venues from 2 July to 16 August. The Leonid Yacobson Academic Ballet Theatre will introduce the public to classical ballet masterpieces, one-of-a-kind indie productions, and this season’s choreographic premières.
