Three ballet premieres in the Volga theaters (reviews of performances)

Three ballet premieres in theaters on the banks of the Volga are different in genre, but each is interesting in its own way. Sleeping Beauty in Astrakhan is unexpected with additions to the choreography and plot made by the theater’s chief choreographer Yuri Klevtsov. The Queen of Spades in Cheboksary, staged by the chief choreographer of the opera and ballet theater Danil Salimbaev to the music of Tchaikovsky’s symphonic works, is an unprecedentedly original interpretation of Pushkin’s story. The mystical ballet-epic Ilya Muromets and the Firebird’s Feather in the Tsaritsyn Opera in Volgograd is a rare appeal to the Russian epic with a patriotic sound. This is the first ballet score by the young composer Evgeny Prituzhalov and the first production by the theater’s new chief choreographer Artem Panichkin (with the participation of Sofia Raevskaya).
