The Russian State Ballet of Siberia returns in 2017 for a 17 venue schedule (3 January – 25 February) including dates in Manchester, Blackpool and Liverpool.
It will be the Company’s 15th UK tour and will feature exquisite performances of five of world’s most popular ballets: La Fille mal gardée; Coppélia; Swan Lake; The Nutcracker; Giselle.
Formed in 1981, The Russian State Ballet of Siberia has become established as one of Russia’s leading ballet companies. Under the artistic directorship of Sergei Bobrov, dancers from across Russia have forged their skills and artistry performing an expanding repertoire of new works and exceptional productions of timeless classics. The soloists and corps de ballet are outstanding, delighting audiences with their breath-taking physical ability and beautiful costumes as each storyline unfolds to the live accompaniment of the Russian State Ballet Orchestra of Siberia. The company comprises over 40 dancers and 30 musicians.
Commenting on the tour, Sergei Bobrov said ‘It is always a pleasure to bring the unique traditions of Russian Ballet to British audiences. Touring with a full company of dancers as well as highly skilled musicians is always exciting; for me, it is very special to have the power of a symphony orchestra bringing the choreography to life on stage.’
