For more than two centuries, the Bolshoi Ballet Company has become an iconic name not only for lovers of this wonderful art. The troupe rarely tours outside Russia, so the best possible way is to enjoy ballet shows in select theaters around the world. For fans of ballet art, the best seats for the grand premieres of the new Bolshoi season are reserved. Spectators will have the unique opportunity to watch all the performances that will be broadcast in the comfortable lounges of the Cine Grand Park Center.

The beginning of the new season will be marked by the premiere of “Raymonda”, a classic ballet by Alexander Glazunov, rarely performed on world stage due to the extremely high requirements for the technique of the dancers. Traditionally, the seven premieres will feature popular classical ballets from the 19th century, beloved by all fans of this art. These include “Swan Lake” with a brand new cast and soloists, as well as the traditional Christmas tale "The Nutcracker". The choreography of both ballets is the work of Yuri Grigorovich, longtime director of Bolshoi.

The beautiful romantic ballet “Giselle” will reappear on screen, but with a whole new choreography by Alexei Ratmansky. His is also the choreography of the oriental masterpiece “Corsaire”, the adventure story of the pirate Conrad and his beloved Medora, abducted in the harem of the Sultan. The Bolshoi ballet dancer Ekaterina Krisanova and Igor Zvirko are in their roles.

The program will also feature ballet masterpieces from the 20th century. By the end of the season, a new version of Romeo and Juliet will be broadcast, specially prepared for Alexey Ratmansky's Bolshoi stage. The latest Gems premiere features George Balanchin's iconic choreography. The glittering performance pays tribute to three styles of dance, matching them with gems: emeralds, rubies and diamonds.
