Stanislavsky Theatre
Premiere of this production: 04 May 2024 The performance has 2 intermissions Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes The Stanislavsky Theatre, located in XIX century historical building just 750 metres (9-minute walk) from the Bolshoi, offers a rare opportunity to enjoy ballet of the highest artistic quality. The Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre presents an extraordinary evening of contemporary one-act ballets, uniting three masterpieces that reveal the boundless possibilities of dance. On stage you will see brilliant dancers who have performed at the Bolshoi Theatre and trained in the same world-renowned academies as Bolshoi artists, bringing their artistry and energy into these unique productions. Ballet at the Stanislavsky Theatre is the great and affordable alternative to the Bolshoi. In Dark Images by Maxim Sevagin (to the music of Antonio Vivaldi) first premiered at the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre in 2022 and was later brought to Moscow in 2024. This work is the choreographer’s ode to ballet itself — a poetic exploration of timeless images and symbols emerging from the vast universe of movement. With just nine performers, the ballet transforms Vivaldi’s baroque brilliance into a living dialogue of ensembles, duets, quartets, and trios. Petite Mort by Jiří Kylián, created for the Salzburg Festival in 1991, is set to the slow movements of Mozart’s piano concertos. This ballet for six men, six women, and six rapiers has become a legendary example of the perfect union between music and choreography — lyrical, sharp, and breathtakingly beautiful. Minus 16 by Ohad Naharin, the celebrated Israeli choreographer and creator of the Gaga movement language, breaks the barrier between stage and audience. It transforms spectators into participants, making every performance an unrepeatable, vibrant encounter with dance. An unforgettable night of contemporary ballet in Moscow — three works, three worlds, one stage. | ||||||||||
