The Kirov Ballet – GALA PROGRAMME

Victor Hochhauser presents

THE KIROV BALLET

Orchestra of the Kirov Ballet

The Kirov Ballet from the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg makes its debut at Birmingham Hippodrome in 2008. The UK tour is only visiting Birmingham and Salford – this really is a rare opportunity.The 200-year-old Russian company, under the Artistic Direction of Valery Gergiev and Ballet Director Makhar Vaziev, will perform two full-length ballets as well as a Gala Evening of balletic fireworks.

The Gala Programme, a box of delights, includes Fokine’s romantic one-act ballet Chopiniana (or Les Sylphides) and the sublime Kingdom of the Shades from La Bayadère. A dazzling sequence of balletic set pieces from Fokine’s dreamy Le Spectre de la Rose completes this splendid feast.
