Pull out your best tutu, you know the pretty little white number with the Parisienne skirt, and lace up your ballet shoes because it’s time for a trip to the ballet. The Bolshoi ballet company is back for their London tour and Dancewear Central have got tickets for you to see Swan Lake.
This summer the Bolshoi Ballet will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary Season with an exquisite programme of traditional ballets. From Sleeping Beauty to The Flames of Paris throughout July and August the Royal Opera House will be hosting ‘the most prestigious of the Moscow company’s global outings’. To honour their first visit to the iconic Covent Garden theatre under the banner of Victor and Lillian Hochhauser in 1963, however, the Bolshoi Ballet will be performing Yuri Grigorovich’s production of the classic Swan Lake. The show runs from July 29th to August 19th, and on Saturday 10th August you could be sitting in those plump theatre seats, champagne in hand, watching Kristina Kretova and Dmitri Gudanov as Odette and Prince Siegfried.
After the recent scandal around the acid attack on director Sergei Filin, and Nikolai Tsiskaridze’s expulsion from the company, the Bolshoi are determined to show that they will keep on dancing no matter what. The London tour therefore, promises to be something extraordinary and the audience will have the opportunity to see rising stars such as Olga Smirnova as well as celebrated ballerinas from Svetlana Zakharova and Maria Aleksandrova. If this wealth of ballet just isn’t enough though, the winners will be treated to champagne at the theatre and an overnight stay at a four star hotel in the heart of London’s West End. Oh how we spoil you!
