Rodin: a ballet inspired by Auguste Rodin’s amorous sculptures, also choreographed by Jacobson and performed to music by Claude Debussy, Sergey Prokofiev & Alban Berg. Taking a cue from the legendary sculptor whose works were always infused with movement, Jacobson transforms pieces such as The Kiss and Eternal Spring into active, playful and poignant forms and scenarios.

Tchaikovsky’s Italian Capriccio: a dance interpretation of the composer’s tribute to Rome following a memorable holiday in The Eternal City.  Choreographed by Yuri Petukhov, this lively ballet opens with an introductory bugle call (initially heard from the composer’s hotel) before transporting the audience to a city brimming with Italian folk melodies and urban fanfare.

Boléro − widely considered Maurice Ravel’s best-known work − recalls the artist’s industrial Basque heritage on the French-Spanish border.  Originally conceived as a ballet in 1928, Bolero has since become a well-known orchestral work.  Now, more than 80 years later, the St. Petersburg State Ballet Theatre has reprised this innovative masterpiece, offering audiences the rare opportunity to see it expressed in the genre Ravel so greatly admired. 

Don’t miss the chance to experience this extraordinary dance troupe outside of St. Petersburg!
