The Russia Star Ballet

( 2008-07-01 )

The Russia Star Ballet performed on June 28 and 29 at National Center for the Performing Arts. The group is comprised of members from the two most renowned ballet troupes in Russia—Ballet Group of Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and the Mariinsky Theater. They bring a medley of their best performances
to China, including selections from Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake.

Bolshoi Theater

Founded in 1776 by Prince Peter Urussov and Michael Maddox, the State Academic Bolshoi Theatre of Russia is one of the best musical theatres in the world. It held performances in a private home until 1780, when it acquired the Petrovka Theatre and began producing plays and operas. The Bolshoi has
been associated from its beginnings with ballet. Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake premiered at the theatre on Saturday, March 4, 1877. Other staples of the Bolshoi repertoire include Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, Adam's Giselle, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, and Khachaturian's
Spartacus.

Mariinsky Theater

The Mariinsky Theatre is a historic theatre of opera and ballet in St Petersburg, Russia. The Mariinsky Ballet is an internationally renowned classical ballet company based at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, Russia. Founded in the 19th Century, the Mariinsky Ballet is one of the most
famous ballet companies in history and continues to be one of the world's leading ballet companies to this day. Opened in 1860, it became the preeminent music theatre of late 19th century Russia, where many of the stage masterpieces of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov premiered.
