Overview

Mr. Samodurov is sure that in modern times the accent of the audience’s attention has shifted greatly: people come to ballet performances not to observe its aesthetic qualities, but for the energy boost. This is what he is giving them in his new opus, having infected the auditorium, as well as the artists involved in this ballet, with “dance mania”. Thanks to this production, the music by the wonderful St Petersburg composer, Yuri Krasavin, who was commissioned to write it by the Bolshoi, will be heard here once again (Vyacheslav Samodurov characterizes this music as 'high-voltage' and with a great sense of humour). It is a curious coincidence (if only it is not that very “special case of regularity”): just over twenty years ago at the Bolshoi, a ballet based on the canvases by the famous surrealist Rene Magritte was staged to the music of Krasavin, which was quite energetically charged and also with a sense of humour, and the ballet was called Magrittomania!

Venue Info

Bolshoi Theatre - Moscow
Teatralnaya Square 1

The Bolshoi Theatre is one of the world’s most iconic cultural landmarks, renowned for its grandeur, history, and artistic excellence. Located in the heart of Moscow, this legendary theatre has been home to unforgettable performances of opera and ballet for over two centuries. Its majestic architecture, world-class acoustics, and rich tradition make every event at the Bolshoi a truly unforgettable experience.

On 28 March (17 according to the old style) 1776, Catherine II granted the prosecutor, Prince Pyotr Urusov, the "privilege" of "maintaining" theatre performances of all kinds, including masquerades, balls and other forms of entertainment, for a period of ten years. And it is from this date that Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre traces its history.

The Bolshoi building, which for many years now has been regarded as one of Moscow’s main sights, was opened on 20 October 1856, on Tsar Alexander II’s coronation day.

On 29 October 2002 the Bolshoi was given a New Stage and it was here it presented its performances during the years the Main Stage was undergoing massive reconstruction and refurbishment.

The reconstruction project lasted from l July 2005 to 28 October 2011. As a result of this reconstruction, many lost features of the historic building were reinstated and, at the same time, it has joined the ranks of most technically equipped theatre buildings in the world.

The Bolshoi Theatre is a symbol of Russia for all time. It was awarded this honor due to the major contribution it made to the history of the Russian performing arts. This history is on-going and today Bolshoi Theatre artists continue to contribute to it many bright pages.

The Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera are among the oldest and best known ballet and opera companies in the world. It is by far the world's biggest ballet company, with more than 200 dancers.
