THE STARS OF THE PERM TCHAIKOVSKY OPERA
AND BALLET THEATRE
April 22 at 8 p.m. & April 23 avril at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
On the program of the 3rd edition of the Stars of the Russian Ballet is Variations on a Rococo Theme, an original one-act ballet by Alexeï Miroshnichenko, as well as a rarely seen trio and duets performed by the principal dancers of the Perm Tchaikovsky Opera and Ballet Theatre. The company is situated at the foot of the Ural Mountains, where both Tchaikovsky and Diaghilev were born. Its repertoire also includes works by Balanchine: in fact, Miroshnichenko’s Variations on a Rococo Theme is a tribute to the great “Mister B”, set to the music of Tchaikovsky.
