Grand Prix

 
2010

The second annual competition of students of the major Russian ballet schools — Grand prix of the Mikhailovsky Theatre — is to take place on 19-21 November 2010.

The charity project first took place in 2009 and its main feature was the fact that money prizes were given not only to the winners but also to the schools that raised them: the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet, the Moscow Ballet Academy, and the Novosibirsk Ballet School.

In autumn 2010 the young students of the greatest ballet schools of Russia will appear on the Mikhailovsky stage to show the results of hard toil — both theirs and their teachers’.The  Artistic  Council of  the  contest  will be led by the ballet master of the Mikhailovsky Theatre, professor  Nikita Dolgushin.

The Mikhailovsky Theatre expresses its gratitude to The Grand Hotel Europe,the General Partner of the Grand Prix, DLA Piper, the Official Partner and personally Ms Olga Litvinova, the managing partner of the company, Mr Toshihiko Takahashi for his constant support of the projects of the theatre and his contribution to the prize fund of the Mikhailovsky Grand Prix, Mr David Panikashvili for his contribution to the prize fund, and the Imperial Mikhailovsky Theatre Foundation.
