The ballet season will be opened on July 20 and 21 with the ongoing premiere shows of the ballet Anyuta. It’s the famous production of the legendary master, People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Vasiliev to the music of Valery Gavrilin. The author of the performance managed to preserve the special intonation of the Chekhov's story Anna on the Neck, which served as the basis of the libretto, and to put the characters in the picturesque atmosphere of an old provincial town, which comes to life on stage thanks to expressive scenery. The ballet conquers the hearts of the audience with exciting music, elegant choreography, genuine drama and sincere emotions.
