Swan Lake will, as per tradition, be the centrepiece of
the repertoire in June and July. Seen all over the
world as the embodiment of Russian ballet, Swan
Lake will be performed almost every week, finally closing the season on 29
July. Theatregoers may see Irina Perren or Ekaterina Borchenko in the role of
Odette/Odile, while the part of Siegfried will on several occasions be played
by Leonid Sarafanov. Viewers always fall in love with Sleeping Beauty, an enchanting spectacle created by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa. This great three-act production is often called an ‘encyclopaedia of ballet’: there is no other work in the repertoire that so fully employs all the potential of classical dance. The summer programme also features the romantic ballet Giselle, ou Les Wilis, the bright Oriental flair of Le Corsaire; and The Nutcracker, full of poetry and elements of the grotesque. Another ballet that never fails to charm the audience is La Bayadère, a blend of the exoticism of the East and the classical perfection of the renowned scene The Kingdom of the Shades — a contrast that creates emotional tension and aesthetic harmony.
