RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.Australian National Tour September November 2012Beautiful full length performances of two of the most cherished classical ballets of all time.The Russian National Ballet Theatre commences a tour of full-length classical performances of Swan Lakeand Sleeping Beauty in over 25 cities across Australia from September.With more than 50 ballet dancers, the Russian National Ballet Theatre has toured the USA, China, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Guatemala, Poland, South Korea and Japan transforming Russian Ballet. Tchaikovskys instantly recognisable music set against the wonderfully dark story of good against evil; Swan Lake is one of the most famous and loved of all ballets. This production by EvgenyAmosov, Artistic Director of The Russian National Ballet Theatre, is heralded around the world.Swan Lakes glamorous set is evocative of the Russian Imperial world in which the ballet was created, while the haunting moonlit lakeside is perfect for the tragic conflict of the human and spirit worlds and allows the audience to be swept away in the vulnerability of Odette/ Odile.One of the most lavish theatrical events of all time, the original St Petersburgstaging of Sleeping Beauty in 1890 was a spectacular illustration of the Russian Imperial style at its zenith. Today it remains the cornerstone of the Russian National Ballet Theatres repertory. The current staging is also directed byEvgenyAmosovaccompanied by a huge cast in a fairytale setting and glorious Tchaikovsky score. This version has all the elements of an enduring fairy tale: romance, poetry, fate, goodness versus evil, and of course, love!
