Russian State Ballet of Siberia
One of the world’s leading ballet companies will grace the Fairfield Halls next spring.
The Russian State Ballet of Siberia return to the UK bringing to life some of the world’s most beautiful and popular ballets.
Croydon ballet aficionados can experience a choice between La Fille Mal Gardee, one of the oldest arrangements still commonly performed, or the ever popular Nutcracker.
La Fille Mal Gardee, a comic play recreated at the turn of last century by Alexander Gorsky, is a tale of love romance and rivalry.
Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, is possibly the world’s most famous ballet, creating a fantasy world all within the play room one Christmas Eve.
Watch as the Mouse King and Nutcracker Prince do battle and travel to the Land of Snow.
Based in Krasnoyarsk, The Russian State Ballet of Siberia has become established as one of Russia’s leading ballet companies.
Since 2002, Sergei Bobrov has been Artistic Director and leading dancers from across Russia have forged their skills and artistry under his direction in new productions of timeless classics.
