Ballet Show "Summer Seasons" by Russian National Ballet Theatre
01 July 2017 - 29 August 2017

SCHEDULE 01 July 2017 - 29 August 2017

Summer Ballet Seasons in Moscow are an integral part of the summertime cultural life that already became a tradition: the Seasons have been an annual fixture of the cultural calendar since 2001. This year, from July 1 to August 29 the best classical ballets will be performed on stage of the Russian Academic Youth Theatre (RAMT) for 12th time.

The SUMMER BALLET SEASONS were founded in 2001 and immediately attracted the attention of audiences. The repertoire of the Seasons consists of classics performed by promising and prominent Russian ballet companies.

More than 300,000 people have visited performances of the Seasons during these years.
In 2001, the project was planned as the means to settle tourist problems - in the period of summer vacations, closed theatres and concert halls, it was impossible to form a worthy cultural program for foreign tourists. Time passed, and today the Seasons have turned into a prominent cultural event in Moscow. The performances of both the ballet companies, participating in Summer Ballet Seasons, are a great rarity in their own country, as they tour abroad most of the year. For example Moscow City Ballet had 15 annual tours and more than 1500 performances just in UK !

The conception of the Summer Ballet Seasons is to cherish the inherited treasures of the Russian national culture.

The performances traditionally take place in the very heart of Moscow in the old Russian National Theatre next to the World Known Bolshoi and opposite the Kremlin and Red Square.

Summer Ballet Seasons in Moscow are an integral part of the summertime cultural life that already became a tradition: the Seasons have been an annual fixture of the cultural calendar since 2001. This year, from June 28 to August 28 the best classical ballets will be performed on stage of the Russian Academic Youth Theatre (RAMT) for 12th time.

The SUMMER BALLET SEASONS were founded in 2001 and immediately attracted the attention of audiences. The repertoire of the Seasons consists of classics performed by promising and prominent Russian ballet companies.

In 2001, the project was planned as the means to settle tourist problems - in the period of summer vacations, closed theatres and concert halls, it was impossible to form a worthy cultural program for foreign tourists. Time passed, and today the Seasons have turned into a prominent cultural event in Moscow. The performances of both the ballet companies, participating in Summer Ballet Seasons, are a great rarity in their own country, as they tour abroad most of the year. For example Moscow City Ballet had 15 annual tours and more than 1500 performances just in UK! 

The conception of the Summer Ballet Seasons is to cherish the inherited treasures of the Russian national culture.

This is the second year the the Summer Ballet Seasons are organized in partnership with state unitary enterprise MosConcert with support from the Department of Culture of the city of Moscow. Participants include the best Moscow troupes: “La Classique” Moscow Ballet run by Elik Melikov and Russian National Ballet Theatre run by Vladimir Moiseev and Evgeny Amosov. For the first time the Seasons open their stage to the Russian Classical Ballet troup headed by Oksana Usacheva.

For several years already the Seasons’ participants include foreign ballet troups that are known both for their artistic interpretations of classical storylines and for their innovative modern production. For example, last year the tour of “Kiev Modern Ballet” theatre headed by the iconic young choreographer Radu Poklitaru enjoyed great success. This year, which marks the Year of Italy in Russia, the Russian and Italian Ministries of Culture are helping to bring to Moscow Balleto di Milano headed by Carlo Pesto. The troupe will perform the director’s version of “Romeo and Juliet” and choreographic production titled “Chanson”.

 

 

The performances of Summer Ballet Seasons traditionally take place in the Russian  Academic Youth Theatre (RAMT) located in the very heart of Moscow — at Teatralnaya Square, next to Bolshoi and Malyi theaters, in the magnificent old mansion — a unique monument of architecture built in the 19th century. This mouse was always known as the center of Moscow’s cultural life. It was frequented by Anna Kern, this is where the Artistic coterie headed by Alexander Ostrovsky gathered for its meetings, this stage witnessed performances by Fedor Shalyapin and Leonid Sobinov and in 1924—1936 it was home to Moscow Art Theatre-II, whose director was Mikhail Chekhov.

Each year the theatre’s lobby hosts exhibitions organized within the framework of the Summer Ballet Seasons. This year we will show mosaic works of art, which are a part of the exhibition dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the great French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Last winter the exhibition was a great success in Paris.

The Summer Ballet Seasons projects seeks to preserve and promote Russia’s cultural heritage and introduces the audiences to the world-famous classical Russian ballet. In the course of 11 years of the Summer Ballet Seasons’ existence the performances were seen by more than 300,000 people. Initially the project was conceived specifically for foreign tourists who were  visiting Moscow after the closing of the theatre season. But residents of the capital showed great interest in the performances and very quickly the Summer Ballet Seasons became summertime Moscow’s business card.
