GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. - The Russian National Ballet will perform Swan Lake at the Mahaiwe Theater at 8 pm on Friday, April 10. Comprised of over 40 dancers, this company is the largest to grace a stage in Berkshire County in recent history. Tickets may be purchased through the Mahaiwe Box Office at 4136-528-0100 or online at www.mahaiwe.org and are $47/$42 Mahaiwe Members and $20 for Students with a Valid ID.
“We’re thrilled to be presenting such a renowned and full scale international ballet company on the Mahaiwe stage. Swan Lake is going to be a very special performance for all who enjoy beautiful costumes, dramatic choreography and classic fairy tales,” said Beryl Jolly, executive director of the Mahaiwe. With music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and original choreography by noted 19th-century ballet master and choreographer Marius Petipa, this fully staged production tells a timeless story of love and betrayal through masterfully artistic performances by some of the finest dancers in Russia.
The company was founded in Moscow in the late 1980’s by Elena Radchenko, who had previously been a principal dancer at the Bolshoi Ballet. Since its founding, the company has upheld the principles of great Russian ballet and maintained a repertoire of most of the full-length works of Petipa. Ms. Radchenko’s adherence to old disciplines and traditions is visible in the technically sharp yet elegant movements of the dancers of the Russian National Ballet.
For more information or to purchase tickets please phone the Mahaiwe Box Office at 413-528-0100 or visit us during Box Office Hours Wednesday – Saturday: 12noon – 6pm and online at www.mahaiwe.org.
