Celebrated dance company Moscow City Ballet returns to the Opera House in Manchester from January 15 to 17 with Swan Lake.
The ballet is performed in all its original splendour and features some of the world’s finest dancers with Tchaikovsky’s score played live by Moscow City Ballet Orchestra.
Moscow City Ballet’s ‘big story’ ballets combine artistry, technique, narrative and live music and have become one of Russia’s most successful and popular touring ballet companies.
Victor Smirnov-Golovanov said: “In these difficult economic times, I’m amazed by the support and appreciation the UK audience give to Moscow City Ballet. I truly believe that dance is escapism and I’m delighted that people find enjoyment and pleasure in watching our gifted dancers perform our Russian jewels.”
