The programme of the evenings entitled A Tribute to Fokine will consist of the ballets Polovtsian Dances, Le Spectre de la rose, The Swan and Schéhérazade. The lead roles will be performed by stars of the Mariinsky Ballet Company including Ulyana Lopatkina, Viktoria Tereshkina, Alina Somova, Yekaterina Kondaurova, Yevgeny Ivanchenko, Igor Kolb, Danila Korsuntsev and Vladimir Shklyarov. The performances will feature the Chorus and Symphony Orchestra of the Teatro Regio.
