From 20 to 24 March the tour, organised by the ROSCONCERT Federal State Budgetary Institution according to the All-Russian touring and concert plan of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, commemorates the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Economic Cooperation Agreement between Russia and the DPRK. The performances will be held at the Mansudae Art Theatre and will include Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty and Stravinsky’s The Firebird, as well as the concert programme Evening of Antique and Modern Choreography. This marks the first time the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre will perform in the DPRK, contributing significantly to strengthening the friendship between the two nations and expanding bilateral cultural cooperation.
On 20 and 21 March the series will begin with Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty, showcasing the fairy-tale ballet in the classic choreography of Marius Petipa, revised by Konstantin Sergeyev and Eldar Aliev, with a visually stunning design by People’s Artist of Russia Vyacheslav Okunev.
On 23 and 24 March audiences will enjoy Stravinsky’s The Firebird and Evening of Antique and Modern Choreography. The Firebird presents a modern ballet art interpretation by Eldar Aliev, who combined several popular fairy-tale plots with neoclassical choreography. The vibrant staging was created by St Petersburg theatre artists Semyon Pastukh and Galina Solovyova. The second part of the evening will feature exemplary pieces from the ballets Raymonda and Satanella, the legendary The Swan miniature by Michel Fokine and the choreographic piece Inspiration by Eldar Aliev.
