The Russian Cultural Center in Beijing hosted a hugely successful evening of Russian ballet, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. Leading artists of the Mikhailovsky Theater from St. Petersburg took part in the event: prima ballerina, Honored Artist of Russia Irina Perren and first soloist, Honored Artist of St. Petersburg Marat Shemiunov.
The artists presented a rich program that demonstrated the full range of their virtuoso skills and artistry. The audience witnessed a unique journey through different eras and styles of world ballet.
The evening began with the lyrical and cosmic “Starry Sky” performed by Irina Perren.
The audience saw Maurice Ravel's passionate "Bolero", staged based on the choreography of Bronislava Nijinska.
One of the highlights of the evening was the immortal miniature “The Dying Swan” to the music of Camille Saint-Saëns, where Irina Perrin conveyed all the depth and tragedy of the image.
The final chord of the program was a scene from the ballet “The Firebird” by Igor Stravinsky, choreographed by Mikhail Fokin – bright, fiery and full of the magic of a Russian fairy tale.
A special place in the program was given to the story of the creative path and artistic legacy of Maya Plisetskaya, one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century, whose art had a huge influence on the development of world ballet.
The performance of the Mikhailovsky Theatre stars was met with thunderous applause from the Beijing audience, confirming that high art knows no boundaries and speaks a language that is understandable to the heart without translation.
