La compañía Moscow State Ballet presenta una versión en esta disciplina del cuento de hadas La Cenicienta, en su versión más tradicional.

En una escenografía saturada de color y música tradicional, el Moscow State Ballet presenta la versión original del ballet de La Cenicienta, bajo la dirección de Liudmila Titova, con 13 bailarines que transitan en 15 escenarios.

La propuesta de la directora es adentrar al público a lo más profundo de la historia original escrita en 1697 por Charles Perrault, y alejarse de las versiones de la industria del cine.

About the performance

Moscow State Ballet Theatre, founded in 2016, headed by Lyudmila Titova has already won the love of the audience in Russia and around the world. Each year, a young and ambitious team consisting of graduates of the best choreographic schools of our country releases a new performance in collaboration with famous choreographers. The premiere of this season is the two-act ballet Cinderella to the music of S. Prokofiev based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. The original libretto and staging is the result of the joint work of Sofya Gaidukova and Konstantin Matulevsky, both laureates of Russian and foreign competitions.

The curtain rises, and the viewer is inside a magic book, literally and figuratively. The voluminous scenery and props create an illusion of a fantasy world. Flying out of children’s cards, paper pictures come to life, turning into characters that inhabit the fairy kingdom, where citizens love and know how to dance. The King, of course, dances best. He is happy to teach his people. The clumsy, lazy sisters Zlyuka and Krivlyaka, headed by their Stepmother, can not succeed, despite their huge conceit. Stupidity and malignity prevent them from gliding elegantly around the ballroom. The modest and hardworking Cinderella, on the contrary, grasps everything quickly. Her dance conquers the Prince. The fatal striking of the clock dispels the charms of the good Fairy-godmother, the carriage turns into a pumpkin, but the charm of innocence, simplicity, unprecedented at court, remains domineering over the heart of the young prince, forcing him to go in search of his beloved.

The performance is based on neoclassical choreography, where traditional ballet steps alternate with unexpected breaks in the body, with free plasticity inherent in modern dance. This style allows to most fully convey the atmosphere of a fairy kingdom.

Cinderella by S. Gaidukova and K. Matulevsky is a colorful, funny, vivid performance, full of humor embedded in the music of S. Prokofiev. The ballet will bring a lot of joy to both the smallest spectators and their parents, because almost every adult is a child inside who sometimes really wants to believe in a good fairy tale for at least a couple of hours.

Počas štyroch večerov si diváci budú môcť vychutnať Labutie jazero, Luskáčika, Šípkovú Ruženku a Rómea a Júliu v podaní slávneho ruského baletu. Autor: SHOW SLOVAKIA

Je to už viac ako sto rokov, čo Sergej Ďagilev, impresário (dnes by sme ho nazvali manažér) a mág ruského baletu, priviezol do Paríža slávnych moskovských a petrohradských umelcov.

Na začiatku minulého storočia boli francúzsko-ruské kultúrne vzťahy veľmi silné, ruskí hudobníci, výtvarníci a tanečníci boli inšpiráciou pre francúzskych umelcov a mnohí sa v Paríži usadili natrvalo. Obe kultúry sa veľmi zbližovali a výsledkom boli aj tzv. Ruské sezóny, ktoré už v roku 1907 začal Sergej Ďagilev organizovať.

The new season 2019-2020 “Moscow State Ballet” opened in China. Ludmila Titova came to the Chine for the first time, at the invitation of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Yunnan Province. The performance of Russian artists was timed to coincide with the celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, as well as the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Moscow, which to this day remains the main ally of the country with one and a half billion people. The main anniversary celebrations will be held in Beijing on October 1.

On September 7 and 8, 2019, at the Yunnan Grand Theater in Kunming, the Moscow State Ballet showed Chinese viewers not the traditional Swan Lake, but Prokofiev’s drum ballet Romeo and Juliet. In the professional environment, there is a belief that the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire do not want to watch anything other than “swans”. The Moscow State Ballet destroyed stereotypes: with bated breath, the audience watched the play of artists who not only masterfully performed the set jumps and pirouettes, but lived their roles. Both performances were with a huge success.

At the end of May 2019, dancers of the Moscow State Ballet Theater will first set foot on the shores of the South Sea. Korean viewers will see the unsurpassed classics, “Swan Lake” by P. I. Tchaikovsky. Residents of the following three Korean cities will have an opportunity to enjoy the beauty and grace of Russian ballerinas:

-Suncheon (Suncheon), Suncheon Culture & Arts Center — 30 May;

-Gimhae (Gimhae), Gimhae Culture Center — 31 May;

-Icheon (Icheon), Incheon Arts Hall — 1 June.

This small tour is just the beginning of our way eastwards. We look forward to a warm welcome and continued fruitful cooperation with our Korean friends, so that next time we can come to more cities and show new performances, presenting the masterpieces of Russian art and getting acquainted with the ancient and distinctive culture of this country.
