St. Petersburg State Ballet was the first ballet theater in Russia.  Since its founding in 1966, the company has continued to bring Russian Ballet and international masterpieces to artists and audiences in Russia and abroad.

Passions a la Carmen by Georges Bizet

This spring, the troupe will perform a ballet interpretation of Georges Bizet’s Carmen. Choreographed by Artistic Director Yuri Petukhov, this dynamic piece captures the spirit of the turbulent love triangle and bull-fighting culture of Bizet’s tragic heroine.

Master Works En Pointe: Four One-Act Ballets

Original works inspired by artistic greats:

Shostakovich’s Wedding Cortège: choreographed by Leonid Jacobson in honor of Marc Chagall’s drawings and the resilience of the Jewish artists in an anti-Semitic Russia.

Rodin, a ballet inspired by Auguste Rodin’s amorous sculptures, choreographed by Leonid Jacobson and performed to music by Claude Debussy, Sergey Prokofiev and Alban Berg.

Tchaikovsky’s Italian Capriccio: a piece inspired by the legendary composer’s folk-infused tribute to his memorable Roman holiday. Choreographed by Artistic Director of the St. Petersburg State Ballet Theater, Yuri Petukhov.

Also choreographed by Yuri Petukhov, Boléro− widely considered Maurice Ravel’s best-known ballet−recalls the artist’s industrial Basque heritage on the French-Spanish border.
