Raymonda

Nacho Duato, for the first time in his career, turns to Alexander Glazunov’s ballet “Raymonda”. The choreographer’s new production will transport audiences to the age of knights and fair ladies. As in any chivalric romance, there is room here for battles and heroism — though these occur not only on the battlefield, but also in the heart of a young girl. Will Raymonda wait faithfully for her betrothed, the crusader knight Jean de Brienne, or will she yield to the fiery passion of the Saracen Abderakhman, who is captivated by her beauty?
The exquisite sets by Jaffar Chalabi and elegant costumes by Angelina Atlagić will create a unique atmosphere of a medieval castle, where West meets East.
The principal roles are being rehearsed by Angelina Vorontsova, Anastasia Soboleva, Prisca Zeisel, Ernest Latypov, Nikita Tchetverikov, Victor Lebedev, Danila Khamzin, and Mikhail Batalov.
