In autumn 2014, for the first time in its history, the Mikhailovsky Ballet is going on tour in the United States. From 11–23 November, the Ñompany will perform at the Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York, and from 28–30 November, at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in California.

The Mikhailovsky Ballet has put together a tour programme that includes world classics and ballets from the Soviet period, as well as contemporary productions which demonstrate the company’s continual search for new artistic forms.

The company’s leading soloists, whose names are synonymous around the world with the highest achievements in Russian ballet today, will take part in the tour. Among these will be the phenomenal Natalia Osipova, Ivan Vasiliev, and Leonid Sarafanov — all top-ranking international stars — as well as dancers, whose talent has received well-deserved recognition and whose names are also well known: Angelina Vorontsova, Oksana Bondareva, Anastasia Soboleva, Victor Lebedev and Ivan Zaytsev.

The Mikhailovsky Theatre acknowledges the generous philanthropic support of the General Partner of the Mikhailovsky Ballet Mr. Sergey N. Adonyev.
