Leonid Yacobson Ballet Theatre is pleased to invite college graduates with tertiary education in ballet to audition for its troupe on 21 May at 4 Dumskaya Street (on the premises of the Bolshoi Gostiny Dvor department store).

The art of ballet demands tremendous skill and hard work not just from dancers, but also from those who teach them. Behind each performer’s success, lie hours and hours of daily toil in ballet classrooms, where the ballet artist hones each pas to perfection under the guidance of their tutor.

On 11 May, the Vladikavkaz Opera and Ballet Theatre, a branch of Mariinsky Theatre in North Ossetia-Alania, hosted The Swan Lake show, which opened the local tour of the Leonid Yacobson Ballet Theatre.

The Leonid Yacobson Ballet Theatre will perform its Swan Lake and Don Quixote ballets in Vladikavkaz from 11 to 18 May, as part of the Grand Tour project organised by the ROSCONCERT state event planning agency. The troupe will play at the Mariinsky Theatre branch in North Ossetia.
