The Brilliant Divertissement

Premiere

The attendees will get to see not only the famous miniatures, which they may have already familiarised themselves at the Forever Timeless. Leonid Yacobson's Ballet Masterpieces shows, but also all-new pieces that have just been restored: The Brilliant Divertissement, The Swan, Medieval Dance with Kisses, and Cachucha.

‘Our troupe was named after one of the most remarkable choreographers of all time, and preserving his ballets is both a duty and an honour. We are gradually reviving his masterpieces, with utmost care and respect,’ says Andrian Fadeev, Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation and art Director of the Leonid Yacobson Ballet Theatre. ‘We have the only repertoire in the world that features Yacobson’s unique productions, and we are delighted to reveal this great treasure of St. Petersburg at different venues around the globe.’
