History

Keeping a tradition alive.

Creating the "Russian State Ballet" was the dream of Irina Tichomirova, the prima ballerina of the "Bolshoi Ballet" and Director of the Moscow Philharmonic Society. She was already 62 when her dream became reality in 1979.Talented stars from the famous Bolshoi, Kirov and Stanislavski ensembles joined her to take up the challenge of the project: to form a touring ensemble of the highest quality which would dance the message of Russian ballet into everybody’s heart all around the world .

The Russian State Ballet TheatreUnder the "Bolshoi" star-soloist and choreographer Viatcheslav Gordeev’s leadership the "Russian State Ballet" was shaped into the high degree of artistic expression, gracefulness and body control we can enjoy today.

Since a tour to the United States in 1987 attended by the former President Ronald Reagan the company has embarked on a series of international tours across the world. Also a lively response was encountered on various tours which led the ensemble through Mexico, Taiwan, The People’s Republic of China, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland and the Middle East. The "Russian State Ballet" now tours Europe every year and has become a wonderful part of the Christmas season not only in Germany. The company was honoured by the Association of West-European Impresarios as "the best touring ballet company of Europe". Several cities in the USA, France and Mexico have elected the dancers of the "Russian State Ballet" honorary citizens, and the people of New Orleans have a new public holiday: "The Russian State Ballet Day"!

The "Russian State Ballet" presents an exciting and demanding programme of classical and modern ballet, created by traditional and new choreographers like Ivanov, Petipa, Gorsky or Gordeev himself. Especially Gordeev’s renderings of folk and pop songs, for example Lionel Richie’s "Hello", are always extremely well received by the audience. With its 50 soloists, of whom many are laureates of national and international ballet competitions, the "Russian State Ballet" is along with the "Bolshoi" and the "Kirov Ballets" the most famous Ballet world-wide. Even Mikhail Gorbachev as a great admirer of the "Russian State Ballet" has functioned as patron for some of the tours.
