 Ballet by John Cranko in three acts to music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. 155 min. Sets and Costumes - Jürgen Rose. Choreographic supervision - Reid Anderson. Ballet Masters - Agneta Valcu, Victor Valcu. Lighting Designer - Steen Bjarke. Music Director - Pavel Sorokin. Rights owner - Dieter Graefe. Arrangement and Orchestration - Kurt-Heinz Stolze. The score has been made available by Adrian Thome Musikverlag, Munich. John Cranko's interpretation of Pushkin's verse-novel contains some of ballet's most emotionally charged moments, set to stirring music by Tchaikovsky. Onegin displays all of Cranko's genius as a narrative choreographer - within a tight dramatic structure, Cranko creates finely drawn characters who are changed by the conflicts that they face.

 Ballet in two acts (with a prologue and apotheosis) by Pyotr Chaikovsky. 140 min. Choreography: M. Petipa, N. Kasatkin, V. Vasilyov. Staging: N. Kasatkina and V. Vasilyov. Sleeping Beauty by Kasatkina and Vasilyov was for the first time presented in Cannes, France in 2004. Since then the beauty of this fantastic story has been inspiring adults and children, critics and poets – the audience worldwide. The costumes and scenery create a special atmosphere: by the wave of a magic wand a delicate castle grows, the bewitched wood rustles with branches on stage… The libretto united Charles Perrault's The Sleeping Beauty and The Beauty and the Beast. As usual, the combination of original and classical choreography has become a trademark of the directors. The performance is accompanied by the orchestra of the Kolobov New Opera theater. Valery Kritskov is the conductor.
