THE Russian State Ballet of Siberia returns to the UK in 2020 for a 22-venue tour from January 2 to March 15, including three nights at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon.

It will be the company’s 18th UK tour and will feature exquisite performances of four of the world’s most popular ballets, Coppélia, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker.

Three of these will be performed at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. They are Sleeping Beauty on March 9 at 7.30pm; The Nutcracker on March 10 at 7.30pm, and Swan Lake on March 11 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

The Russian State Ballet is one of Russia’s leading ballet companies having built an international reputation for delivering performances of outstanding quality and depth.

The company comprises over 40 dancers and 30 musicians and the soloists and corps de ballet have delighted audiences worldwide with their breath-taking physical ability and beautiful costumes as each storyline unfolds to the live accompaniment of the orchestra.

The productions merge traditional and digital worlds with an imaginative staging set against an ever-changing colourful backdrop with magical special effects.

Artistic Director, Sergei Bobrov said, “It is always a pleasure to bring the unique traditions of Russian Ballet to British audiences.

Touring across the UK with a full company of dancers as well as highly skilled musicians is always exciting. For me, it is very special to have the power of a symphony orchestra bringing the choreography to life on stage.”
