ROMEO & JULIET
Ballet Production by The Russian National Ballet Theatre
Tues., March 29, 2011 at 8 p.m.
The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during the transitional period
of Perestroika in the late 1980s, when many of the great dancers and choreographers of
the Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their new-found creative freedom by
starting new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical
Russian Ballet but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to accept new
developments in the dance from around the world.
The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was founded by and incorporated
graduates from the great Russian choreographic schools. The principal dancers of the
company came from the upper ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of
Russia, and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today, the Russian National
Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over 50 dancers of singular instruction and vast
experience, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. In addition
to their upcoming tour, beginning in January 2011 the company will embark upon a 4-month
coast-to-coast tour of the United States. The company’s performance of Shakespeare’s
timeless classic is sure to delight.
