BGE Theatre, Tuesday 22nd October - Saturday 26th October

St Petersburg Ballet Theatre – Swan Lake.

Following two sold-out seasons at the London Coliseum, the grace and beauty of Swan Lake comes to Dublin, accompanied by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Founded in 1994, St Petersburg Ballet Theatre is renowned globally not just for its beautiful Vaganova trained dancers but also for its stunning full-length productions. Led by prima ballerina Irina Kolesnikova, the company travels internationally, performing classical masterpieces from its repertoire including Giselle, Don Quixote, The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. The incredibly popular company is in such demand that it gives 200 performances every year.

Irina Kolesnikova has a wealth of leading credits to her name, having been prima ballerina at St Petersburg Ballet Theatre since the age of 21. Following last year's performances in London, the Sunday Express praised her “stunning classical technique, alone worth the price of the ticket” and declared that she has “the dramatic power of a Maggie Smith or Judy Dench.”

Kolesnikova will also be joined on stage by guest stars from Russia's leading ballet company, the Bolshoi Ballet, including principal dancer Alexander Volchkov, who will play the role of Prince Siegfried at all performances, and Diana Koseryeva who shares the role of Odette/Odile with Irina Kolesnikova.
