Ballet "Russian Hamlet": the return of a great masterpiece to the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre

The ballet "Russian Hamlet" returns to the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre from May 9 to August 21. This performance, created by the great choreographer Boris Eifman, is a unique work of art that is definitely worth seeing.

The story of the performance is based on the life and fate of Paul I, one of the most mysterious and controversial characters in Russian history. Eifman limited the chronological framework of the production to the period of Paul I's succession and brilliantly conveyed his tragic confrontation with the surrounding world, full of violence, treachery and lies.

The performance "Russian Hamlet" has already won the hearts of viewers not only in Russia, but also abroad. It was successfully shown in the USA, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, China, South Korea, Argentina and many other countries. Critics have unequivocally recognized Boris Eifman as a great choreographer, capable of electrifying images and theatrical fantasies. 

In the 40th anniversary season of the Theater, Eifman returns to "Russian Hamlet", further rethinking and improving the choreographic score. This will be an unforgettable spectacle, filled with sophistication, emotionality and talent of dancers.

Don't miss the opportunity to plunge into the world of art and passion by visiting the ballet "Russian Hamlet" at the Alexandrinsky Theater. Tickets are already available on our website. Immerse yourself in the magic of the ballet, which will leave an unforgettable impression.
