Ballet "The Seagull. Ballet History" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: Eifman, Chekhov and Rachmaninov in a unique production
The ballet "The Seagull. A Ballet Story" by Boris Eifman, inspired by the play by A. P. Chekhov and the music by S. V. Rachmaninov and A. Sitkovetsky, invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theatre for an unforgettable journey into the world of behind-the-scenes passions and creative torments. The sets by Zinovy Margolin, the costumes by Olga Shaishmelashvili and the lighting solutions by Gleb Filshtinsky and Boris Eifman create an atmosphere where each element of the performance becomes part of a complex mosaic of human emotions.
This production reveals to the viewers not only the dramatic interweaving of the characters' destinies, but also deep reflections on the nature of creativity.
