On the stage of the Mikhailovsky, you can once again see the legendary ballet by Aram Khachaturian - a sensation of the Soviet era, discussions about which continue to this day. This provocative and dynamic performance became one of the loudest sensations of the Soviet ballet era. However, even today it looks no less impressive than it did sixty years ago. The ballet has remained in the repertoire of the academic theatre due to the immense interest of the audience. The grand scenes of imperial Rome with its luxurious processions, feasts, and gladiatorial battles captivate the imagination. Against this colorful backdrop, dramatic collisions unfold, characters clash, and passions ignite. The rapid action resembles cinematic action, where scenes alternate with captivating speed. And the powerful energy of the performance blurs the boundaries between the stage and the audience. For more performances in St. Petersburg, check out our website in the theatre section.
