An Evening of One-Act Ballets by Grand Kyiv Ballet features a powerful double bill: Carmen Suite and the world premiere of Boléro. Carmen Suite is a bold, electrifying reimagining of the classic tale, set to Rodion Shchedrin's dramatic adaptation of Bizet's music. Carmen emerges as a passionate, fearless force of nature in a gripping story of love, desire, and destiny. The evening continues with Boléro, a world premiere choreographed by Grand Kyiv Ballet resident choreographer Vladislav Dobshynskyi. Set to Maurice Ravel's iconic score, this mesmerizing new work builds with relentless intensity through rhythm, movement, and collective energy. Together, these two one-act ballets blend classical tradition with contemporary vision, creating a visually stunning and emotionally powerful experience performed by the internationally acclaimed artists of Grand Kyiv Ballet. This event takes place in the historic Five Flags Theater, and there are no elevators to get to the mezzanine and balcony levels.
