Russian National Ballet Theatre: Gala Performance

ECU's S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series presents the greatest "hits" of the Russian ballet tradition. In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko was selected by presidential decree to assume the permanent artistic directorship of the Russian National Ballet Theatre. She has upheld the grand national tradition of the Russian ballet. Enjoy “Stars of the Russian Ballet,” a gala program featuring ten excerpts including selections from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty and Romeo and Juliet, Prokofiev’s Cinderella, and perhaps the most famous solo dance ever, “the Dying Swan.” Individual tickets for this event are available on February 17.
