The Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre, located just 750 metres from the Bolshoi Theatre, presents "Illusive Ball" and "Class Concert" — an elegant evening of one-act ballets that celebrates the poetry of classical dance and the refined art of ballet performance. The programme brings together dancers whose professional paths are closely connected with the Bolshoi tradition: artists who have appeared on the Bolshoi stage and performers trained at the same leading academies that have shaped generations of Bolshoi soloists. Their shared school, precision of style and expressive clarity lend the evening a distinctly high artistic standard.

The programme for the new evening of one-act ballets will include Dmitry Bryantsev's "Illusive Ball" and Maxim Sevagin's "Class Concert".

The "Illusive Ball" on the music of Chopin was performed by Dmitry Bryantsev at the end of the 20th century. First, the choreographer composed «Romantic Duet» on the music of Chopin’s second piano concert. Over time, the choreographer supplemented the ballet with new episodes, consonant with the idea and atmosphere.

The second performance of the evening, "Class Concert", by Maxim Sevagin, the Ballet Company's Artistic Director, to music by D. Auber and J. Offenbach, is inspired by the aesthetic of classical ballet art. Mirrors, easel, white tutus, tights, and the structural elements of a classical lesson will become the main means of visual embodiment of the performance. According to Sevagin's idea, the music by Auber will be reserved for conventionally modern dancers - the ballerina, the premiere, the corps de ballet, and the dancers in the corps de ballet. They will have the difficult task of demonstrating their mastery of the academic school. Offenbach's suite inspired the choreographer to turn to the images of Anna Pavlova and Enrico Cecchetti, whose characters perform the inset pas de deux in a style that differs from the rest of the production. The performance will conclude with the distinctive feature of the class-concert format - a demonstration of the virtuoso technique of the company's ballet dancers.
