There’s a chance to see some top quality ballet this weekend as the Russian State Ballet and Orchestra of Siberia return to The Grand Theatre from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th January 2011 with three of the most popular and beautiful ballets ever performed!DON QUIXOTE - Friday 7 January at 7.30pm
This is the enchanting story of the eccentric, yet noble old gentleman Don Quixote. His dreams of a fantasy world full of brave knights and beautiful ladies take us on a chivalrous adventure with his trusty servant. Love, duels and spectacular choreography combine with a dash of Spanish passion in one of the most beautiful and moving of all ballets.
THE NUTCRACKER - Saturday 8 January at 2.30pm and 7.30pm
In a magical new production, this most famous of fantasy ballets opens as night falls on a traditional fireside scene on Christmas Eve. On the stroke of midnight we are transported to an enchanting world where toy dolls come to life as an army of soldiers does battle with a gang of mice and a Nutcracker is transformed into a handsome prince.
SWAN LAKE - Sunday 9 January at 2.30pm & 7.30pm
The greatest romantic ballet of all! This is an immortal love story filled with magic, emotion and beauty. From the opulence and splendour of the magnificent court room to the exhilarating lake scenes where swans play in perfect formation, Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful music creates a truly unforgettable experience.
