On 9 February, the birthday of Honoured Artist of Russia Vladimir Shklyarov, the Mariinsky Theatre will host an evening dedicated to the memory of the brilliant danseur noble on its Historic Stage. Stars of both the Mariinsky and Bolshoi ballets will participate in this special event. Arseny Shuplyakov will conduct the Mariinsky Orchestra.
For the many admirers of this exceptional artist who are unable to attend in person, the Mariinsky Theatre will live stream The Magic of Vladimir Shklyarov on its official VKontakte community and the Mariinsky.tv website.
The programme includes:
Act III of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Sleeping Beauty. Choreography by Marius Petipa (reconstruction of the 1890 production), staged by Sergei Vikharev. Principal roles will be danced by Renata Shakirova and Philipp Stepin.
Gala programme featuring soloists from the Mariinsky and Bolshoi ballets. The programme includes choreographic masterpieces from across the years, reflecting the magic of Vladimir Shklyarov’s transformations – roles in which he shone as a soloist. Close colleagues from different generations will pose questions to Vladimir about his craft, his roles, and, of course, about happiness, and the audience will see video responses from their beloved danseur noble.
Kingdom of the Shades scene from Ludwig Minkus’ ballet La Bayadère. Choreography by Marius Petipa (1877) in the version by Vladimir Ponomarev and Vakhtang Chabukiani (1941). Principal roles will be performed by Viktoria Tereshkina and Kimin Kim.
The concept for the evening was conceived by Yuri Smekalov, with video projections by Andrey Sevbo.
