Les Ballets Russes à Florence
The historic Teatro della Pergola transforms into a ballet wonderland for Les Ballets Russes à Florence, celebrating the visionary artistry of Sergei Diaghilev's legendary company. With performances of Les Sylphides and selections from Raymonda, the evening promises a dazzling fusion of dance and cultural celebration. Les Ballets Russes à Florence will be staged by the remarkable company ‘Reunited in Dance’, a star-studded ensemble of dancers impacted by the war in Ukraine. Led by dancer and choreographer, Xander Parish OBE, a former principal at the Mariinsky Ballet in Saint Petersburg, the company features Russian and Ukrainian dancers who were previously part of Russia’s most elite dance companies. ‘Reunited in Dance’ hopes to show that dialogue and reconciliation can still be found through the arts and dance.

Con Les Sylphides e selezioni da Raymonda, la serata promette un’affascinante fusione tra danza e celebrazione culturale. A portare in scena Les Ballets Russes à Florence sarà la straordinaria compagnia Reunited in Dance, un ensemble di stelle della danza segnate dalla guerra in Ucraina. Sotto la guida di Xander Parish OBE, ex primo ballerino del Mariinsky Ballet di San Pietroburgo, la compagnia riunisce artisti russi e ucraini provenienti dalle più prestigiose compagnie di danza russe, dimostrando che il dialogo e la riconciliazione possono ancora esistere attraverso l’arte.
