One thing is certain, great attention is paid to the quality by dancers and ballet masters. Among the most striking aspects are the figures in positioning, the simultaneity of the dancers who learned to look at and listen to each other, and the great qualities of each one: we see unity in bodies and technique. There is something indefinable that belongs to Russia and can be transcribed with such an accuracy only by a Russian company.
The scenery and costumes are a tribute to the cultural richness of Russia, which preserves its artistic heritage: always magnificent, but never vulgar, brilliant and doing justice to the greatness of Russian knowledge.

The Russian ballet school produces dancers that surprise with their excellence of technique, physical performance and stamina, and most of all, with the overall artistic effect they deliver.
The choreography of this ballet is superb, the stage design enchanting, the rhythms and the flow of the dance and of the story line are precisely timed, and the gamut of color combinations very expressive.

We are impressed by the mastery of these classical dancers and by their impeccable synchronism.

Solos, duets and figures are impeccably danced, mastered, dominated. It is simply, purely and artistically beautiful.
