Gergiev conduct Prokofjew‐Ballette: Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden
About the Event
Enjoy three short ballets to music by the great Russian composer conducted by Valery Gergiev.
It’s not often that Valery Gergiev conducts ballets. He has been doing so recently in order to draw attention to productions by the Mariinsky Ballet that are important to him: like this evening of Prokofiev that opens with a celebrated choreography by George Balanchine. The ballet will be presented alongside two works by young Russian choreographers who carry on the company’s great tradition.
