Schedule for Grand Prix of the Mikhailovsky Theatre 2022


Orchestra: Mikhailovsky Symphony Orchestra

The Charity Project
From the 19nd to the 21th November 2010, the Mikhailovsky Theatre Grand Prix — an annual showcase of students from Russia’s leading ballet schools — will take place for the second time.

This charitable project organized by the Mikhailovsky Theatre first took place in 2009. The main peculiarity of the Grand Prix was that the cash prizes were awarded not only to the winners, but also to the schools participating in the contest — the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet, The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, and the Novosibirsk State Choreographic College.

This autumn, the young pupils of Russia’s leading ballet schools will take to the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theatre once more to show the fruits of both their and their tutors’ labours.

The jury will be led by the world renowned choreographer Roland Petit. In the framework of the Grand Prix two one-act ballets by Jiri Kylian La Petite mort and Six Dances will be premiered by the Ballet Company of the Moscow Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre.
