The Russians are coming to Hamilton

The Russians are coming — specifically the ballet spectacular A Russian Triple Bill — and better still we have a double pass to their evening performance in Hamilton for you to take in the magic.

Following their sell-out performances of A Festival of Russian Ballet,

the Imperial Russian Ballet Company return to New Zealand with A Russian Triple Bill. This is the first time that the company have brought this stunning programme to New Zealand and it is visiting Hamilton’s Clarence Street Theatre on Sunday, November 4 at 2.30 and 7.30pm.

Act 1: Sleeping Beauty (Act III pictured). A holiday is declared for the wedding of Princess Aurora and Prince Desire. This is a joyous and happy ballet which will be loved by all.

Act 2: Les Sylphides. A short ballet in one act about a young man who while walking at night encounters a group of sylphs or magical women.

Act 3: Carmen. Carmen is a flirtatious and seductive gypsy woman whose love affair with two men ends in tragedy.

In a night that overflows with all things ballet, you can't help be swept up by the sheer panache of the Imperial Russian Ballet Company dancers. —

Nobody does ballet like the Russians and the Imperial Russian Ballet Company does it best of all. Be there. Tickets from Ticketek. The West Australian.
