The Fountain of Bakhchisarai
About the performance

The "star hour" of the drama ballet was heralded by the appearance in 1934 at the Leningrad Theatre, then not yet known as the Kirov, of the ballet The Fountain of Bakhchisarai. In it the desire to combine choreography with the themes of high literature and the defence of new Soviet art for the sake of realisticity crystalised the new direction of ballet's development.

Premiere of this production: 28 September 1934.

The performance has two intervals.

Libretto by Nikolai Volkov based on the poem by Alexander Pushkin

Choreography by Rostislav Zakharov (1934)

Set and Costume Design: Valentina Khodasevich
