«Schaherezada» with the star of the world ballet - Diana Vishneva in Almaty

Diana Vishneva in Schaherezada - the main cultural event of the season by Ballet Globe in Almaty

The International Ballet Globe Dance Festival and the Abay Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theatre present an exclusive evening of ballets by Mikhail Fokine - a genius who revolutionized the language of classical dance.

On September 26 and 28, the centrepiece of the evening will be Diana Vishneva, one of the most influential and acclaimed ballerinas of our time. The prima ballerina of the Mariinsky Theatre, renowned for her exceptional stage presence, will perform the role of Scheherazade - a part that demands not only technical brilliance but profound emotional depth. Her partner is Vladislav Lantratov, a principal dancer of the Bolshoi Theatre. Their rare joint appearance is a true gift for the audience and a world-class cultural event.

Programme:
Part I - Chopiniana, delicate lyricism and poetic movement set to the music of Chopin.
Part II - Scheherazade, a sensual and vibrant production to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov.

Mikhail Fokine, a reformer at the origins of the 20th-century ballet revolution, created works that still feel contemporary today. They speak of the soul, drama, and the human condition. The evening will be accompanied by the symphony orchestra of the Abay Theatre under the baton of Chief Conductor Nurzhan Baibusinov.

Don’t miss the chance to witness Diana Vishneva in this legendary role, forever etched in the history of world ballet!
