Русский балет

Балет в России стал одной из визитных карточек нашей страны. Согласно источникам, первое представление прошло еще в 1670-е, во время царствования царя Алексея Михайловича.

Настоящий расцвет русского балета пришёлся на рубеж 18-19 веков, и к началу 20 в. он занял ведущее место в мировом балетном театре.

Всемирно известные русские балеты – «Лебединое озеро» и «Щелкунчик» П.И. Чайковского, «Ромео и Джульетта» С. Прокофьева и «Спартак» А. Хачатуряна.

Если вы когда-нибудь будете в России, обязательно сходите в Большой театр в Москве или Мариинский театр в Санкт-Петербурге.

 

Translation

Ballet in Russia has become one of the calling cards of our country. According to sources, the first performance took place in 1670, during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich.

The real flowering of the Russian ballet fell on the turn of the 18-19th centuries, and by the beginning of the 20th century, it took the leading place in the world ballet theater.

World-famous Russian ballets - "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker" P. Tchaikovsky, "Romeo and Juliet" by S. Prokofiev and "Spartacus" A. Khachaturyan.

 If you ever come to Russia, be sure to visit the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow or the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg.
