An acclaimed ballet company from Russia returns to the UK with a new tour.

The Russian State Ballet of Siberia will perform Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, The Snow Maiden, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake at Wycombe Swan in the new year.

It will be the company’s 16th UK tour and will feature “exquisite” performances of five of the world’s most popular ballets.

The Russian State Ballet of Siberia has established itself as one of Russia’s leading ballet companies and has built an international reputation for delivering performances of outstanding quality and depth.

The soloists and corps de ballet have been delighting audiences with their physical ability and beautiful costumes as each storyline unfolds to the live accompaniment of the orchestra.

The company is made up of more than 40 dancers and 30 musicians. For the 2018 season, the company will merge traditional and digital worlds with an imaginative staging set against an ever-changing colourful backdrop with magical special effects.

Commenting on the production, artistic director Sergei Bobrov said: “It is always a pleasure to bring the unique traditions of Russian Ballet to British audiences.

“Touring across the UK with a full company of dancers as well as highly skilled musicians is always exciting, for me, it is very special to have the power of a symphony orchestra bringing the choreography to life on stage.”
