In its jubilee season the Company brings to Moscow for the first time the new ballet about Tchaikovsky

On October 4, 5 and 6 the Moscow premiere of the Boris Eifman's ballet Tchaikovsky. PRO et CONTRA will take place on the New Stage of the Bolshoi Theatre. The performances will be presented within the International Chereshnevy Les Open-Art Festival and will become one of the significant events of Eifman Ballet's jubilee 40th season that was opened in the end of August.

Tchaikovsky. PRO et CONTRA is the result of the choreographer’s years-long contemplation of the great composer’s personality and creative world. The ballet was set to the music of P. I. Tchaikovsky. The premiere took place shortly before the anniversary of Boris Eifman, who celebrated his 70th anniversary on July 22.

The ballet about Tchaikovsky is Boris Eifman’s fifth work that the Company is bringing to Moscow with the assistance of Chereshnevy Les. In May 2012, the European premiere of the ballet Rodin took place during this international festival. The choreographer then won the Oleg Yankovsky Prize “Creative Discovery”, the awarding ceremony of which marked the closing of the Festival. In October, 2013, within the Festival, the Moscow public for the first time saw Beyond Sin based on Dostoyevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov. A year later, in collaboration with Chereshnevy Les, Boris Eifman's Company presented Requiem, and in the fall of 2015 the ballet Up & Down was presented in Moscow. All performances took place on the New Stage of the Bolshoi Theatre.
