The vacation of Eifman Ballet is over. Today, a gathering was held at the rehearsal base where the choreographer traditionally introduced new dancers and revealed plans for the first half of the upcoming season. We share with you the details:

• In July, audiences of Minsk and Moscow (where the dancers will be hosted by the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus and the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia) will have a chance to experience the art of Eifman Ballet.

• On August 26, 27 and 28, the premiere of a new version of the ballet Red Giselle will take place in St. Petersburg. The next meetings of the Company with dance connoisseurs in its hometown are planned for the second half of October, as well as for the pre-New Year period.

• In September, Eifman Ballet will hold a series of performances in Tel Aviv. The end of the first autumn month and the beginning of October will be devoted to tours in Samara and Ufa.

• In November, the dancers will begin a large Asian tour. It will last until mid-December and will include performances in China (in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai), Vietnam and India. After that, the Company will visit Egypt.

• January 2026 will be marked by the shooting of the screen ballet Crime and Punishment.

• Eleven young dancers, graduates of the Boris Eifman Dance Academy, the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and other leading schools, joined the Company.

“Our Company is the company of the future. I am sure that many colleagues will begin to actively adopt its creative experience,” Eifman emphasized, addressing the dancers. The choreographer also expressed hope that the new members of the Company will be able to truly realize themselves in the difficult but interesting profession they have chosen. “You must sincerely love the art you serve, live by it. And then this love will guide you, give you strength and make you happy people,” Boris Eifman said.
