BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The troupe formally named the Russian State Academic Classic Ballet Theatre is known world-wide as the “Moscow Classical Ballet”. The ballet company came into existence in 1966. It was established by the USSR Ministry of culture. Renowned Igor Moiseyev became its artistic director. Its repertoire consisted then of excerpts from classical ballets and choreographic miniatures produced by such choreographers as Goleizovsky, Messerer and Moiseyev himself. In 1977 Vladimir Vasilyov, Asaf Messerer's pupil, assumed the role of Artistic Director from Igor Moiseyev and Natalia Kasatkina, Marina Semyonova's student, assumed the role of Principal Choreographer. Their arrival on the scene transformed the ballet company into the troupe it is today. The troupe has emerged from its earlier role as a concert company into that of a touring ballet theater.

In 2006 the Classical Ballet Theatre led by Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilyov marked its 40th anniversary. 2007 marked the 30th anniversary since Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilyov assumed the roles of the Theatre's artistic directors. They staged modern ballets and restored classical performances and were creators of one and only concept ballet theatre in Moscow.

The Theatre's original repertoire any company would be proud of is known to theatre lovers in over 200 cities in the Russian Federation and the near abroad. It performed in over 30 countries across 5 continents. 75 ballet dancers, 30 tons worth of stage sets and over 4000 theatre costumes tour the world all year round.

“All genres except tideous!” is the motto of the Classical Ballet Theatre, thus any performance is striving to tell a coherent and fascinating story equally interesting for people of all ages, nationalities and beliefs.
