Snow Maiden

Vladimir Burmeister was the first soviet choreographer, who was invited for staging in Paris National opera in 1960. During his work on “The Swan Lake” he also got invited by British company “Festival Ballet” to produce new ballet performance, based on Piotr Tchaikovsky’s music.
  «The Snow Maiden” (a play by Alexander Ostrovsky), is used as a basis for new Burmeister’s production. “The Snow Maiden” score is worked out from diverse musical pieces, written by Tchaikovsky. The premiere of new production took place in London (in summer of 1961) first, and further, in 1963, Burmeister made a revival of «The Snow Maiden” at the stage of Moscow Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre. For more than 50 years this ballet production is being warmly acclaimed by the audience.
