June 28, 2013 introduced a new Theatre ballet program titled "En Pointe». It's three stories told on pointe - Grand Pas from the ballet "Paquita», «Eventual Progress / irreversible progress" and "Variations Salieri".

"Paquita" belongs to the most beautiful ballets, to deprive the public of which academic theater simply not allowed. Grand Pas from "Paquita" ballet adorns the repertoire of the leading theaters of the world, and now reappeared in our country. As an example of the selected version of the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre, which to this day dancing at the famous Mariinsky Theatre. Wrap a reference to the classic choreographer Vyacheslav Muhamedov.

The scenery for the play created Alona Pikalova, large scenic artist features that it has already demonstrated in our performances of "conservatives" and "La Bayadere". As always, in tandem with her costume she worked as a master of the Bolshoi Theatre Yelena Zaitseva. Set design for the play-imperially luxurious!

Jonathan Watkins, yesterday soloist of the Royal Ballet, staged his first ballet in Russia. The luggage Jonathan Watkins already has several interesting works, including for Covent Garden. His choreography is distinguished expressive style. For his performances «Eventual Progress» he chose opus of modern English minimalist composer Michael Nyman, was widely known for his music for the films of Peter Greenaway. Jonathan obsessed with the desire to put a conceptual thing - it will be deprived of the ballet scene, but is full of philosophy.

The third part of the future prime minister - a ballet entitled "Variations Salieri" - Vyacheslav Samodurov wrote: "This is my vision of what is going through a metamorphosis classical ballet today, in that it is transformed as the tradition and that of the new finds." Explaining his plan, the choreographer said that his ballet, on the contrary, deprived of any special contents and philosophy: "It's a beautiful dance divertissement - and no subtext."

On stage were the first performances and now must recognize the undoubted merit of this production: two of the three ballets - «Eventual Progress» and «Variations Salieri" were world premieres. These original works created for the theater troupe of the Ekaterinburg - and such an exclusive and lively choreography firsthand - this is exactly what is most valued in today's world of ballet.
