Premiere: Symphony in Three Movements (Poklitaru/Stravinsky)


Recommended Posts

The season's first ballet premiere is Poklitaru's "Symphony in Three Movements" conducted by Gergiev and starring Svetlana Ivanova (as "She") and the busy Yuri Smekalov (as "He"). Photos from the MT's Facebook page attest to this being no clone of Balanchine's earlier essay to the same music:

Yes, dragging, rolling, rocking ... please just DANCE. I am fed up with the current Mariinsky management's obsession with all things "modern" at the expense of the preservation of its heritage of great classical ballet.
