ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Russian National Ballet Theatre of Moscow -- Debut Tour of USA 
** Company of 55 dancers **
** 55-member Sofia Symphony Orchestra performs the Tschaikovsky score **

The RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE was brought together and inspired for serious work by its leaders: General Director Vladimir Moiseev, a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater and grandson of the legendary Igor Moiseev, and Artistic Director Evgeny Amosov. The RNBT was founded with the help and support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian federation. The necessity to have a young, promising and vibrant theatre with a unique potential in both classical and modern dance, was the main reason for its foundation. 

The corps de ballet of the company numbers 55 dancers, and is the result of a highly disciplined focus to find the most dedicated and talented dancers. A great effort has gone into providing the correct atmosphere and condition in which to develop and perfect the artists mastery and creative search. The company’s main soloists ages range from 17 to 25. Many of them have already won international recognition and are winners of prestigious competitions. Before joining the company most of the artists have already had the experience of working with leading ballet companies of Russia - in such cities as Moscow, Perm, Ekaterinburg, Samara and Novosibirsk. They have mastered equally well the art of classical, character, modern dance and even light jazz, but it is the classical dance
