The show was presented against a backdrop of panoramic sets that reflected in turn the spirit of imperial pre-revolutionary Russia, the passion of socialist zeal, the patriotism and unity of wartime, and the sparkling talent and richness of modern Russia.

Programme

Celebrated prima ballerina Anastasia Volochkova will be dancing at Sadler's Wells on Monday 30 October with a host of other ballet stars, to raise money for a very special school in Russia.

In this rare London appearance, Anastasia will be dancing in popular classics and works by leading choreographers created specially for her - including one of her favourite pieces, 'Eternal Love'. This is a romantic story of a young lady whose fate takes her from one 'encounter' to another, and from happiness to loneliness and bitterness - until she finally finds peace.




 
Anastasia Volochkova will be joined by dancers:

Mark Peretokin (Bolshoi)
Yevgeny Ivanchenko (Kirov)
Rinat Arifulin (Bolshoi)
Yuliana Malkhasyants (Bolshoi).

They will be accompanied by the Russian Orchestra of London, conducted by Alexander Walker.

Barbican Centre, London


Programme

Haydn Symphony No.91
Strauss Don Juan
Dvorak Cello Concerto

This is a special concert given by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in support of The Life Line Programme in Russia. Haydn's taut and inventive style reached its zenith in his later symphonies, works unsurpassed in quality by any later composer. This Symphony in E flat was one of the works Haydn presented in England in the late 1790s. The tone poem Don Juan brought the 20-year-old Richard Strauss international and lasting success. Strauss took as his inspiration the unfinished play by Nikolaus Lenau, which charts the lover's heroic decline from transient sexual abandon to his downfall; the musical depiction literally explodes with orchestral virtuosity and original effects. Dvorak's symphonic Cello Concerto, written at the end of the composer's final visit to the USA, unites New World themes with Slavonic pathos while exploring the whole range of the instrument.

Night Watch: Nochnoi Dozor

In Russian with English subtitles.

"Just after we've lived through Lord of the Rings and we can't even imagine another movie spellbinding us, along comes Timur Bekmambetov's fantasy masterpiece. Like Ridley Scott, Timur is an astonishing visionary and NIGHTWATCH is an epic of extraordinary power." Quentin Tarantino



  An award-winning Film by Timur Bekmambetov
with Valery Zolotukhin, Vladimir Menshov, Konstantin Khabensky, Maria Poroshina and Rimma Markova. Based on the novel by Sergey Lukianenko. Presented by Fox Searchlight Pictures in Association with Channel One Russia.

NIGHT WATCH: NOCHNOI DOZOR is the most successful film of all time in Russia. This stylish horror fantasy has revolutionized post-Soviet cinema with a dazzling mix of state-of-the-art visual effects and nail-biting terror. An ancient other-world battle is being fought in contemporary Moscow…
