The Bardavon is pleased to present at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston, the Moscow Festival Ballet in The Sleeping Beauty on Thursday, April 5 at 7:30pm. Often considered the finest achievement of the Classical ballet, based on Charles Perrault’s beloved fairy tale, it all comes down with music by Tchiakovsky amid lush settings. The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Radchenko sought to realize his vision of a company which would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classic ballet. Leading dancers from across Russia have come together under Radchenko’s direction to form an exciting new company staging new productions of timeless classics such as Giselle, Don Quixote, Carmen and Sleeping Beauty. Tickets for the performance may be purchased at the UPAC Box Office, (845) 339-6088 at 601 Broadway in Kingston, the Bardavon Box Office, (845) 473-2072 at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie and through Ticketmaster, (845) 454-3388 or www.ticketmaster.com For further information, please visit: www.bardavon.org or www.upac.org.
