The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes the Moscow Festival Ballet at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1, as part of the Charles Vanda Master Series. The company's performance of the timeless love story Cinderella is a perfect way to start the month of romance.
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 that 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 the former Soviet Union have forged, under Radchenko's direction, an exciting new company staging new productions of timeless classics such as Giselle, Don Quixote, Paquita and Carmen.
Since its inception, the Moscow Festival Ballet has completed two tours of Europe, with extraordinary receptions in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands.
