Mon 10 September & Virsky National Dance Company, Ukraine
Tues 11 September
With more than 60 amazing dancers on stage, this ensemble has been a living and dancing treasury of Ukrainian life, history, customs, rites and legends since 1937.
They have performed in nearly 70 countries and been awarded the Honorable Diploma of the World Peace Council and Friendship of Nations Order.
“The brilliant performers of the ensemble are matchless. The Ukrainian Dance Ensemble is the most dynamic and thrilling folk dance ensemble the world has ever witnessed…”
The New York Times
“Here before us is a great, consummate folk performance that one gets a chance to see only once in a decade or two. The ladies are beauties, the gentlemen are athletic, and they blend into a uniform ensemble as the best and most perfect ballet group that can only be compared with the Paris Grand Opera Ballet. If there is a performance that you must see by all means, it is the National Ballet of Ukraine.”
Le Figaro Paris
“It is impossible to put it all on paper, for the human race has not yet invented such words of admiration and delight. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!”
