Eifman Ballet | Opening Night SYDNEY | Anna Karenina
“Boris Eifman - An amazing magician of the theatre” - New York Post
Eifman Ballet, who tour the world constantly to packed houses and have critics around the world reaching for superlatives, will make its Australian debut in August with two of its most acclaimed productions – Anna Karenina and Tchaikovsky - for a strictly limited season in both Sydney and Melbourne.
At the helm of the Eifman phenomena is Russian choreographer Boris Eifman, a master of psychological ballet, a choreographer-philosopher concerned with the problems of the modern world.
Boris Eifman is considered the face of modern Russian ballet. The esteemed New York critic Anna Kisselgoff wrote of Eifman - “The ballet world in search of a major choreographer need search no more. He is Boris Eifman.”
Boris Eifman’s 50 strong company will thrill Australian audiences with his powerful and emotional interpretations of these classic pieces. His dancers are classically trained, world class, statuesque and powerful, the likes of which have never been seen before in this country. Eifman’s repertoire has helped create a special type of artist, combining dance, acting, brilliant technique, and a gift for transformation.
Eifman Ballet followers are extremely wide ranging, not only dance devotees but those keen to explore Eifman's fascination with exploring secrets of life. The exquisite complexity of Eifman Ballet, and the power, energy and excitement of its dancers, will touch even the most seasoned ballet lovers.
