Repertoire

The Russian State Ballet of Siberia began touring the UK in 2002. [2] [3] They were in the midst of their 20th anniversary UK tour on February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine; consequently many performances were cancelled. [4] [5] As of 2024 they have not returned to the UK due to the ongoing war. Their repertoire included Coppélia, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella and Giselle. [6] [7]
