Scheduled for: October 8-30, 2024
United States
For the first time in over 30 years, the National Ballet of Ukraine, one of the world’s leading ballet companies, will be performing in the United States. Straight from the renowned Taras Shevchenko National Opera House in Kyiv, these world-class dancers will captivate audiences with a breathtaking program that includes timeless masterpieces like “The Dying Swan,” “Don Quixote,” and “Giselle.” Through graceful movements and powerful storytelling, this performance beautifully portrays themes of love, loss, and triumph.
Joining them on this historic tour are the spectacular Ukrainian Shumka Dancers. Known for their athletic choreography, vibrant traditional costumes, and electrifying energy, Shumka’s performances bring beloved Ukrainian folk dances to life, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Ukraine.
In a groundbreaking fusion of dance and technology, this extraordinary production features a massive 3D LED screen that transports the audience directly into the heart of the performance, creating an immersive experience like never before. This stunning visual backdrop will enhance the beauty and spirit of Ukraine, as the dancers move in perfect harmony, symbolizing the resilience and strength of the Ukrainian people.
This tour also carries a deeper mission: to support Ukraine as it bravely faces the ongoing conflict with Russia. A portion of the tour’s proceeds will go to HUMANITE and Ukraine House, organizations dedicated to assisting Ukrainian families affected by the war.
Don’t miss this unforgettable night of passion, hope, and the unwavering spirit of Ukraine. Join us and witness the National Ballet of Ukraine and Shumka Dancers as they bring their extraordinary talent and heart to the stage.
