On March 10, Australia began a big tour of the already familiar Australian audience of the famous Moscow Ballet Theater of classical choreography La Classique conducted by Elik Melikov. This time we have a great opportunity to become eyewitnesses of a real ballet celebration. The very music of the great Tchaikovsky and the amazing choreography of Petipa will help the audience immerse themselves in this fabulous Magic world"Swan Lake". What is even more striking about the La Classique production is the unsurpassed costumes and scenery. Read about the history of the theater and its tour of Australia in an interview with Russian Radio Australia with Elik Melikov, the founder and leader of the troupe.

Elik, in preparation for the conversation, I found out that you are a certified artist, member International Union artists. And you started by participating in the creation theatrical costumes. If I understood correctly, then you worked at the Bolshoi Theater then?

No, not really. I have two educations. I danced and finished more art school. In the late 80s, I had the idea to create a cooperative. Then they were just getting started. And so I created a cooperative for the creation of theatrical costumes. There were many fears, the time was hard ... We made one-off costumes, then we started making shoes and scenery. At first there was an order from one theater, then from another, a third ... and so it went.

- And how did it happen that you came from the workshops to ballet? After all, you were the founder of your theatre.

Our theater is state. It was created (in 1990, Ed.) with the participation of the Union of Theater Workers and its organizations helped a lot famous people of this Union, helped us with their experience and, of course, connections. We have selected artists from major theaters Kyiv, Tbilisi, Odessa, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Saratov and other Russian cities. At that time, it was difficult with finances, and we had to help ourselves in this, the cooperative "Theatre Workshops" at that time already existed at the theater. The theater team began touring both in Russia and abroad.

-Your theater is the only Moscow theater that deals only with ballet classics.

This is true. We are close to Russian classics. We dance it with pleasure.

Don't you think that in today's world of speeds, in order to attract young people, maybe you should turn to modernity?

We have an excellent troupe that can dance modern as well, but classical is closer and more important to us. The repertoire of our theater includes "Swan Lake", "The Nutcracker", "Sleeping Beauty", "Romeo and Juliet", "Don Quixote", "Giselle". I think we will not take on modern. I would like to do my own thing.

Do you yourself take part in the creation of performances, or do you have to deal more with administrative activities?

As an artist, I sometimes participate in the creation of new scenery or costumes ... But, basically, I have to deal with management, as well as artists and teachers. Performances are staged by choreographers. We have a lot of guest choreographers. For example, the ballet Don Quixote was staged by a guest choreographer from Belgium.

Your theater tours a lot. You have been to Italy and Great Britain, Poland and Germany, France and New Zealand. And your forthcoming tour in Australia is the fourth in a row.

Yes, our team has traveled to a large number of countries and cities, and we are extremely happy about this. For the first time we came to Australia with the stars Bolshoi Theater. And our independent tour in this country will be the third.

- And this time you are bringing Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake", choreographed by Petipa...

Yes, we bring the full ballet. We try not to break away from the origins. A happy stage life was given to "Swan Lake" by the famous Marius Petipa and his assistant Lev Ivanov, together with Tchaikovsky in 1895.

The Nutcracker in the theater of classical choreography La Classique
It's quite appropriate to see winter fairy tale in summer.
Refreshes.
But a slight sadness suddenly - why is it not Christmas now - comes for a minute, and leaves as soon as the familiar sounds of Pyotr Ilyich's music are heard.
And then you think - Oh! Without a lively, even if of the most average quality, orchestra, one cannot expect perfection from a performance.
But! But you can see every detail. ballet performance. And it's amazing and amazing.
Never will unearthly ballet people be so visible through the space of the orchestra pit.
The very pit in which the musicians so wonderfully swarm and tune their instruments, from which the conductor’s hair or bald head is visible - it’s just a watershed, a Rubicon and a pass for sight, thirsting for beauty, and consolation for hearing.
So, let's open our eyes, because the fairy tale is nearby.
Masha and the Prince - as always - are beautiful. They are beautiful, graceful, dexterous, in their batmans - kindness, in support - humanism, and in fouette - love energy.
But Mice is, of course, a separate song and, I must say, an outstanding dance. You can't take your eyes off the strange sight. Funny.
Very homely dance scene children's holiday. Guests are shown staggering away from a party in a hospitable house. What is the choreographer hinting at here - maybe they are tired of dancing, or have they been eating so much?
Choreography, by the way, by V. Kovtun (according to Marius Petipa; in the sense, pushing off with one oar from M. Petipa, but spinning further in his own way, immediately after the repulsion)
There was no Pellet Fairy dance. No ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, tata tata ta.
But there are enough other fairies. But Mice in this performance are cooler than fairies and toys. Remembered.
Jumps and tails.
So, the child agrees to continue acquaintance with the world of ballet.

I have been familiar with the ballet theater of classical choreography “LaClassique” for a long time))), this time with great pleasure I looked into Swan Lake according to the scenario of Vladimir Begichev and Vasily Geltser in the choreography of Marius Petipa.

An indisputable fact 🤗 Swan Lake is a great introduction to the world of ballet for all time! This wonderful choreographic love story will be revealed to any viewer, regardless of age.
💃
The language of dance will tell about sad story Princess Odette ... On the proposal to become the wife of the evil wizard Rothbart, beautiful girl refused. In anger, Rothbart casts a spell on her. And now Odette turns into a swan during the day, and only at night can she take on a human form. Only the sincere love of a young man can break the evil spell - Prince Siegfried will learn the terrible secret of Odette and he will swear to love her forever. The evil sorcerer will direct all the elements of nature against Odette and Siegfried. But two lovers are not afraid of thunder and lightning, the storm will not scare them. The prince will win... and the evil spell will no longer hold sway over Odette and the other girls.

The work teaches that love and fidelity can defeat everything, even the greatest evil and deceit!
The narration is light and tender, and at the same time immersed in a storm of passions: decline and depression, hope, faith and, of course, love!
You can feel the whole gamut of emotions

A distinctive feature of the La Classique theater is its beautiful costumes and scenery. Beautiful and classically depicted, you enter a castle, forest or lake with simple additions or changes in lighting. Costumes clearly distinguish between good and bad, it helps to remember and recognize who is present on the stage. This is a great merit artistic director- Elika Melikova (artist and designer by education). He was one of the first in the country to found a theater workshop, creating scenery, costumes and shoes for famous theaters.
💌
Undoubtedly, all the ballet dancers evoked only a feeling of admiration - what a refined accuracy in performance. In this ballet, perfect synchronization is necessary, especially in the white act, and the artists successfully cope with the task.
Separately, I would like to say a few words about Diana Eremeeva - her dance is a joy to the eyes! There is a feeling that she does not just dance to the music, but lives with it. Bravo!
🔸️
The theater troupe often tours, and the residents of Svetlogorsk have a great opportunity to see Swan Lake on June 11, 2019, accompanied by the Kaliningrad Symphony Orchestra. Do not miss!
But Swan Lake will return to Moscow only in August :(
