From Russia, one of the world’s finest contemporary ballet companies will present a visual feast of passion, entertainment and drama.

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 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.
