“One of the world’s supreme ballet companies” — The New York Times Every season, ballet aficionados — not just in Washington, but all over the U.S. — wait with bated breath for the legendary Mariinsky to make its way back to our Opera House. Marking its 18th consecutive season performing with us, this “crown jewel” company opens the new season with a ballet event of the highest order, even for Mariinsky standards. Most famous for its Act III “Grand Pas” wedding scene, Paquita is a glittering showcase of classical technique, dazzling tutus, and non-stop virtuosic turns. This 19th-century treasure is rarely performed in its entirety and, after treating our audiences to the Grand Pas in 2016, the company now brings the U.S. premiere of its lavish new full production.

The Mariinsky’s Paquita shows why the company’s stars remain at the pinnacle of the art form, continuing to dance the Grand Pas like no one else.
