June 2, 7:00 PM - Evening of one-act ballets "Women in D Minor" and "The Long Christmas Dinner"
Kyiv Opera on Podol (2 Mezhyhirska St.)
The first summer evening of the repertoire will be dedicated to modern choreography performed by the Kyiv Modern Ballet Theater. The program includes two one-act ballets: "Women in D Minor" to the music of J.S. Bach, Concerto No. 1 for Piano and Orchestra/D Minor about the complex and multi-voiced female world with its rivalry and envy, and "The Long Christmas Dinner" - a ballet-chronicle about the flow of time, where years and generations pass at one family table: births, meetings, conversations, losses, everyday joys and imperceptible farewells.

June 11, 7:00 PM - Evening of one-act ballets "Bolero" and "Rain"
Kyiv Opera on Podil (2 Mezhyhirska St.)
The second summer evening combines two one-act ballets "Bolero" and "Rain" - two performances with different internal tension, but with an equally strong emotional impact. "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel in a bold interpretation by Radu Poklitaru about the Sisyphean struggle of the individual with the crowd, and "Rain" - a philosophical choreographic suite about the fate of people involuntarily united by one time and space, where ethnic music and the works of Johann Sebastian Bach sound like the voices of different cultures united by common values.

At the end of June, the theater will present the funniest ballet in the repertoire – the ballet-comedy of positions “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” to the music of J. Strauss. In the ballet Radu Poklitaru, the music of Johann Strauss acquires a vivid stage embodiment in a story full of love intrigues, disguises, games and a brilliant mood. This is a performance that gives a holiday and easily makes you fall in love with yourself at first sight.

July 5, 6:30 PM – two-act ballet “La Traviata”
MCCM (Alley of Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, 1)
La Traviata directed by Radu Poklitaru is, first of all, a performance imbued with immense love for the great original source, the opera of the same name by Giuseppe Verdi. Infused with the beauty of Italian bel canto, the story of Violetta’s tragic love and death appears as a hymn to self-sacrifice, devotion and resilience – qualities that only a Woman is capable of.
