"Shopeniana" - one-act ballet to the music of F.Shopen’s.
Choreography and the libretto of M.Fokin’s.

In 1906 the outstanding Russian dancer and choreographer Mikhail Fokin planned setting the ballet, which radically breaks academic traditions. "Shopeniana" - elegant stylization on the romantic theme and at the same time - the musical- choreographic generalization of romanticism with his eternal conflict between the dream and the reality, the illusoriness of dream, the elusiveness of ideal. "Shopeniana" in setting of Yuri Petukhov - recreation of play in his protoplastic form.

"Italian kaprichchio" - one-act ballet to the music of P.Chaykovsky’s.
Choreography of Y.Petukhov’s.
Artist on the suits and the decorations - Ye.Rapay.

Kaprichchio (capriccio) in the transfer from the Italian indicates whim. Whims, happiness, merriment and passions reign on the Venetian carnival. Emotionally saturated music and expressive choreography of ballet personifies the magic, holiday atmosphere of Italy.
