From Bolshoi: Sergei Radchenko - once a principal dancer for the Bolshoi Ballet - founded the Moscow Festival Ballet back in 1989. His goal was simple: to use the classical elements of the Bolshoi and Kirov ballet companies in an independent new company.
Famous titles: The troupe brings new energy to such familiar tales as "Giselle," "Don Quixote" and - as on the current U.S. tour - "Sleeping Beauty."
The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming: The Moscow Festival Ballet has toured the U.S. throughout its history, with stints in 1997, 2001, 2004 and 2006. The current tour will run four months and go coast-to-coast - with a stop Saturday at the Garde Arts Center in New London.
