Friday 23/08/2019
RUSSIA & MALAYSIA DECLARES 11-13 OCT 2019 AS A WEEKEND FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BALLET PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL, CELEBRATING THE ASIAN WORLD PREMIERE OF 'THE SLEEPING BEAUTY'
YB Datuk Isham Ishak, Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) will be announcing its first ever major landmark international ballet performing arts festival weekend in Malaysia with The Dance Company (TDC) to promote Malaysia worldwide. In preparation for the Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020, the legendary and world-renowned ballet troupe, St Petersburg Theatre Russian Ballet have just agreed on a three (3) year extended agreement to support Malaysia and to premiere at least three (3) feature major performances in Malaysia.

The Sleeping Beauty in Malaysia continues the long and great tradition of Russian classical ballet from what most would consider of being the Russian ballet’s golden age and will be performed in its most original choreography. The company tours 250 sold-out performances annually, in over 130 cities including those of Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, China and the USA to over 1 million audiences.
