OREANDA-NEWS. January 14, 2011. In 2011, VTB will continue to cooperate with the Bolshoi Theatre. The Bank will support Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty ballet premiere (choreography by Marius Petipa, choreographic version by Yuri Grigorovich, stage design by Enzo Frigerio). The season's main premiere is scheduled for 6 October 2011. The Sleeping Beauty will introduce a new stage in Bolshoi's life: this ballet will become the first premiere in the historic building of the theatre after the renovation.
