The next season of transmission and retransmission of ballet performances from the Moscow stage will begin on 11 November 2018 with La Sylphide. Following the previous seasons, the program will feature, next to the great classical ballets, 20th-century works and one premiere prepared especially for the ballet company of the Bolshoi Theater.

The 2018/2019 season of the "Bolshoi Ballet Live" series will start with the broadcast of La Sylphide – the first romantic ballet, thanks to which the ethereal phantoms and fairies began to reign on the dance stage, and the dancers started to dance on the tips of their fingers. La Sylphide will be shown in the version choreographed by Auguste Bournonville and staged by Johan Kobborg.

As usual, among the seven presented titles, we will see stagings of the great nineteenth-century classical ballets, which the Bolshoi Theater is famous for and which are rightly praised. They will be: oriental La Bayadère with the famous Shadow scene, Sleeping Beauty in a very spectacular and visually rich staging and of course the Christmas Nutcracker, this time live and in a new cast. The reckless and full of temperament Don Quixote with Yekaterina Krysanova and Semyon Chudin will also be repeated. The twentieth century will be represented by The Golden Age ballet by Yuri Grigorovich broadcasted a year ago with the excellent music of Dmitry Shostakovich.The season will end with a ballet evening, which will consist of two one-act works: Carmen-Suite and Petrushka.
