Ballerina is a 2006 documentary film that follows the training sessions, rehearsals, and everyday lives of five Russian ballerinas at different stages in their career.

As a strange plague tightens its grip on an isolated rural village, a young woman’s contact with the outside world breeds unrest among superstitious townspeople.

A man emerges from the sea with no memory and discovers his own missing-person posters. He tries to reconnect with the life he left behind.

The ballet of the National Opera of Ukraine stands for ballet artistry at the highest level. The company has become a cultural ambassador for Ukraine. The ensemble presents this unique, daring performance at the National Opera in Kyiv. The centerpiece of the evening is Wartime Elegy by Alexei Ratmansky, one of the most important choreographers of our time.

On Christmas Eve, a young girl has a dream... Emotional awakening, physical transformation, childhood that slowly merges into adulthood... behind what seems to be a tale for children slowly emerges a danced initiatory journey. And while children revel in Drosselmeyer's magic tricks and enjoy a good scare with the apparition of the Mouse King, the adults notice all the finesse that pervades this narrative and admire the virtuosity of the choreography.

Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, a ballet in three acts, is present by the Ballet Company of the National Opera of Ukraine, with music provided by the Orchestra of the National Opera of Ukraine, conducted by Mykola Dyadura
