Don Giovanni

The Punished Debauchee (Corruptor) or Don Giovanni; this is the original title of Mozart's opera; perhaps the most perfect embodiment of the European myth of the ultimate lover, whose eternal death flows into eternal presence.

The Producers

They chose the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast... Where did they succeed?
Bialystock and Bloom!

Prokofiev

Romeo and Juliet

"Romeo and Juliet" is undoubtedly one of the most popular and enduring tragic love stories of all time. Inspired by William Shakespeare's immortal tragedy, Sergei Prokofiev's ballet tells the story of two young lovers who dream of a life filled with unbridled passion and fiery love in a bold and brutal era, where questions of life and death are often resolved irrationally, in an atmosphere charged with intense emotions.

Madama Butterfly

The 1920s. A fifteen-year-old girl from Japan dreams of a world filled with "love and freedom"—a world where a woman is happy, loved, and loving, dressed in silk dresses, with modern hairstyles and pearls, with rights, freedom, and the choice to be rich, independent, modern. This world is called America, and the girl's dream is the "American Dream."
