Svetlana Zakharova, internationally renowned ballerina and the Bolshoi’s prima returns to Dubai Opera on 15 January 2025 with a one-night performance only – MODANSE, a double bill produced by MuzArts. A towering figure in the 21st-century ballet will be joined onstage by a star-studded cast of dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet.

The night will open with a ballet Come Un Respiro (Like a Breath) by Italian choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti created specifically for Svetlana Zakharova. The musical basis of the performance was formed by various pieces by George Frederic Handel. Incidentally, the Baroque period is present not only in the music but also in dance choreography emphasized by stylish and daring costumes designed exclusively for the ballet by Helena de Medeiros.

The second part of the performance will feature a tribute to Gabrielle Chanel, the legendary couturier and the founder of CHANEL Fashion House. Ballet Gabrielle Chanel is a collaboration by choreographer Yury Possokhov and composer Ilya Demutsky with Alexei Frandetti who created the libretto and acted as director.

CHANEL’s Fashion studio under the impetus of Virginie Viard's Artistic Direction has designed more than 85 costumes specifically for Gabrielle Chanel's ballet.

The performance narrates Chanel’s journey that has forever overturned the world of the 20th-century fashion. Chanel was inspired by dance, as a movement and a metaphor of freedom, as a language and an expression of beauty.

The event is organized by M Premiere and MuzArts.

 

Svetlana Zakharova on her role as Gabrielle Chanel:

“The first transformation took place before the photo session when I had my makeup and hair done like hers and I put on her costume and saw ‘Chanel’ in the mirror. I had already done a lot of research, reading biographies, watching films about Chanel’s life, and even visited her apartment in Paris where her collections of jewelry, costumes, shoes, and perfumes are kept.  My task now is to inhabit her character and to dance her image with all her emotions and experiences as I feel it.”
