National Ballet of Ukraine

Experience the magic of the National Ballet of Ukraine, one of the world’s top ballet companies and the country’s official ballet company, during their first tour of the United States in more than 30 years. Straight from the historic Kyiv National Opera House, these world-class dancers will captivate you with a stunning program featuring timeless classics, including "The Dying Swan," "Don Quixote" and "Giselle." The program tells stories of love, loss and triumph, leaving you mesmerized by the company’s unparalleled grace and strength. Prepare to be swept away as the dancers defy gravity, their bodies soaring high above the stage with movements filled with intensity, emotion and harmony

The spectacular Ukrainian Shumka Dancers are joining the tour, thrilling audiences with their powerful traditional music, jaw-droppingly athletic choreography and colorful historic costumes. Shumka bring beloved folk dances to life with an energy and vibrancy that pulses through the theater, earning them a worldwide reputation as one of the finest Ukrainian folk ensembles.

In a breathtaking fusion of dance and technology, the 44 incredible artists perform in front of a massive, cutting-edge 3D LED screen with groundbreaking technology that makes the audience feel as if they are traveling onto the stage and becoming one with the spectacular scenery. This revolutionary show brings the beauty and spirit of Ukraine to life. It’s a celebration of Ukrainian culture and resilience, where each leap, spin and lift symbolizes the indomitable spirit of a nation.

The tour also serves a greater purpose: supporting the war-torn nation of Ukraine as it courageously faces the ongoing Russian invasion. Portions of the proceeds from the tour — from ticket purchases, merchandise and individual donations — will benefit HUMANITE, an organization dedicated to restoring and improving the lives of Ukrainian families affected by the war.

Join us for a night of passion, hope and the tireless spirit of Ukraine as the National Ballet of Ukraine and Shumka Dancers bring their extraordinary talent and heart to the stage. Let their artistry lift your spirit, inspire your soul and remind you of the power of art in the face of adversity.
