In February last year, the celebrated Kyiv City Ballet embarked on a much anticipated tour of France. Just a day later Russia invaded, leaving the company stranded and unable to return home. Over a year on, the war still rages and these exceptional dancers remain in exile. With extraordinary resilience, the company has gone from strength to strength, and we are privileged to be welcoming this incredible group of artists to Bath for two gala performances on their fi rst ever tour of the UK. A varied programme of excerpts from some of their favourite ballets including Swan Lake, Giselle, La Bayadere, La Corsaire and more, this promises to be a unique occasion and a chance to show your support for the people of Ukraine. All profi ts from the performances go to charity
