Cipollino, one of the best ballets for children and their parents, returns to the NOVAT stage in a new version!
The witty plot, based on the famous fairy-tale by Gianni Rodari, takes the viewer on an exciting adventure in the company of the onion boy and his friends. The heroes will be able to resist Prince Lemon and Signor Tomato, protect the weak and instill in the hearts faith in true friendship, kindness and justice.
Your favourite fairy-tale will sparkle with new colours, thanks to the bright scenery and costumes of the outstanding theatre artist Valery Levental. He has designed more than 200 performances around the world, and today many of his works are in the collections of the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, the Museum of Musical and Theatrical Art in St. Petersburg, the A.A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum and in private collections.
The Cipollino ballet will captivate viewers of all ages with its fun music, complex choreography and fabulous scenery — and will be a great reason for a family trip to the theatre!
