World Ballet Stars Gala

One of the biggest stars on the international ballet stage, Russian prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova of the Bolshoi Ballet, will perform in Shanghai for the first time at a gala evening this August.

The gala show, titled "Baiser Vole," is the season-closing performance at Shanghai Grand Theatre. German choreographer Patrick de Bana, who created the original contemporary production "Jane Eyre" for the Shanghai Ballet, invited his friends to Shanghai and is the man behind the gala show.

Zakharova, born in Lutsk, Ukraine, in 1979, was trained at the Kiev Choreographic School and Vaganova Ballet Academy. At the age of 17, she joined the renowned Mariinsky Ballet in St. Petersburg and was promoted to principal dancer a year later.

The gala show will also feature other international stars including Friedemann Vogel and Maria Eichwald (principal dancers of Stuttgart Ballet), Ketevan Papava (soloist with Vienna State Ballet), Anna Tsygankova (principal with Dutch National Ballet), Matthew Golding (principal with Royal Ballet) as well as Shanghai Ballet principals Fan Xiaofeng and Wu Husheng.
