New ballets to music not intended for the theatre were staged by four choreographers. Maxim Petrov is a dancer and choreographer of the Mariinsky Theatre, winner of the Golden Mask 2021. Andrei Kaydanovsky lives in Austria; in recent years he has released several high-profile premieres in Moscow. Maksim Sevagin is a soloist and choreographer of MAMT. Vyacheslav Samodurov needs no introduction.

The musical director of the production is Alexey Goribol, pianist and producer, a regular performer of Desyatnikov’s music. The Ural Opera choir takes part in the performance.

About

The initials of the composer Leonid Arkadyevich Desyatnikov, included in the title, successfully reflect the idea of the initial dedication of the project to the 65th anniversary of the composer. But even outside of any anniversary L.A.D. is an excellent marker of a collection of Desyatnikov’s “concert pieces”, done to four people of varying degrees of eminence for the choreographic “portrayal” of the chamber, cinematic and even choral heritage of the living classic.
