Ivan Vasiliev’s Farewell Performance

Presented by M Premiere and Alexandrite World (MOST Co.,Ltd)
On May 30, Dubai Opera will host one of the most anticipated cultural events of the year — the Alexandrite Gala, an international ballet evening centered around the farewell performance of legendary dancer Ivan Vasiliev. Recognized as one of the most powerful and influential figures in modern ballet history, Vasiliev’s final appearance on stage marks the closing chapter of a remarkable artistic journey that has shaped the global ballet scene.
This prestigious gala will bring together principal dancers from world-renowned companies, including Bolshoi Theatre and La Scala Theatre Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet and Dutch Nationale Ballet, alongside outstanding artists from Russia. The evening’s program will feature celebrated classical masterpieces, highlighting technical brilliance, emotional depth, and the timeless elegance of ballet traditions from around the world.
More than a performance, the Alexandrite Gala stands as a tribute to an extraordinary artist and a defining cultural moment for Dubai, reinforcing the city’s role as a global meeting point for art, creativity, and international dialogue.
Adding a special layer of intrigue, the evening will present an unexpected artistic fusion — where classical ballet meets the electrifying energy of a stadium-scale spectacle in a unique tribute inspired by the era of Freddie Mercury and the legendary band Queen.
Please note: This performance is a venue hire presented by a third-party promoter (M Premiere) and Alexandrite World (MOST Co.,Ltd) and is not produced or presented by Dubai Opera.
