Overview

Presented across multiple seasons at the London Coliseum, Russian Seasons of the XXI Century celebrated the legacy of Sergei Diaghilev and the revolutionary artistic vision of the Ballets Russes. Led by Andris Liepa, the festival brought landmark works such as The Firebird, Scheherazade, Petrushka and L’Après-midi d’un faune back to the stage through large-scale revivals and re-stagings.

What We Did

We co-produced and delivered the London seasons at the Coliseum, overseeing the presentation of a major international dance festival within one of the capital’s leading theatres. Our role included coordinating company logistics, production planning, venue relations, marketing, PR and audience development, helping position the festival as a significant event within London’s cultural calendar and reintroducing historic repertoire to contemporary audiences.
