Raymonda is a work from the golden age of Russian ballet now rarely performed in full. One of the last creations of the towering choreographer Marius Petipa, the three-act ballet premiered in St. Petersburg in 1898 set to a score by Russian Romantic composer Alexander Glazunov. Petipa’s ballet was revised in 1948 by Konstantin Sergeyev into the version the Mariinsky now performs. The star of the show is Raymonda, a medieval noblewoman torn between suitors. Following on a dream sequence, visits from a ghostly White Lady, and a duel to the death, the xenophobic storyline resolves in its third act into the Hungarian-style celebratory dances that make up the famous and oft-excerpted “Grand Pas Classique Hongrois.” Read more >>> The performance begins at 7 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Opera House, 2700 F St. NW. $49–225.
