Repertoire
Walpurgis Night (Divertimento)
The choreographic reworking of the fifth act of the opera Faust performed by Lavrovsky recreates the Bacchanal of Mephistopheles and combines figures of the most demanding classical technique with a sensuality that anticipates some of the main trends of modern choreography.
