The renowned Novosibirsk Ballet captivates audiences with their powerful rendition of “Spartacus,” featuring 120 artists skilfully portraying the gladiator’s tale through Yuri Grigorovich’s dynamic choreography.

Follow Spartacus, our inspiring protagonist, through his conflicts with the inhuman Craccus, his love story with Phyrgia, his embrace of his ultimate destiny.
