Mariinsky Ballet: Paquita


  • The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street, NW Washington, DC 20566 (map)

Performances: Oct 8-12 @7:30pm; Oct 12-13, 1:30pm

Most famous for its Act III “Grand Pas” wedding scene, Paquita is a glittering showcase of classical technique, dazzling tutus, and non-stop virtuosic turns. This 19th-century treasure is rarely performed in its entirety and, after treating our audiences to the Grand Pas in 2016, the company now brings the U.S. premiere of its lavish new full production.
