The Fairy Doll, 2017

On tour in London at the Coliseum the Vaganova Ballet Academy performed part of "The Fairy Doll" ballet.
The Vaganova Ballet Academy has presented a dance suite from 'The Fairy Doll' by Josef Bayer that was intended as a present for the Hermitage Theatre's 230th birthday.
The Fairy Doll was staged there in 1903 by the graduates of the Imperial Theatre School - Nikolas and Serge Legat. Later on, the ballet was transferred to the Mariinsky stage and remained on repertoire till 1925. Later on, in 1932, The Fairy Doll was renewed by Vladimir Ponomoriev for the Leningrad Choreographic College, however just a few performances have been given. In 1989, Konstantin Sergeyev prepared his own version of the ballet having returned it to the Kirov (Mariinsky) stage as VBA school performance.
