This ballet was Petipa’s Russian debut as a dancer and a choreographer 170 years ago. Of its three acts only the last scene, the famous Grand Pas, remained a repertoire piece.
The Ekaterinburg production will use the original libretto of Paquita, and choreography will be reconstructed after the notations kept in the Harvard Theatre Collection. However,
the choreographers Sergei Vikharev and Vyacheslav Samodurov and the curator Pavel Gershenzon will place the 1881 choreography within a new staging: a collision of an old-time libretto is reconsidered from the point of view of the 20th century cultural experience.
The arrangement of the original score by Deldevez and Minkus was commissioned from the famous Russian composer Yuri Krasavin.

PAQUITA. Grand pas classique

The ballet marked Petipa’s debut as a dancer and a choreographer in St. Petersburg. But only the last scene of the original three act ballet, the famous Grand pas classique, representing the dances at the wedding of the main characters, remained in the repertoire of ballet companies. Until recently it was part of the Ural Ballet repertoire as well. Nowadays the theatre has returned to the original three act version.

The new production uses the original libretto of Paquita, with a French officer Lucien and a gipsy girl Paquita, who finds out about her noble birth in the finale. The choreography of 1881 was reconstructed according to the notations kept in the Harvard Theatre Collection. However, it has been updated: the original libretto collision was reconsidered through the eyes of today's 20th century cultural experience. The original score was rearranged by the famous St. Petersburg composer, Yuri Krasavin.
