National Theatres in Sarajevo and Serbia present ballet performances

The National Theatre Sarajevo will perform the ballet “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” on October 29 to mark World Ballet Day. Choreographed and directed by Amalia Mindrutiu, the production is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale and features music by composers including Dmitri Shostakovich and Jules Massenet. The performance aims to appeal to all generations through classical dance and characterization driven by movement and gesture.

Meanwhile, the Ballet of the Serbian National Theatre has completed a series of successful guest performances in Italy throughout October. The ensemble received high praise for two distinct productions: “Autumn,” choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, which earned a five-star review at the Visavi Festival in Gorica, and “Somewhere Beyond the Planets” by Anabel Lopez Ochoa, performed in Bassano del Grappa and Bologna. Critics highlighted the ensemble's technical precision, physical demandingness, and the artistic direction of director Aja Jung.
