The Fountain of Bakhchisarai at the Opera House for the first time
A tale of love, jealousy, and lost happiness is brought to life by the Hungarian National Ballet in their autumn performances of The Fountain of Bakhchisarai. Based on Alexander Pushkin’s poem and set to music by Boris Asafyev, the ballet is performed at the Opera House for the first time after featuring in the programme of the Erkel Theatre for more than seven decades. The ten performances run from 29 October to 15 November 2026. The company presents Rostislav Zakharov’s choreography in a staging by Daria Pavlenko, former prima ballerina of the Mariinsky Ballet in St Petersburg.
