About Kyiv City Ballet – A Tribute to Peace
February 2022 saw the esteemed Kyiv City Ballet travel to France to embark on a national tour. The next day Russia invaded and left the company trapped and unable to return home.
The war continues and the celebrated dancers remain in exile. However, this has not defeated them, as they have extraordinary resilience. The company has gone from strength to strength, training daily, conceiving new programmes, reprising classic works and thrilling those able to see them.
This incredibly talented group of artists come to the Peacock Theatre for their first ever London performances. The company presents a varied programme of excerpts from some of their favourite pieces including Les Sylphides, a fragment from the ballet Tribute to Peace (choreographed by Ivan Kozlov), Carmen, Sirtaki, and Men of Kyiv (a Ukrainian folk dance). This special evening of ballet will give you a unique occasion to show support for the people of Ukraine.
About the Kyiv City Ballet
The Kyiv City Ballet was founded in 2012 by Ivan Kozlov, the company's current General Director. In the 10 years since its founding, the Kyiv City Ballet has grown to include 40 dancers, performed on four continents, and built a reputation as Ukraine's finest ballet company.
Currently the Kyiv City Ballet, Ukraine's premier ballet company, is on tour as they are unable to return home. They are performing some of the world's most classic and beloved ballets (Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Romeo & Juliet) to more modern ballets.

Good show and good value too
The ballet was superb and earned a well deserved standing ovation. However, we missed some of the first act because I thought it was taking place at Sadlers Wells theatre. Minutes before curtain up other people claimed the same seats as us and we then discovered we should have been at Peacock theatre. We were joined by 3 other couples with the same problem and it was obvious that many others had already left before us to walk or get a bus to the other theatre. We all had to get taxis and arrived after the performance started. We spoke to Chinese people in the row in front of us and stood beside a Ukrainian couple in the foyer waiting for an interval to take our seats and a couple from London. Apart from the added expense of a taxi we were very disappointed to miss some of the performance. Obviously many others had been misled too, and the staff at Sadlers Wells were aware it was common problem. Poor advertising by Theatres Direct.
A young company with a way to go as they develop, but some beautiful and very skilled dancers among them. I also felt they put heart and soul into their performance, and the audience reaction and support was amazing. An emotional experience, and a lovely mixed programme of the familiar loved classics and new or unfamiliar dances.
Just wonderful
