HISTORy

The Moscow Ballet RFB was founded by Timur Fayziev in 1989. After having toured much of the world and retired from the stage, Timur founded his own academy of dancers. In 1989 he fulfilled the need to give professional continuity to the students of his academy. With only a few years of tours, the Company carried out numerous tours throughout Japan, England, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Thailand, Switzerland, and other countries. Nowadays and throughout its history, the Moscow Ballet RFB has exhibited a repertoire of the best pieces of classical ballet, among which one finds: “Sleeping Beauty”, “Swan Lake”, “Nutcracker”, “Giselle”, “Don Quixote”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, or “Carmen” (suite).

The international renown and prestige that the Company enjoys has not stopped growing. Because of this, as a result of the relevancy, rigor and professionalism that were forged as the years went by, in 1991 the RFB Moscow Ballet was the only one in the whole of Russia invited to participate in the legendary dancer and choreographer Rudolf Nureyev’s last tour through England, Norway and Sweden. In 2003 the company received from its country the honorific diploma for the effort made by the whole company on having carried out a thousand performances. To be one of the most important companies in the country is for the RFB Moscow Ballet the best proof and guarantee of the excellence that it has been exporting for over 25 years.
