The world premiere in the Ural Opera is a fantasy based on the libretto of forgotten ballets by Marius Petipa, a choreographer who is considered the creator of the classic Russian ballet: the 200th anniversary of his birth is now celebrated. «The Order of the King» is a ballet journey, whose heroes equip an expedition to the ends of the world in search of beauty.
Choreographer Vyacheslav Samodurov says: «My interest is to understand how a large ballet form can look today, whether it is possible to make a modern performance using Petipa's ballet extravaganza patterns.» New music was written by the professor of the St. Petersburg Conservatory Anatoly Korolev — one of the best Russian orchestral composers.

In «The Order of the King», I was, above all, subdued by modern choreography. The ballet encoded appeals to different eras, it is interesting to solve them.

Each following act should be stylistically unpredictable for listeners. The listener should not guess what will happen next. Exactly the same thing happens with costumes, decorations and other things.

Bright costumes, high-tech décor, movements honed to the smallest detail — artists of the Opera Theater have been preparing for this premiere for over a year. Today is the general run. The new production is a fantasy based on the libretto of the forgotten ballets by Marius Petipa.
