Svetlana Zakharova – Gabrielle Chanel Ballet

Dubai Opera welcomes an extraordinary one-night ballet event on Sunday, 08 March 2026, as the world-renowned ballerina Svetlana Zakharova returns to the stage with MODANSE, a refined double bill produced by MuzArts and presented by M Premiere 🌟🎭

Celebrated as one of the defining figures of 21st-century ballet, Zakharova—Prima Ballerina of the Bolshoi Theatre and Étoile of Teatro alla Scala—is joined by an exceptional ensemble of dancers from the Bolshoi Theatre. The evening opens with Come Un Respiro (Like a Breath), a ballet created especially for Zakharova by acclaimed Italian choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti. Set to music by George Frideric Handel, the piece draws inspiration from the Baroque era, enhanced by bold, elegant costumes designed exclusively by Helena de Medeiros 🎶✨

The second half of the programme presents Gabrielle Chanel, a powerful tribute to the legendary fashion icon Coco Chanel. Choreographed by Yury Possokhov, with music by Ilya Demutsky and direction by Alexei Frandetti, the ballet traces Chanel’s remarkable journey from obscurity to global influence. With over 80 bespoke costumes created by the CHANEL Fashion House studio, movement becomes a metaphor for freedom, elegance, and transformation 👗🩰

This exceptional performance brings together ballet, music, and haute couture on one of Dubai’s most iconic stages.
