A Russian ballet portraying the life and tragic death of Britain’s Princess Diana will premiere in Moscow this summer.
The Bolshoi Ballet company will stage their work Princess of the People at the city’s world famous Bolshoi Theatre.
British composer Keith Hearne has already recorded five music pieces for the ballet with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
Following its Moscow debut, the ballet will travel to London for a special performance to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana’s death.
The princess was killed along with her lover Dodi Al Fayed in a Paris car crash in August 1997.
Ilse Liepa, principle dancer with the Kirov and Bolshoi Ballet, will perform the leading role.
She said: ‘I heard about the new ballet and when I listened to the music was absolutely enthralled by the tunefulness and great emotion within the work.
I am certain that this ballet will become one of the great classics in the field of ballet.’
