“Serenada” apparently might become the beginning of something serious in the Georgian ballet. Alexander Plisetskiy has returned the ballet to its basics, revived it, gave back the real life, spirituality, instantaneous beginning, in brief, all that the theatre is composed of. Reviving the tape, Plisetskiy demanded his actors not only…
Plisetskiy’s work was hard and meticulous. The essential need was not only in the persistence and taken responsibility but also in the deep understanding of the choreographic principles of the Balanchine’s school, his specific style…
Nothing goes without saying neither in the theatre nor in the life. Only the persistent, diligent and selfless work of choreographer Alexander Plisetskiy, his assistant M. Goderdzishvili and of all ballet company made the performance successful and gave hopes for revival of the Georgian ballet. The ballet company’s eurythmy suprises. “Along the music” and not “to music”. Here is the secret! Let’s hope that “Serenada” with its pure musically-dance culture will help the Georgian ballet to obtain the routes for its rise to a high level of excellence”

“…..Success of Georgian ballet in Moscow on the stage of Bolshoi theatre and Central Concert hall is great and obvious…..One act ballet set to music “Serenade for string-ban” of Cheikovskiyi, played with inspiration by the orchestra headed by chief conductor of the theatrу G.Kahidze, is renewed scrupulously and with awe.

1984. Serenade for Strings «- Ballet of George Balanchine.
George Balanchivadze emigrated to the United States, and his performances were banned in the USSR. Alexander Plisetsky obtained permission to stage this brilliant ballet. So – this event went down in history as the first thing in the history of the country with the communist regime, as the opening of the «Iron Curtain» during the «perestroika». Balanchine was happy that «Serenade» will be staged in his homeland, the Tbilisi Theater Paliashvili. But, unfortunately, he did not see this event. In his testament, the rights to the ballet dancers were passed five of his troupe. Alexander Plisetsky had to re-negotiate the statement that at that time had great nerve costs. Perform «Serenade» as did the Georgian ballet dancer, could not be any, even the purest classical troupe in Russia. Plisetsky gave «soul» of the ballet, style and atmosphere. This event is still unforgettable.
