The company is renowned for its spectacular performances featuring vivid character portrayals, elaborate costumes and fanciful patterns of choreographic design. The dances follow one another in a kaleidoscopelike fashion, a continuous stream of folk dance elements combining in a single choreographic symphony.
Many of Krasnoyarsk’s dances have been created in collaboration with the company’s musical director, composer Vladimir Kornev, whose music is distinctive for its melodious folk character. Kornev’s extensive knowledge of folk dances and Siberian folklore help him weave music and dance together while also highlighting the folk instruments in the company’s orchestra.
