Georgian National Ballet ''Sukhishvili''

For over 80 years, it has embodied art, strength of spirit, and inexhaustible energy. The first and original Georgian National Dance Ensemble – 'The First and The Original' – has become a symbol of authentic Georgian culture, with no equal in the world.

In 1945, the Georgian National Ballet 'Sukhishvili' was founded by Iliko and Nino Sukhishvili. Today, the collective is led by the third generation of the family – the founders' grandchildren. The dynasty has preserved and nurtured the traditions, making 'Sukhishvili' the pride of Georgia's art and cultural heritage.

Audiences in the USA, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, and other countries can look forward to a unique program. It includes the best performances from the collective's entire history – a true embodiment of perfection and supreme mastery that has become Georgia's calling card on the world stage.

For eight decades, the Georgian National Ballet 'Sukhishvili' has been winning the hearts of millions of viewers, performing on the world's most prestigious stages – from the Metropolitan Opera in New York to La Scala in Milan. The world has called it many things: the 'eighth wonder of the world' (The New York Times), a 'hurricane on stage' (Daily Telegraph), and 'energy capable of bringing an entire hall to its feet' (Le Figaro). However, all these descriptions share one thing – 'Sukhishvili' is a phenomenon with no equal in the world. A true frenzy of energy and beauty.

The concert program is a true explosion of emotions. Virtuosic male dances with acrobatic elements, leaps, and impressive sword spins make the audience gasp in admiration, while the female parts enchant with grace and majesty. One of the collective's most striking symbols remains the unique male dance on the tips of their toes – a signature feature of 'Sukhishvili' that other performers simply cannot replicate.

Beyond the impressive dance frenzy, audiences can expect true visual luxury: costumes made from natural fabrics, adorned with silk embroidery, shimmering stones, and metal details. The ensemble's live orchestra creates a special world of sound – using distinctive national instruments and ancient performance techniques, carefully passed down from generation to generation.

An 80-year history means the recognition of millions of fans, tens of thousands of concerts, more than a hundred countries on five continents, and performances on stages where only the very best are applauded. The Georgian National Ballet 'Sukhishvili' has written its name into the history of world culture forever.
