Speed Dating
Быстрые свидания
Perhaps for the first time in world history, a single ballet has been created by 12 co-authors—six choreographers and six composers. "Speed Dating" is the result of the "Write a Ballet" ("pishi balet") laboratory, conducted by the Ural Opera Ballet Theatre and the Union of Composers of Russia with the support of the Russian Ministry of Culture and the international festival "Diaghilev P. S.". Six finalist composers and a representative of another rare profession—a lighting designer—were selected in a major competition.

The grand five-part structure of the Fifth Symphony encompasses a long journey from the Funeral March to its tumultuous finale – perhaps naive in its finality but a sincere attempt to resolve the tragic conflict with the surrounding world.
