The multi-ethnic Russian culture will appear in all its diversity during the five-day festival. The French public will be treated to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” staged by the Perm Choreography School, leading soloists of St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theater, a retrospective of Andrei Tarkovsky’s films, and a lot more.

Cote d’Azur retains fond recollections of well-known Russian writers, poets and artists, who lived and worked there in the past. It was there that Sergei Diaghilev’s famous Russian Seasons project was born more than century ago.
