In 2025, the world-renowned Georgian National Ballet Sukhishvili will celebrate its 80th anniversary. For eight decades, the ensemble has enchanted audiences worldwide—from New York to Tokyo, from Paris to Sydney —with performances on the world’s most prestigious stages. To mark this special anniversary, Sukhishvili is launching a spectacular anniversary tour, showcasing the best of its rich choreographic history in a powerful and modern production.
The show is a thrilling tribute to Georgia’s cultural heritage. The breathtaking men’s dances feature lightning-fast pirouettes, gravity-defying leaps, the flash of sabers, and the famous toe dance —the very symbol of elegance and pride. The graceful female dancers glide across the stage in beautiful gowns, bringing balance, beauty, and charm to the performance.
The program is accompanied live by the Sukhishvili Orchestra, which plays rare Georgian instruments and employs unique techniques passed down from generation to generation. The handmade costumes, crafted from natural fabrics and adorned with embroidery and gemstones, have served as a source of inspiration for fashion icons such as Saint Laurent and Dior.
This unforgettable performance is a vibrant celebration of tradition, art, and 80 years of mastery. The anniversary program is the ultimate compilation of the most beautiful choreographies in the company’s history—revised and reimagined for the grandeur of this historic celebration.
