Olga (ballet)

[1] The ballet was produced by the conductor Stefan Turchak, the choreographer Anatoliy Shekera and the designer Fedir Nirod.

[4] This production was staged by the choreographer Oleg Nikolaev, the conductor Yuriy Porokhovnyk, the designer Daria Bila and the choir leader Valentin Puchkov-Sorochinsky.

[5] Under Nikolaev's choreography, the ballet consisted of eight episodes, creating a detailed composition of dance symphony and polyphony.

[7] The second act is a story about Olga's reign, the most important moment of which was a trip to Constantinople and the adoption of Orthodox Christianity.

The climactic scene is the final apotheosis, in which Olga, Madonna-like on a cross-shaped icon, holds her little grandson Vladimir in her arms.
