The Tatar Academic State Opera and Ballet performs 'The Golden Horde', a ballet in two acts, choreographed by Georgiy Kovtun. 'The Golden Horde' refers to a part of the Mongol Empire that flourished from the mid-13th century to the end of the 14th century. The Kazan-based Tatar State Opera Theatre asked librettist and poet Renat Kharis to suggest several projects, of which the Golden Horde was eventually selected. The ballet shows the final years of the Golden Horde. The ballet’s music is composed by Rezeda Akhiyarora, and is performed by the Orchestra and Chorus of the Tatar Academic State Opera under the baton of Renat Salavatov. Among the performers are Maxim Potseluiko, Anton Polodyuk, Kristina Andreeva, Oleg Ivenko, and Nurlan Kanetov. This performance was recorded at the Tatar State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater in Kazan, Russia, in June 2014. (116 min)
