The Georgian National Ballet “Sukhishvili” will storm Yerevan on May 5, 2025 — a must-see event! The concert will dazzle at the Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet named after Spendiaryan (54 Tumanyan St., Yerevan). Dubbed the “eighth wonder of the world” by global media, this is Yerevan’s chance to experience a breathtaking legend of Georgian culture.

Founded in 1945 by Iliko Sukhishvili and Nino Ramishvili, “Sukhishvili” was Georgia’s first professional folk dance ensemble. Now led by their grandchildren, Iliko and Nino Sukhishvili Jr., this dynasty keeps Georgian dance at the peak of global acclaim. With 100 dancers, their performances tell Georgia’s story through mesmerizing choreography — from gravity-defying leaps and spins by men, with sparks flying from sabers, to the angelic grace of women gliding in luxurious costumes. Their signature toe dance — where men leap and land on their toes in soft leather boots — is a rare mastery, unique in the world, honed from age five.

Having toured 88 countries with over 200 tours and 10,000 shows for 50 million viewers, “Sukhishvili” has left an indelible mark. Broadway named their 1988 show the “best of the season,” Australia called them a “wonder of the world,” and La Scala raised the curtain 14 times! Their costumes, inspiring designers like Saint Laurent and Dior, are crafted from exclusive fabrics, adorned with silk embroidery, stones, and metal. A live orchestra, playing rare instruments like drums, flutes, and accordions, accompanies every move with music passed down through generations.

Ready for a night of acrobatic feats, sword fights, and divine elegance? The “Sukhishvili” concert in Yerevan on May 5, 2025, blends raw power and refined beauty.
