Promoter changes name of ballet company after objections from Ukrainian embassy

An Irish promoter has said he regrets the use of the word “national” to describe a Ukrainian ballet company which is shortly to tour Ireland.

Ken Cavanagh of Act One Presents has changed the name of the Ukrainian National Ballet of Odessa to the Ukrainian Ballet of Peace. The ballet company is scheduled to perform Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake during a 12-date tour of Ireland featuring some of the biggest indoor venues such as the Helix in Dublin, the Cork Opera House and the Wexford Opera House.

The Ukrainian ministry of culture and information has objected to the word “national” being used. In a statement to The Irish Times, Dmytro Schedrin, the embassy first secretary, said there is only one national ballet company in Odesa and “neither the National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre of Odesa nor any of its dancers are involved in the impostor project called the Ukrainian National Ballet of Odessa”.

Ukrainian’s objecting sure It’s their National pastime at this stage and the same country who won’t enter peace talks. Laughable

Ukrainian embassy warns of ‘impostor’ ballet company due to tour IrelandA company that calls itself the Ukrainian National Ballet of Odessa has been described as an “impostor” by the Ukrainian embassy in Ireland. It will tour Ireland later this month with 12 performances of Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Once bitten, twice Scheisse 'Wait a minute! You're not the Ukrainian ballet company production of Swan Lake! You're a chicken!!' Bit hard on poor old Tchaikovsky, who lived for his music. His gay nature has been vilified and suppressed but Putin's mob. If he were alive today, he'd have to get out of Russia. Definitely this ballet company's status needs clarification.
