Since then, more than 90 million people have seen them live at work. The company performs about 300 times a year. Millions of spectators visit their sold-out performances in more than a hundred countries. The Sukhishvili name is now internationally renowned, and their performances leave no one unmoved.
The costume collection of the Georgian National Ballet Sukhishvili consists of numerous traditional costumes for more than 100 dances. All costumes are made of exclusive natural fabrics and are decorated with embroidery, paintings, sequins and stones. In the beginning, the costumes were created by the famous painter Soliko Versaldze (1908-1989), today artistic director Nino Sukhishvili is the costume designer.
The ballet orchestra is also worth mentioning. They collect exclusive musical instruments, and play them with a special technique that is not taught in school, but passed down from generation to generation.
