Chanel vs. Rubinstein breathes life into the legends of Gabrielle Chanel, Ida Rubinstein, and Prince Dmitri Romanov, as the musical-drama explores the artistic rivalry and cultural transformation of the 1920s—a decade that forever changed the landscape of fashion and performance.

Directed by Olga Khenkina, the play features:
Ekaterina Varnava as Ida Rubinstein
Svetlana Ustinova as Coco Chanel
Dmitry Kondrashov as Prince Dmitri Romanov

The story revolves around Chanel’s brief but profound relationship with Prince Dmitri, a romance that led to two legendary milestones: Chanel No. 5 and Ravel’s Boléro, composed for Rubinstein. The performance intricately blends historical truths with fictional elements, offering a vibrant depiction of an iconic era.

What to expect:

  • A fusion of fashion and creativity—how two daring women transformed ballet and high fashion.
  • A rare insight into Russian history—Prince Dmitri Romanov’s journey after the plot against Rasputin.
  • Remarkable performances—from Svetlana Ustinova’s intense emotional range to Ekaterina Varnava’s commanding presence and Dmitry Kondrashov’s charismatic portrayal.

Curated by VeraAgency, a premier concierge agency renowned for organizing exclusive artistic events and bringing together top-tier talent from around the world.
