Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Anastasia Stashkevich

Fêted collaboration lacks substance despite committed performances, and it's Cherkaoui's Faun that captures the human connection.

If it were a film, I’d say Maillot’s Shrew is more of a trashy Franco-Russian Rom-Com with literary pretensions than an art film.

Performing their prize winning The Taming of the Shrew in the Dance Open Festival at St Petersburg, this is a new-look Bolshoi company indeed!

Alexei Ratmansky's The Flames of Paris shows the Bolshoi Ballet in top form at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

With a rocket-fuelled, high-octane production of The Flames of Paris, the Bolshoi Ballet has concluded its three-week season in London. And with the reappearance of the company’s former Wunderkinds, back as guest artists, to dance together in the ballet’s opening performance, how could it be anything but an exciting and exuberating final flourish to the tour.

It would be hard to find someone who has not heard of Anna Pavlova. The name alone conjures up words such as elegant, visionary, iconic. Her acclaim results from a career in ballet spanning over 30 years, in which she had a tremendous influence over the world of classical dance and earned her place as one of the finest Russian ballerinas in history.
