The Bolshoi chooses musicality and technique over special effects with Yuri Grigorovich's beloved classic.

Olga Smirnova's performance as Raymonda, at the Bolshoi, was nothing short of extraordinary. 

The Bolshoi Ballet's Nutcracker's simple narrative spans both acts with no extraneous characters and activities.

The 30 members of the male corps de ballet almost stole the show at the Bolshoi with the astonishing power of their dancing, alongside a leading quartet of soloists in Legend of Love.
