Mikhail Lobukhin gives a stunning performance as Ivan in the bolshoi's production of Ivan The Terrible

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.

Week two of the Bolshoi Ballet's New York engagement featured the effervescent Maria Alexandrova as Kitri in a mostly successful Don Quixote. Alexandrova and Lantratov (as Basilio) lit up the stage of the Koch Theater (Lincoln Centre Festival, New York)  

A Soviet sun shines down on Ratmansky's The Bright Stream at The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. From its 2003 première, his Bright Stream became an instant hit with audiences both at home and abroad – and it’s easy to see why.

There can be no lovelier and mystical moment in classical ballet than the sight of 32 ethereal ‘Shades’ in a ribbon of white, slowly descending from a darkened mountain range, down a zigzag ramp to the stage.
