Intérprete: Kristina Kretova

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.

A unique collaboration between choreographer Yuri Possokhov and theatre director Kirill Serebennikov who adapted Lermontov's novel for the Bolshoi's new stage.

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.
