Intérprete: Mikhail Lobukhin

Modanse, a double bill designed for the star Bolshoi ballerina, disappoints at the London Coliseum. 

Near perfection from the corps de ballet represent the Bolshoi at its very best during its Royal Opera House residency.

Superstar husband-and-wife team, renowned violinist Vadim Repin and "tsarina of the dance" Svetlana Zakharova, go on a date and take us with them. The music fared much better than the ballet.

Some of today’s star ballet dancers are exploring creative endeavours of their own alongside already busy schedules of performances. This November, it is Zakharova who curates her own evening of dance.

While the ballet's libretto is dated, The Golden Age can, when performed by great artists, be both an entertaining and emotionally satisfying ballet.
