Obra: The Taming of the Shrew

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.

Unveiled in 2014, Jean-Christophe Maillot's The Taming of the Shrew has been an enormous hit in Moscow. Here it received a triumphant London première as part of the Bolshoi's three-week Royal Opera House residency.

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!
