Salle: Bolshoi Theatre: New Stage, Moscow

Achevé en 1985 et créé à Mannheim en 2013, l'Idiot de Mieczysław Weinberg est une authentique rareté. Première reprise depuis, on est ravi qu'elle ait enfin été présentée dans des conditions musicales et vocales qui lui rendent pleine justice et contribuent à la sortir toujours un peu plus de l'oubli.

The Bolshoi dancers Anna Tikhomiova and Artemy Belyakov shine in the stylish and poetic version of La Sylphide by Johan Kobborg.

After being banned in Soviet times, The Bright Stream made a glorious comeback in a new version by Alexei Ratmansky. 

Etudes is a welcome addition to the Bolshoi's repertoire.

Given the unappealing score and the lack of narrative and meaninful choreography, the dancers perform heroically.

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

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

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