Performer: Artemy Belyakov

Большой, храбрый, напористый. Если вы хотите посмотреть, как танцуют балет «Спартак», к вашим услугам только одна труппа: Большой балет.

Subtlety has no place here. Go for the explosive male dancing and two contrasting female leads.

The Bolshoi delivers a big, bold, and explosive Spartacus in the way that only the Bolshoi can.

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

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.
