Performer: Chinara Alizade

In Prometheus, Krzysztof Pastor has created an epic full-length ballet for his company which serves to show-off a roster of powerful principal roles as well as a fine ensemble.

Don Quixote is a sunny ballet that is impossible not to enjoy, which here provided an evening of great skill and joyful entertainment. 

There’s a good reason Swan Lake is a box office blockbuster. Not only is it “famous” in the sense that even ballet neophytes know all about it, Swan Lake is a seriously meaty ballet with a narrative arc that offers tension-filled dynamics, a luscious score by Tchaikovsky and one of the most famous tragic love stories of all time.

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

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.
