Performer: Svetlana Zakharova

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

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.

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.

Teatro alla Scala ballet is definitely on the rise. Bigonzetti creates Progetto Händel on Zakharova and Bolle, prompting a standing ovation of almost 20 minutes  

The prima ballerina talks about the key roles of Odette and Odile, her Bolshoi crown and her commitment to new choreography.
