Bolshoi Ballet: The Taming of the Shrew
Published:Wednesday | January 3, 2018 | 12:00 AM
Many suitors dream of marrying the lovely and docile Bianca, including Luciento. However, her father will not let anyone marry her before her elder sister, the ill-tempered shrew Katharina, is herself married.
French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot lands a coup with his adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy tailored specifically to the Bolshoi dancers, and achieves a magnetic two hours of breathtaking, nonstop dance unlike any other, portraying the Bolshoi’s audacity and energy in a completely new way.
This new production was staged exclusively for the Bolshoi and will be shown this Sunday, 11:30 a.m. at Palace Cineplex.
