Bolshoi Ballet: Spartacus
March 15, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Music: Aram Kachaturian Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich
In ancient Rome, Spartacus, a Thracian king, is turned captive by Crassus with his wife Phrygia. Forced to fight as a gladiator and kill one of his friends, Spartacus plots an unprecedented upheaval.
Grigorovichs Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in 1968 and has since remained the Russian companys signature ballet. This most spectacular production is an epic tour de force, giving full expression to the virility and strength for which the Bolshois male dancers are renowned. Principal dancer Mikhail Lobukhin is stunning in the role of the legendary gladiator, along with Svetlana Zakharova as Aegina and Vladislav Lantratov as Crassus.
Satellite broadcast from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow.
