Bolshoi Ballet 2017/2018 - Dmitri Shostakovich: The Taming of the Shrew

Director:

Coreographer: Jean-Christophe Maillot

Libretto: William Shakespeare

Cast: Ekaterina Krysanova, Vladislav Lantratov, Olga Smirnova, Semyon Chudin, Igor Tsvirko, Vyacheslav Lopatin

Baptista struggles to marry off his tempestuous daughter Katharina, a shrew who denies that any man could possibly be her match. However when she meets Petruchio, who is as ill-tempered as she, the two forces of nature ignite an unexpected and explosive encounter.

Acclaimed choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot brings out the wit, fast-paced athleticism and vibrancy from the Bolshoi Ballet dancers in Shakespeare’s rowdy comedy. Principals Ekaterina Krysanova and Vladislav Lantratov clash, challenge and eventually give themselves to one another in a wonderfully entertaining production that can only be seen at the Bolshoi!
