The Bolshoi Ballet: Spartacus
March 13, 2016, 12:55 PM
$13
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. Grigorovich’s Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in 1968 and has since remained the Russian company’s signature ballet. This most spectacular production is an epic tour de force, giving full expression to the virility and strengh for which the Bolshoi’s 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.
This performance is a high-definition broadcast from Moscow. It was recorded live on October 20, 2013. The running time is 3:00, including two intermissions.
Tickets: $15 Adults, $13 Seniors. Call for discounted student ticket prices.
