The Bolshoi Ballet: Raymonda
October 27, 2019, 12:55 PM – 4:00 PM
$15 – $18
Written by: Alexander Glazunov
Choreographed by: Marius Petipa
Raymonda is betrothed to Jean de Brienne, a gallant knight who pledged to go on a crusade led by the King of Hungary. When her beloved leaves, Abderakhman, a foreign knight, makes a bid for the hand of Raymonda and threatens her fate when she rejects him.
Raymonda is a must-see work of the Bolshoi, a work of living dance history showcasing the ballerina as the ultimate virtuoso. Being one of legendary choreographer Marius Petipa’s final works, he fully armed this ballet with beautiful court scenes, romantic corps de ballet dances, Hungarian czardas and a title role suited for the most outstanding ballerina.
This performance is a live broadcast from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, Russia. The approximate running time is three hours, with intermissions to be announced.
Tickets: $15 - $18. (Prices include per ticket handling fees.)
