Taming of the Shrew
February 21, 2016, 5:00 PM
$13Rescheduled from February 14, due to technical difficulties.
Music: Dmitri Shostakovich
Choreography: Jean-Christophe Maillot
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 Ballet’s audacity and energy in a completely new way. This new production was staged exclusively for the Bolshoi and cannot be seen anywhere else!
This performance by the Bolshoi Ballet is an high-definition broadcast from Moscow.
Tickets: $15 Adults, $13 Seniors. Call for discounted student rates.
