Bolshoi Ballet: The Taming of the Shrew
January 7, 2018, 12:55 PM – 3:00 PM
$13 – $15
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!
This is an encore high-definition broadcast from Moscow. The running time is 2:05, including intermission.
Location: Waterville Opera House, 1 Common Street, Waterville, 873-7000, www.operahouse.org.
Tickets: $15 Adults, $13 Seniors. (Prices do not include handling fees.)
