The Bolshoi Ballet is returning to London. In 2006 the exceptional Russian company graced Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House with award-winning productions. This year they will once again perform a three-week season. Tickets are set to go on sale at the end of March and will be in high demand.

The location will be different for this new run because the London Coliseum will be hosting the tourists. The theatre is home to the English National Opera and will serve as an exquisite venue. The performances included in the programme will feature two UK premieres and classic material including Don Quixote and Spartacus.

There will also be the return of The Bright Stream, a complexly-structured comedy by Dimitri Shostakovich. Directed by Alexi Ratmansky, the production received the ‘best new production 2006’ from the Critic’s Circle Dance Awards.

The Bolshoi Ballet’s visit is highly anticipated and excitement is already rising. For a taster of discussion and to see the performance dates go here…
