"The Bolshoi are back…they came in with all guns blazing…and fairly burned up the stage…" GUARDIAN Bolshoi is Russian for great, an often over-worked adjective, but in the case of the Bolshoi Ballet, it is a worthy description of the world"s most famous ballet company.On this tour to the UK, the Bolshoi proved that it is a company of absolutes, in flamboyance and daring, brilliance and technical execution; and these triumphant qualities are captured for posterity in a divertissement programme which shows off the Bolshoi"s top ranking soloists at their bravura best.
