Bolshoi Ballet HD Cinema Season

Overview

Starting at the end of November and stretching into 2014, the legendary tales of Sleeping Beauty and Spartacus will light up the nation’s silver screens. But these aren’t the classic films we’re talking about, but rather the latest productions from Moscow's celebrated Bolshoi Ballet, broadcast into cinemas around Australia (and the world).

The 2013-14 cinema program includes five ballets, each of which will screen twice in select theatres around the country. The first, in late November, will be of Aram Khachaturian’s Spartacus, generally considered to be among the greatest works in the Bolshoi’s repertoire.

December will see encore screenings of the company’s acclaimed 2012 performance of Marius Petipa’s Sleeping Beauty. This will allow the season to grand jeté into the new year with a trio of more recent works, beginning with Jewels in February, followed by Lost Illusions in March and concluding with The Golden Age in May.
