Dmitri Shostakovich

The Taming of the Shrew

Укрощение строптивой

Jean-Christophe Maillot’s production of The Taming of the Shrew is a funny and fast-witted comedy exclusive to the Bolshoi Theatre. This brilliantly choreographed ballet brings out the athleticism and vibrancy, and tackles the search for one’s better half. The Taming of the Shrew earned three Golden Mask awards for this bold rethinking of Shakespeare. The ballet starring Vladislav Lantratov and Ekaterina Krysanova is a wonderfully entertaining must-see production.
