Pharaoh's Daughter

La Fille du Pharaon

The Pharaoh's Daughter

Дочь Фараона

chor. Marius Petipa (1862)

recension Pierre Lacotte  (2000)

simulcast from Moscow 25 November 2012

Bolshoi Ballet

with Svetlana Zakharova (Aspicia, Pharaoh's daughter),

Ruslan Skvortsov (Lord Wilson, Taor)

It takes the full resources of a great company to restore and mount a blockbuster production like this with huge cast and massive sets, a tour de force from beginning to end. The animated and virtuoso dance of principals Svetlana Zakharova and Ruslan Skvortsov was memorable.
