Bolshoi's "Romeo & Juliet"


Romeo & Juliet
chor. Yuri Grigorovich  (2010)
Bolshoi Ballet
with Anna Nikulina (Juliet), Aleksandr Volchkov (Romeo), Mikhail Lobukhin (Tybald)

The performance was powerful and emotive, with astonishing moments from a choreographic version that focuses on character and inner meaning. Mikhail Lobukhin was a virtuoso Tybalt, but I was underwhelmed by the two lovers.

last of the season
