Cracker of a Ballet

Jaydeep Ghosh

A grand 30-member troupe of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia enamoured the denizens of the capital with the classic dance theatre, Bolshoi.

The big act is kept in reserve by the troupe for the finale on October 25 of the ongoing Festival of Russian Culture in India. The festival treated us with Russian State Chamber Jazz Orchestra led by maestro Oleg Lundstrem and backed by the Pyatnitsky Choir.

The Bolsho ballet is titled ‘Nutcracker’ and has Russia’s star ballerina Diana Kosroyeva and soloist par excellence Andre Bolotin.
