This acclaimed production of Rimsky-Korsakov's Mlada, a story of early Slavs prior to Christian conversion, captures the essence of the Bolshoi's traditions of drama and realism. It is complemented by Andrei Petrov's inspired choreography, with its amazing variety of ritual dances. Dancing is indeed the crux of Mlada, which can be described as a ballet with a vocal score as much as an opera with dancing. World-renowned star of the Bolshoi Ballet, Nina Ananiashvili, exquisitely dances the double role of Mlada/Cleopatra. Designer Valery Levental has created breathtaking fantasy effects, immersed in the traditions of Slavonic art, transforming the stage into a panorama of stunning, bizarre and ever-changing delights. With the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Subtitled in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese
