the male leads were exceptional - the jumps reached amazing height. unfortunately, two corps ballerinas fell during the performance...most unfortunate!

Review 3 for Bolshoi Ballet
Black and white4 swan by same ballerina

Favourite moment: The meeting of the white swan by the prince during the hunting scene. @

Usually the black swan and the white swan are performed by different ballerinas. In the Toronto debute, the black swan and the white swan are performed by the same ballerina. This is unusual and more difficult as the two roles are quite contrastic.
However, from the brochure introduciton I understand that the top ballerinas from Russia in Bolshoi did not come.
I hope that I can see them next time.

why did they put black zippers on the white swan costumes?

The appearance on tour of this great company is an exciting event. They brought exciting principal dancers for the leading parts in many virtuoso moments. The corps de ballet was disciplined and beautiful. It was a version of Swan Lake unknown in the West and quite intriguing for admirers of this major classic. The staging was overall impressive.

This was the most beautiful performance I have ever seen. It was a visual feast. The male dancers seemed to just float in the air, and land as softly as a feather. I was so moved by the beauty and the story that I wept through the entire first act. I did not want this event to end.

I found it extremely disconcerting that the two leads needed to stop and be applauded for every two minutes they danced.

Very nice performance of Swan Lake, however, the whole thing seemed disjointed due to the fact that after each dance sequence, the dancers came to the front of the stage to take a bow and almost DEMAND adulation!! The whole performance could have been about 20 minutes shorter had they not stopped so often to take a bow. People around me were getting quite frustrated with this and the couple behind me actually exclaimed "oh, come on!!"

Amazing music, amazing professionalism of all performers, from the leading stars to the corps de ballet dancers! With so many dancers on the floor (at some scenes over 30) you almost don't hear the sound of them landing, they are like snowflakes, weightless!
Great decorations and costumes. Having a real orchestra adds a lot to the whole impression.

I am a big ballet fan, and of course I couldn't have missed this event. It was slightly modified, shortened version of the classical ballet "Swan Lake" which was greatly executed. I loved attention to details, the dancers were quite synchronized in the movements, and you could also the Russian discipline. I have to say the quality of Russian ballet started deteriorating, but I am happy to say Bolshoi is an exception. If you want to see the results of training done in Russian ballet school, it is worth seeing this performance.

Bolshoi means great in Russian. Indeed, the show was great! I had little doubts of whether to go or not - last year we have seen 'the Swan Lake' by Mariinka, the competior of Bolshoi from St. Petersburg. We wished Bolshoi would have bring some other balley, not the Swan Lake. However, my doubts dissapeared with the first sounds of music...It was a completely different performance. Yes, the music was the same - you can't change Mr. Chaikovsky. But instead of a fairy tale, we saw a tragedy - how a simple mistake in your life can change everything! The young dancers were amazing, extremely professional and expressive! The decorations, the costumes - everything was in the same style... I had a feeling of a miracle. Yes, last year Mariinka was great (I am a Moscovite by birth, so in this two hunderd year rivalship between St. Pete and Moscow, I am on the Moscow side), but Bolshoi was different and amazing! I got so much positive energy from this balley, that for the next two-three days I was simply 'flying' - I had a feeling that I could do everything. By the way, if you are in Moscow, you can rarely have a chance to see the same dancers - the best ones are usually performing somewhere abroad...

The Bolshoi was an absolutely spectacular show. The dancers were all incredibly talented and made even the most challenging moves look effortless and beautiful. Our seats were at the front of the balcony and I think they were probably the best seats in the house: close enough to get a clear view and high enough to get the full effect of the ensemble. The orchestra did a masterful job, the costumes were gorgeous and the whole event was just magical. Best performance of Swan Lake I have ever seen.

I have seen many performances of "Swan Lake" by other ballet companies , but this one was by far the very best - excellent choreograpy, beautiful costumes & set designs. And the perfection is truly outstanding - not a finger or head is out of place -
