For years artists of the Bolshoy dreamed of performing this ballet created by John Neumeier, the great choreographer of the XX century, and set to timeless music of Frederic Chaupin. While exquisitely beautiful costumes and sets by Jürgen Rose fascinate the eye, inspired performances of the Bolshoy ballet company make us vividly relive the tragic love story of Marguerite Gautier and Armand Duval, as laid out by Alexandre Dumas-fils, all over again.
