 Laughter rings across the theatre” (NYTimes) in The Bright Stream, a comical ballet that celebrates the maddening, baffling nature of love. The story, by Adrian Piotrovsky and Fyodor Lopukhov, tells of members of a Russian farm collective in the 1930's, and what happens when a group of visiting performers descend on their harvest festival. With such a loveable, positive plot, it’s hard to see why Stalin banned this work in 1936 – and why it wasn’t staged again until 2003. Choreographer Alexei Ratmansky uses Shostakovich’s robust folk music to tell this zany tale, broadcast from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow. Starring Svetlana Lunkina, Mikhail Lobukhin, Maria Alexandrova, Ruslan Skvortsov, Denis Savin and Alexey Loparevich. Laughter rings across the theatre” (NYTimes) in The Bright Stream, a comical ballet that celebrates the maddening, baffling nature of love.
