Many suitors dream of marrying the lovely and docile Bianca, including Lucentio.
However her father will not let anyone marry her before her elder sister,
the ill-tempered shrew Katherina, is herself married…
French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot lands a coup with his adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy tailored specifically to the Bolshoi dancers, and achieves a magnetic two hours of breathtaking, nonstop dance unlike any other, portraying the Bolshoi’s audacity and energy in a completely new way. This new production was staged exclusively for the Bolshoi and cannot be seen anywhere else!
