Spartacus
Спартак
chor. Yuri Grigorovich (1968)
Bolshoi Ballet
Балетная Труппа Большого Театра
with Mikhail Lobukhin (Spartacus), Svetlana Zakharova (Aegina), and Vlad Lantratov (Crassus)
The ballet is a grandiose spectacle worthy of its historical subject — the remarkable but ultimately doomed revolt of slaves in Rome, 73-71 BCE, led by Thracian Spartacus. A notable Bolshoi landmark created in a time of Soviet turmoil, it remains a signature piece for the company, with principal roles invariably attributed to outstanding talent.
Vlad Lantratov was an astonishing Crassus and Mikhail Lobukhin a robust and suitably arousing Spartacus, both virtuoso artists, in this blockbuster piece dominated by male dance.
