The Bolshoi's dazzlingly imaginative production of The Bright Stream returns after its sensational success with London audiences and critics at its premiere last year.

In an exuberant homage to the Russian people, Shostakovich's massive, colourful score provides the canvas for this irrepressibly mischievous comedy of life and love in which flirtatious husbands receive their just deserts.

Alexei Ratmansky's vibrant staging combines acrobatics, disguise and farce, in a kaleidoscopic whirl of sparkling virtuosity.
