The Bolshoi Ballet opens this eagerly awaited season with a stunning new staging of Le Corsaire by the Company's Artistic Director, Alexei Ratmansky.

Set on the banks of the Ionian Sea against a climate of political unrest between the Greeks and the Turks, this exotic ballet contains all the ingredients of a traditional Russian spectacular - love, intrigue, deception, a splendid shipwreck, a harem and a kidnap.
