Reviews

  • The choreography, sets, costumes and, above all, Shostakovich's masterful score conspire to make THE BOLT one of those theatrical events that can cause even the most jaded viewer to stand up and cheer. Despite the ballet's inauspicious theme - industrial sabotage during the early days of Stalin's rule - it comes across as rollicking good fun, with delicious satirical overtones that can be grasped by anyone with even the vaguest notions of Soviet life in that tumultuous era.
    Raymond Stults, The Moscow Times
