Bolshoi is Russian for great, an often over-worked adjective, but in the case of the Bolshoi Ballet, it is a worthy description of the world's most famous ballet company.

On this tour to the UK, the Bolshoi proved that is a company of absolutes, in flamboyance and daring, brilliance and technical execution; and these triumphant qualities are captured for posterity in a divertissement program which shows off the Bolshoi's top ranking soloists at their bravura best.
