The 2017-2018 Bolshoi Ballet season presents the greatest classics restaged by today\u2019s most celebrated choreographers, for a cinema exclusive experience featuring the Bolshoi principals and corps de ballet. Three historical ballets reimagined by Alexei Ratmansky (le Corsaire, Romeo and Juliet, and The Flames of Paris) will be presented along with John Neumeier\u2019s Lady of the Camellias and Jean-Christophe Maillot\u2019s Taming of the Shrew. Three timeless classics of the Moscow stage will complete the season: Giselle, the Nutcracker and Copp\u00e9lia. As classical as it may be, the Bolshoi remains the unshakable reference of ballet today.<\/p>\n<h2>Taming of the Shrew<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5523\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TamingOfTheShrewBallet.jpg?resize=500%2C115\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TamingOfTheShrewBallet.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TamingOfTheShrewBallet.jpg?resize=300%2C69&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A story of the strongest love, the Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, kick-started the ballet season at Ster-Kinekor Cinema Nouveau Theatres. With numerous hilarious renditions, this was not your expected theatrical take, but rather a rare musical performance by the Bolshoi Ballet dancers, captured live in Moscow. This tale follows suit of Shakespeare\u2019s novels of star-crossed lovers who beyond reasonable doubt, defy all odds to be with each other.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE TAMING OF THE SHREW - Bolshoi Ballet in Cinema (Official trailer)\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d94BQ9PvXw4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Le Corsaire: From 02 December 2017<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5524\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LeCorsaire.jpg?resize=360%2C184\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LeCorsaire.jpg?w=360&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LeCorsaire.jpg?resize=300%2C153&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Up next on the big screen is Le Corsaire (The Pirate).
