  • A laugh-out-loud comical ballet in two acts, The Bright Stream celebrates the maddening, baffling disillusion of love with both hilarious deceptions and joyful resolutions. The libretto, by Adrian Piotrovsky and Fyodor Lopukhov, tells the story of the members of a Russian farm collective in the 1930's and their humorous interactions with a group of visiting performers during the harvest festival. Known for his precise characterization in movement, Ratmansky uses Shostakovich’s robust folk music to tell this zany tale, broadcast from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow. Full synopsis

Must Go!
A territic "Bright Stream"

The Bolshoi's dancing was terrific and in some parts it was (intentionally) hilarious. Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Go see it if it comes your way! A great production....
