Editorial Reviews

Three of Shakespeare's immortal dramas are powerfully interpreted in this trilogy of one-act ballets danced by the stars of the Kirov Ballet. Filmed on location at a spectacular medieval castle overlooking the sea, these performances are truly majestic in their artistic and dramatic scope.

ROME AND JULIET
Shakespeare's tale of the star-crossed lovers is told with passionate conviction. Lively crowd scenes, thrilling combat and the chemistry between Semenchukov and Semenova enhances this moving performance.
MUSIC: Tchaikovsky
State Academic Orchestra of the USSR
CHOREOGRAPHY: Nataly Rizhenko & Victor Smirnov-Golovanov
ROMEO: Alexander Semenchukov
JULIET: Svetlana Semenova
LORENZO: Nikita Dolgushin

HAMLET
Electrifying performances, danced to Tchaikovsky's fantasy-overture, bring this gripping story to life. The climactic events of the tragic hero's life are replayed in flashback through his dying dream.
MUSIC: Tchaikovsky
State Academic Orchestra of the USSR
CHOREOGRAPHY: Nataly Rizhenko
HAMLET: Vlastinil Garallis
CLAUDIUS: Nikita Dolgushin
GERTRUDE: Gabriella Komlev

THE MOOR'S PAVANE
This stylish account of "Othello" is the most important work of the illustrious Meican-American dancer/choreographer JOSE LIMON. The timeless tale of love, jealousy and deception, is danced with grace and power.
MUSIC: Henry Purcell
State Academic Orchestra of the St.
