Bolshoi Live: Ivan the Terrible
As young Ivan IV is crowned, he has to choose one of the 13 Boyar daughters to be his wife and tsarina. He selects Anastasia, and the two eventually fall deeply in love. When the Boyars plot against him and poison his beloved wife, Tsar Ivan finds himself surrounded by enemies. Haunted by dark thoughts, he slowly sinks into madness. Choreography, full of vigour, strength and wild jumps, also includes great grace and fragility in the female roles.
