Vladimir Vasiliev: plans for the Bolshoi
Article Abstract:
Vladimir Vasiliev hopes to base the future repertory of the Bolshoi Ballet on choreographic achievements previously unknown in Russia. The Bolshoi and Russia as a whole existed during the Soviet period in a closed world and did not dance any Western ballets. The season starting in 1996 will see a new production of John Cranko's 'The Taming of the Shrew.' Vasiliev feels revivals of the full-length Soviet ballets would be pointless.
