Dance review: La Bayadère - The Bolshoi's Olga Smirnova is precise and otherworldly
The Bolshoi Ballet's Olga Smirnova dances with a moonlit glow. In the "Kingdom of the Shades" scene of La Bayadère, she gives the ghostly heroine a hypnotic beauty. Her bursts of dazzling speed don't break the smooth flow of her dancing: she's both precise and otherworldly.
