Dance review: The Bolshoi's Sleeping Beauty is an opulent yet superficial affair
The Bolshoi Ballet's new Sleeping Beauty is certainly opulent. From the feathered headdresses to the sheer amount of gold painted on Ezio Frigerio's scenery, it's a very glitzy vision of the story. For all the glitter, Yuri Grigorovich's production is superficial. It's left to the dancers to find warmth and depth in the ballet, with a fine Aurora from Ekaterina Krysanova.
