A PROFESSIONAL ballet will be broadcast live next week.
Bolshoi Ballet will be performing The Golden Age live in Moscow, with a screening taking place at The Drill Hall in Chepstow on Sunday, April 14.
The ballet is a glorious satire of Europe in the Roaring 20s, set in a seaside town where business and the Mafia are flourishing.
“The Golden Age” is a cabaret, the favourite nightly haunt of bandits, young revellers and dancers. A young fisherman, Boris, falls in love with Rita. He follows her to the cabaret and realises that she is a beautiful dancer, “Mademoiselle Margot” and the girlfriend of the local gangster.
With its passionate love story, featuring beautiful duets between Boris and Rita, the Bolshoi dancers plunge magnificently into every stylised step and gesture. The jazzy score by Shostakovich and its music-hall atmosphere featuring beautiful tangos, make The Golden Age a refreshing and colourful dive back into the 1920s.
Tickets are available from Chepstow Museum for £12 or £10 concession, with funds supporting Monmouthshire Museums.
