23 countries shared the experience of this broadcast in high-definition from the Bolshoi with 460 cinemas around the globe participating. Imagine the pressure that the dancers of this Don Quixote were under. How they rose to the occasion.
Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev added in more difficulties than we saw at the New Stage in Moscow last year (and maybe than in the performances at Covent Garden which I didn’t see). Same extraordinary lifts and fiery solo technique drew collective gasps from the audience. The applause in the Milanese cinema was enthusiastic. The emotions big, like the dancers on the screen before our eyes.
