The 2018/19 Bolshoi Ballet in cinema season showcases some of ballet’s greatest classical works performed by the world’s finest dancers creating a unique cinematic experience. Four classical ballets (La Sylphide, Don Quixote, La Bayadère and The Sleeping Beauty) will be shown on the big screen alongside the beloved Christmas tale The Nutcracker. The evocative 1920’s jazz ballet The Golden Age and Edward Clug’s latest choreographic work Petrushka alongside Carmen Suite completes the season.
Alexei Fadeyechev’s acclaimed staging of Don Quixote follows on 2 December 2018. Inspired by stories of brave knights, Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful servant Sancho Panza set out on an adventure to meet his ideal woman, Dulcinea. Bolshoi Principal dancers Ekaterina Krysanova (Kitri) and Semyon Chudin (Basilio) lead a spectacular cast of toreadors, flamenco dancers, gypsies and dryads in virtuosic dancing that is quintisentially Bolshoi. Set to music by Léon Minkus the production also stars Alexei Loparevic (Don Quixote), Olga Smirnova (The Queen of the Dryads), Anna Tikhomirova (a street dancer) and Kristina Krysanova (Mercedes).
A festive tradition for the whole family, the timeless classic The Nutcracker is broadcast live from the Bolshoi stage for two hours of enchantment and magic on 23 December 2018. On Christmas Eve Marie’s Nutcracker doll magically transforms into a prince taking them both on a wonderful adventure. Along with Tchaikovsky’s cherished score, Yuri Grigorovich’s choreography, the Bolshoi’s Principals, Soloists and the accomplished Bolshoi Corps de Ballet this promises to be the perfect pre-Christmas treat for the whole family.

Cinema transforms a basic element of life on earth into an exhilarating thrill ride in this astonishing, immersive documentary from Russian master Viktor Kossakovsky. Travelling from the frozen waters of Russia’s Lake Baikal to the mighty Angel Falls in Venezuela, he captures all the raw, glorious power of water and its impact on the planet. Icebergs groan and tumble, seas flick aside cars and signs of human existence in a mind-blowing fusion of sound and vision, in which incredible images are matched by a haunting soundtrack. An unmissable big screen experience.

The White Crow

Director: Ralph Fiennes
Starring: Louis Hofmann, Oleg Ivenko
Duration: 122 min


Preview screening at Picturehouse cinemas, followed by a live satellite Q&A with director Ralph Fiennes and very special guests.

The incredible true story of legendary dancer Rudolf Nureyev is brought vividly to life by Academy Award®-nominee Ralph Fiennes and BAFTA winning screenwriter David Hare. From Nureyev’s poverty-stricken childhood in the Soviet city of Ufa, to his blossoming as a student dancer in Leningrad, to his nail-biting escape from the KGB and defection to the West at the height of the Cold War, The White Crow is a gripping, revelatory look at a unique artist who transformed the world of ballet forever.

The White Crow  will go on general release in the UK on 22 March.
