2/4/18 review of Bolshoi Ballet in Cinema's Lady of the Camellias

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Bolshoi Ballet in Cinema's performance of Lady of the Camellias.

The thread gives a summary of and some background on the ballet, by John Neumeier (based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas, fils) and the Bolshoi Ballet in Cinema series. The thread discusses how the dance develops the love story, how a play serves as a "story within the story," how the dance highlights the psychology of the story, how the music of Frédéric Chopin adds to the story, and the performances of Svetlana Zakharova, Edvin Revazov, and Anna Tikhomirova.

I saw this screening at the Regal UA Denver Pavilions in downtown Denver, Colorado.
