11/26/16 review of Bolshoi in Cinema screening of The Bright Stream

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of an encore screening of Dmitri Shostakovich's The Bright Stream, performed by the Bolshoi Ballet.

The thread gives some background on the ballet and the scandal it caused for Shostakovich. It discusses the dancers, setting, themes, and gender-bending elements of the ballet. And it compares the ballet to some films and musicals.

Here is the link to the website for the Bolshoi Ballet in Cinemas.

I saw this screening at the Denver Film Society's Sie FilmCenter in Denver, Colorado.
