Kirov Stars: Shakespeare Dance Trilogy (1993)

Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet" and "Othello" get a remarkable dance interpretation in this trilogy of one-act ballets performed by Alexander Semenchukov, Gabriella Komleva, Svetlana Semenova and other stars of the Kirov Ballet. With music by Tchaikovsky and Henry Purcell, the choreography of Natalay Rizhenko, Victor Smirnov-Golovanov and José Limón brings the passion, drama and power of the Bard's plays to the dance stage.
