Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet returns to the big screen for another season, kicking off with a performance of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, choreographed by acclaimed French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot.

The mesmerising Ekaterina Krysanova plays the role of Katharina 'the shrew' and the hypnotic Vladislav Lantratov plays the swaggering Petruchio who seeks to win her over. The pair clash and challenge each other in a vibrant and fresh performance filled with fast-paced athleticism.

Watch a behind-the-scenes interview with the Bolshoi Theatre's principal dancers discussing their role in The Taming of the Shrew here.
