Krátky popis
On a freezing night in January 2013, an assailant hurled acid in
the face of the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei
Filin. The crime, organized by a lead soloist, dragged one of
Russia’s most illustrious institutions into scandal. Under Vladimir
Putin, the Bolshoi Theatre has been called on to preserve Russia’s
lengthy artistic legacy and to mirror its neo-imperial ambitions.
As renowned musicologist Simon Morrison shows in his tour-de-force
account, the attack, and its torrid aftermath, underscored the
importance of the Bolshoi to the art of ballet, to Russia, and to
the world. With exclusive access to state archives and private
sources, Morrison sweeps us through the history of the ballet,
tracing the political ties that bind the institution to the varying
Russian regimes, and detailing the birth of some of the best-loved
ballets in the repertoire. From its disreputable beginnings in
1776, the Bolshoi became a point of pride for the tsarist empire
after the defeat of Napoleon in 1812.After the revolution, Moscow
was transformed into a global capital, meetings of the Communist
Party were hosted at the Bolshoi, and the Soviet Union was signed
into existence on its stage. Recently, a L450 million restoration
has returned the Bolshoi to its former glory, even as prized talent
has departed. The Theatre has been bombed, rigged with explosives
and reinforced with cement. Its dancers have suffered unimaginable
physical torment to climb the ranks. But, as Morrison reveals, the
Bolshoi has transcended its own fraught history, surviving 250
years of artistic and political upheaval to define not only Russian
culture but also ballet itself.
