The Bolshoi’s production of the Bright Stream has been described as one of the funniest ballets ever seen on stage, when a big city dance troupe visits a collective farm to perform for the bemused workers.
During a harvest festival on a collective farm in the Russian steppes, a Moscow dance troupe arrives from the big city to entertain the workers, causing all manner of hilarious trouble when they interact formally and informally with the locals in the process. With a sparkling and witty score by the great Dmitri Shostakovitch, The Bright Stream is a rich, comedy of errors love story with mistaken identities, hilarious deceptions and happy resolutions.
