Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta is currently one of the top worlds ballet figures and a superstar of the London Royal Ballet Covent Garden with which hell dance in the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow this month.
Performing in the Bolshoi Theatre is a challenge and a good pretext for the renowned hit maker to show his extraordinary athleticism and remarkable technical virtuosity as the famous Russian Ballet Companys director Alexei Ratmanski said.
Watching Carlos Acosta dance Spartacus - by the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian - should be a breathtaking experience due to his outstanding Cuban National Ballet School-style technique and personal grace, key factors of his unique performances.
"As a Cuban man, Acosta has a revolutionary passion, vital for the characters he stages. Besides such a heroic and virile image in dancing is uncommonly seen in the contemporary dancers" Ratmanski said to the critics.
Today there are only four dancers that can play Spartacus in the Bolshoi; Belogolovtsev, Klevtsov, Matvienko and Vorobiov. And now Carlos Acosta joins our Company as soloist guest star to dance not only in Moscow but also to open Londons ballet season from July 30 on.
