In the 1920’s, The Golden Age cabaret is a favorite nightly
haunt. The young fisherman Boris falls in love with Rita. He
follows her to the cabaret and realizes that she is the beautiful
dancer “Mademoiselle Margot,” but also the love interest of the
local gangster Yashka.
With its jazzy score by Dmitri
Shostakovich and its music-hall atmosphere featuring beautiful
tangos, The Golden Age is a refreshing and colorful dive into the
roaring 20’s. A historic ballet that can be seen only at the
Bolshoi!
