fandeballet Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Did anyone see the July 8(?) performance of Spartacus w/ the Bolshoi and Acosta? Link to comment
Natalia Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 fandeballet - While I have yet to attend a performance of Spartacus starring Acosta, I got a sampling of his dancing on an amazing 1-minute clip from his July 8 debut performance in Moscow. It's the famous Act II segment of leaps, followed by fuettes and pirouettes, as Spartacus calls his troops to arms. Go to You Tube. In the search-space, type two words: Acosta Spartacus The above-described segment should appear, along with an extended pdd with Anna Antonicheva as Phrygia. Enjoy! Link to comment

carbro Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's imprudent to go out on a limb based on a few selected clips, but it looks to me like the Bolshoi at last has a brawny, heroic Spartacus, and Acosta perhaps a new signature role! Link to comment
mjbelkin Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Go to You Tube. In the search-space, type two words: Acosta Spartacus Thanks for that I saw Mukhamedov dance it when the Bolshoi first toured the UK in the '80s, and now I want to see Carlos Acosta - he looks like he has the same fight in him Link to comment
