Performed in 1981 by Rudolf Nureyev and recently added to the Bolshoi’s repertoire, this rarely presented swashbuckling ballet now sees its rebirth on the stage of the famed theatre.

Re-created specifically for the Bolshoi by French choreographer Pierre Lacotte, 'Marco Spada', or 'The Bandit’s Daughter' is a grandiose and unique ballet both on a technical and dramatic level: complex choreography; five lead roles created for five principals; several changes in scenery; the participation of nearly all the Corps de ballet; and even the presence of animals on stage.

With its scenes of pantomime, devilish intrigue, rejected suitors, kidnapping heroines, rebellion and lovers' misunderstandings, 'Marco Spada' is a fresh and joyful ballet to discover.

The American David Hallberg stars as Marco Spada with Evguenia Obraztsova, Olga Smirnova, Semion Chudin and the Corps de ballet of the Bolshoi Ballet.
