Bolshoi Ballet The Golden Age

Fathom Events, BY Experience and Pathé Live are thrilled to bring Yuri Grigorovich’s The Golden Age, broadcast LIVE from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, to select cinemas nationwide on Sunday, October 16. In Birmingham, the broadcast will be shown at the Carmike Vestavia Hills 10 and the Carmike Patton Creek 15.

In a seaside town where business and the mafia are flourishing, The Golden Age cabaret is the favorite nightly haunt of dancers, bandits and young revelers, where the young fisherman Boris falls in love with Rita, a beautiful dancer, but also the friend of a local gangster…

A satire of Europe during the Roaring 20s, The Golden Age makes for an original, colorful and dazzling show with its jazzy score and music-hall atmosphere. This ballet, that can only be seen at the Bolshoi, has everything to it: mad rhythms, vigorous chase scenes, and decadent cabaret numbers. With its passionate love story featuring beautiful duets between Boris and Rita, the Bolshoi dancers plunge into every stylized step and gesture magnificently.
