La Bayadere (recorded) – Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014
Music: Ludwig Minkus
Choreography: Marius Petipa with new version by Yuri Grigorovich
The story of impossible love between Nikiya and Solor is set against the backdrop of a lush, mysterious India.

The great legend of the enigmatic swan/woman is one of the most romantic classical ballets, appropriately set in the era of courtly romance and characterized by elegance, style and harmony. With Tchaikovsky’s famous, lyrical score, Swan Lake depicts the tragic love between Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried, and will no doubt be performed to perfection by the unparalleled virtuosity of Russia’s great Bolshoi Ballet.
Romeo and Juliet (recorded) – Sunday, March. 8, 2015 at 12:55 p.m. local time
Music: Sergei Prokofiev
Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich
William Shakespeare’s timeless story, written in 1595, is brought to the stage through breathtaking choreography and Sergei Prokofiev’s much-loved score. This story of impossible love remains an all-time favorite, and is one of the world’s most popular ballets. Starring Anna Nikulina as Juliet and Alexander Volchkov as Romeo.
Ivan the Terrible – Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 12:55 p.m. ET / 11:55 a.m. CT / 10:55 a.m. MT and tape-delayed to 12:55 p.m. PT/AK/HI
Music: Sergei Prokofiev
Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich
Drawing on the music composed by Prokofiev for the 1944 Eisenstein film, Ivan the Terrible is a work in the true Bolshoi style. Yuri Grigorovich’s powerful and fascinating epic dramatizes Ivan the Terrible’s controversial reign, and portrays events in 16th-century Russia in visually stunning scenes. His choreography, full of vigor, strength and wild jumps, also includes great grace and fragility in the female roles. Sensitive classical and powerful character dance blend to create a lyrical epic, rich in the colors of medieval Russia.
