Ekaterina Krysanova and Vladislav Lantratov in Taming of the Shrew, Bolshoi Ballet, August 2016. © Dave Morgan.Maillot’s ballet belongs to Krysanova and Lantratov, who succeed in conveying that Kate and Petruchio are wildly, equally in love, however crassly they treat each other and those around them. He is horrible to his loyal servant, she is beastly to her father and sister. Only the fact that both are superb classical dancers makes their performances as comedians praiseworthy: because they impart such whole-hearted enjoyment, the audience responds without questioning what the ballet is endorsing in the 21st century. -- source link
