SPARTACUS

Carlos Acosta is one of the greatest male dancers of our time and has performed with all the major ballet companies of the world including American Ballet Theatre, Royal Ballet, Houston Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet and many more. Spartacus is a major vehicle for the male lead and Acosta brings a wealth of talent and energy to this formidable role. Following sensational performances in Moscow and London in 2007, the Bolshoi’s production was re-staged and filmed in January 2008 in the Paris Opera’s Palais Garnier. This is the first major release of Spartacus since the Bolshoi’s production in the 1970s. Includes a 30 minute extra video including interviews with Acosta and choreographer Yuri Grigorovich.
