Bolshoi Confidential: Secrets of the Russian Ballet--From the Rule of the Tsars to Today (Audiobook)
Features
In this enthralling, definitive new history of the Bolshoi Ballet, visionary performances onstage compete with political machinations On January 17, 2013, a hooded assailant hurled acid into the face of the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, making international headlines.
