Description Ivan Vasiliev, Natalia Osipova, Denis Savin, alexei Ratmansky, Yuri Klevtsov, Nina Kaptsova, Anna Antonicheva, and Ruslan Skvortsov perform in this Bolshoi Ballet production of this ballet with music by Boris Asafiev, conducted by Pavel Sorokin.

I knew nothing about The Flames of Paris but considered that any performance by the Bolshoi should be good. I was right. The story, set during the French Revolution, is strong and the music enjoyable and commonly better than that, very dramatic at times. One number gets stuck in my mind for hours. But were the costumes quite authentic? No sans culottes except for performers in two classical Greek interludes! Variety is also provided by some folk dances. The dancing is superb, especially in several numbers near the end, and scenes of rampaging revolutionary mobs were very well done. I'm glad I bought it - I recommend it to all ballet lovers.
