Plot Synopsis

Although this new version is directed by Alexei Ratmanski, "Les Flammes de Paris" was first presented by Vassili Vaynonen at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1933. Each of the projects of the Bolshoi Ballet has its very own character. "Les Flammes de Paris" is one of its most interesting and most unusual ballets.
