Spartacus with the Bolshoi Ballet

The State Theatre is excited to be continuing our Bolshoi Ballet series in the new year. The State Theatre will be showing Spartacus on Sunday, March 20 at 3 p.m. This ballet centers around life in ancient Rome. Spartacus, a Thracian king, is turned captive by Crassus with his wife Phrygia. Forced to fight as a gladiator and kill one of his friends, Spartacus plots an unprecedented upheaval. Grigorovich’s Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in 1968 and has since remained the Russian company’s signature ballet. (SPARTACUS was recorded live on October 20, 2013) Tickets can be purchased at the State Theatre box office, by phone at (814) 272-0606. Tickets can also be purchased online.
