Reviews
Another marvelously informative book from Simon Morrison, dishing this time on Russia's great musical theater, onstage and off. It is a wonderful read, full of intriguing spectacle and spectacular intrigue., A sweeping, grandly intriguing story at the interface of art and power. . . . Morrison frames his story, always readable and brimming with curious anecdotes, with the recent, newsworthy acid attack on artistic director Sergei Filin, a strange episode that exposed not just clashes of individual personalities, but also competing views of what the Bolshoi should be, some of which may have emanated from inside the walls of the neighboring Kremlin. A must for ballet buffs . . . . [and] a look backstage that is both lively and learned., Morrison sweeps readers through the storied company's 240-year history, describing key figures onstage and off, political ties to various regimes, and the births of many famous ballets., Simon Morrison's Bolshoi Confidential is a magisterial portrait of the art, intrigue, and politics buffeting Russia's great cultural institution, the Bolshoi Ballet., Masterful. . . . Bolshoi Confidential . . . is much more than a compendium of ballerinas behaving badly. Rather, it offers a rich, fascinating and nuanced examination of the role of the arts in Russian history, one that highlights their profound importance to the creation of a national identity and their troubled relationship with the country's rulers., Simon Morrison has written an engrossing history of one of Russia's most enduring cultural institutions. Bolshoi Confidential deftly shatters the distinctions between high-brow and low-brow, art and politics, authority and violence., The insider look in Bolshoi Confidential is incredibly rich and makes this book a page-turner...Breathtakingly complicated life stories of both people and productions parade through the pages...Its central figures, like Plisetskaya, jump off its pages complex and alive., The title means what it says. There's plenty of scandal here: arson, double suicide, dead cats flung at curtain calls. At the same time, the book is energetically researched, beautifully written -- fun, relaxed, sophisticated -- and full of serious ideas, boldly stated., Morrison turns to the past in order to unpack the conundrum of the Bolshoi within the enigma-wrapped, mystery-obscured riddle of the Russian state...All of this makes for good, even great, fodder...Sex scandals, double-suicide pacts, bribery, arson, executions, prostitution rings, embezzlement, starving orphans, dead cats in lieu of flowers, and ballerinas refusing to shave their armpits., Simon Morrison's Bolshoi Confidential lifts the curtain on Russia's best-known cultural institution. An intoxicating mix of grandeur and gossip, it charts luminous performances on stage and sordid machinations in the wings from the age of Catherine the Great to that of Vladimir Putin...Sweeping and authoritative., Charming and astonishingly detailed...The Bolshoi's dancers, ballets, and composers, its administrators and detractors and supporters--all are tantalizingly depicted here... Balletomanes will drool and sigh, music lovers will be fascinated...A riveting history.
