Photo Coverage: Bolshoi Ballet Triumphantly Returns to Toronto

The world-renowned Russian ballet company Bolshoi Ballet returned to Toronto last week for the first time in 33 years to perform the classic Swan Lake. It has been 135 years since the show had its world premiere, and it appears to be as gorgeous and timeless as ever before.

The Bolshoi Ballet was founded in 1776 and is one of the world's oldest ballet companies, and is known around the world for its bold style that combines classical ballet with expressive and modern elements to create a feast for the senses. BWW was on hand at The Sony Centre for the Performing Arts to capture photographs of the production, and we are thrilled to share them with our readers. The Bolshoi Ballet heads off to Ottawa next, where they will perform Don Quixote later this month.

Kelly Cameron's love affair with the theatre began when she was just five years old, on an outing to see the Original Canadian Cast of Les Miserables at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. She instantly fell in love, and since then has been lucky enough to be involved in various theatre activities and productions, including a regional production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and a local production of Where the Sidewalk Ends. She has also received training from various teachers throughout Southwestern Ontario in both piano and voice, and competed in vocal competitions for which she received a few awards. Her writing career started almost by accident, when she had the opportunity to become a ghostwriter for up and coming businesses. She continues to do this, writing the content for all sorts of companies who are starting websites and looking to find their voice. Her passion and love for theatre led to her becoming involved with BroadwayWorld where she is thrilled to be writing for the Toronto contingent of the rapidly growing website. When she isn't at the theatre, you can generally find her firmly planted in front of her trusty Blackberry - tweeting, Facebooking or partaking in other such social media activities to ensure that those who want to know are kept apprised of everything that Toronto theatre has to offer. Other interests include movies, art, music, shopping, fashion and martial arts with the occasional foray into the world of finance.
