Aram Khachaturian - Spartacus [HD] Spartacus is a ballet by Aram Khachaturian (1903–1978). The work follows the exploits of Spartacus, the leader of the slave uprising against the Romans known as the Third Servile War, although the ballet's storyline takes considerable liberties with the historical record. Khachaturian composed Spartacus in 1954, and was awarded a Lenin Prize for the composition that same year. It was first staged, with choreography by Leonid Yakobson, in Leningrad 1956, but only with qualified success since Yakobson abandoned conventional pointe in his choreography. The ballet received its first staging at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow in 1958, choreographed by Igor Moiseyev; however it was the 1968 production, choreographed by Yury Grigorovich, which achieved the greatest acclaim for the ballet. It remains one of Khachaturian's best known works and is prominent within the repertoires of the Bolshoi Theatre and other ballet companies in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Music by : Aram Khachaturian Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich Spartacus: Carlos Acosta Crassus: Alexander Volchkov Phrygia: Nina Kaptsova Aegina: María Allash Soloists and body of the Ballet of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia Orchestra of Cologne, directed by Pavel Klinichev
