Based on Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, this tale of love and loyalty triumphing over corruption was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa. This newly choreographed version by Yuri Burklava and Vasily Medvedev is a feast for the eyes, starring prima ballerina Maria Alexandrova with Denis Savin and Ruslan Skvortsov.
