Kitri (Viktoria Tereshkina on opening night) bursts in right at the start to get the merriment going, and is soon joined by her amorous suitor, Basil (Kimin Kim). Although their balletic fireworks are designed to impress the audience, the demi-soloists and corps perform for each other, honouring the choreography: they don’t ‘sell’ their steps in the way the Bolshoi dancers do. -- source link
