The Bolshoi performed its modern version of Romeo and Juliet as well as classical Raymonda, Giselle, and Don Quixote ballets.
"Through all the six weeks and over 40 performances, the house was overcrowded," director general of the Bolshoi Theater Anatoly Iksanov told RIA Novosti exclusively, "In Mexico, newspapers wrote it must have been the Lord himself who had sent the Bolshoi ballet to the Mexican audience. Of course we are pleased with the result of the tour, but most of all I am happy about landslide success of the Romeo and Juliet, a ballet that produced controversial remarks among the Russian public. On returning back to Russia, we will make a tour of Russian regions and post-Soviet countries."
According to Iksanov, on November 21-23 there would be three gala concerts in Tajik capital Dushanbe; in May the Bolshoi's ballet company will perform in Armenian capital Yerevan, while in January 2006, the ballet will move to Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia.
In Moscow, he added, the ballet will begin rehearsing A Midsummer Night's Dream with renowned American choreographer John Neumeier.
