Bolshoi ballet: Daria Khokhlova on performing at the Royal Opera House
The Bolshoi Ballet returns to London's Royal Opera House this summer for a series of performances.
Daria Khokhlova plays the role of Zina in The Bright Stream - a comic ballet about life on a Soviet collective farm with music by Shostakovich. The humour wasn't appreciated by Stalin and the piece was banned with one of its creators being sent to a gulag.
Ms Khokhlova told 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4's Today programme what it was like to perform the ballet in the UK.
