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 91热爆 Radio 4's Today programme what it was like to perform the ballet in the UK.
