Ballet

"Classical ballet will never die," Ninette de Valois.

Yesterday we attended a live, telecast performance of the Bolshoi Ballet from Moscow. It was fabulous. It is so wonderful what www.balletincinema.com is doing with the Opera in Cinema series of ballet and opera performances. Ticket prices should one have been attending in Moscow were $349 US dollars. We paid $20 per ticket. The telecast features not only the performance, but also educational bits and behind-the-curtain scenes. I highly recommend these performances, if you are interested in either opera or ballet. One of the highlights of our trip to Russia was to attend the ballet there. Now it is possible just to drive to the nearest theater. It is a way for me to bring music and culture into our lives.
