BRAVO, BRAVO

Jessie and I attended the Bolshevik production of Swan Lake this evening. It was Fantastic. The original Bolshoi buildoing has been under construction for many years so the shows have been put on at the “new stage” across the street.  The dancers are incredible athletes; the costumes and stage decorations were phenomenal but most admirable were the flawless production! The music and performance were perfect! It is uplifting to see so many men standing and cheering and yelling BRAVO for their favorite ballet artist! Andrei says it is because Russian men are confident with them selves and their masculinity!!!

 

What a wonderful day…late Monday we fly the red-eye to Ulan Ude Buryatia. Just when we were starting to get the hang of this time zone we loose another 8 hours.
