About two weeks ago the Bolshoi started to provide english subtitles for their "a Ticket to the Bolshoi" program.  The latest episode on their youtube channel has a feature on backstage at the Corsaire - same cast as the cinema transmission.  Also featured are Makvala Kasrashvili's anniversary gala and Evgenia Obraztsova's debut in "la Sylphide" with Slava Lopatkin.

The two other episodes with subtitles are:

April 11 - Olga Smirnova, Vladislav Lantratov and Anna Tikhomirova debut in "La Bayadere"; Deputy Director Anton Getman and his departments; soprano Elena Zelenskaya talking about herself.

April 16- the premiere of "Der Rosenkavalier"; a tour around the reconstructed Bolshoi Theatre; ballet coach Nina Semizorova; ballet dancer Denis Medvedev

It's a great move - It makes such a difference to understand what the dancers and staff are saying in the interviews.

Look at the menu bar on the bottom of the youtube picture screen.  If you see CC click on that.  If you don't see CC there are no captions.

You can't see the CC in this post until you click on the video.

I've spotted one more program with subtitles:

Feb 6 2012: the Bolshoi Ballet on tour in Japan; a glimpse into the work of the Bolshoi ushers; the portrait of an artist - bass Dmitry Belosesky; Ekaterina Krysanova's debut in Giselle. If you can't see subtitles automatically, press CC.

What's really good about these subtitles is that you don't need to have russian or english to understand the conversation.  There is an option to translate the english subtitles into many different languages
