Useful links for Bolshoi and ballet in Moscow


Recommended Posts

Edited to add Admin Note:Please read: Since this wonderful list was published, discussion boards and sites that allow comments have become the target of spammers, who drop a "great site!" message with a list of links to their porn, fake Rolex, drug, rip-off employment agencies, etc. sites. Please note that this is by no means limited to Russian sites!. We had to go through a painstaking process to eliminate this on Ballet Talk, and not all software allows the webmaster to do this.

A word of caution: if you go into the comments section of a site, please tread carefully, especially if you aren't fluent in the language and are clicking for pictures. URLs must be in Roman characters: read them carefully. And before you click, please be sure you trust the source.

Here are some useful links re the Bolshoi and ballet in Moscow:

* The official site of the Bolshoi Theatre:

http://www.bolshoi.ru/announces_new.shtml (Russian section)

http://www.bolshoi.ru/announces_eng.shtml (English section)

Again, as with the Mariinsky, the English section isn’t as frequently updated as the Russian one. The monthly schedule of the Theatre (now for the two stages) can be found on:

http://www.bolshoi.ru/cgi-bin/poster/poste...t.cgi?lang_id=2

* Informative, frequently updated and focusing on the Bolshoi dancers (with interviews and many photos) is:

http://www.bolshoi.net/index.htm (with a small section in English about Nikolai Tsiskaridze http://www.bolshoi.net/stars/tsiskaridze/index.htm )
