  1. Bright Stream English site not ready as of 14 Sep, but ticket ordering in English is for November performances. Tickets may be purchased online at: http://boxoffice.bolshoi.ru/eng/sales.html Site instructions: If you don't have an account, register for one. If you have one, login. Scroll through the calendar until you see the month of the performance you want to attend. For the performance, select either "in picture," which will show you the theater with the available seats represented by colored dots, or "in table," which will allow you to choose tickets by price and section. Select the dot(s) for the seats you wish to purchase or check the seats from the list, and click "Add to Basket." Review the summary and confirm the order. Once confirmed, you'll get a confirmation number. Choose the payment method. If "cash" is an option, you must pick up the tickets within the time it says on the site, or they will be released. (Usually within 3 days.) If you choose credit card, you will pay through the ASSIST site (which the Mariinsky also uses). If your card has gone through, the confirmation page will show this in red type at the top of the page. Print the "confirmation certificate" from the confirmation page, and bring it with you when you pick up tickets at the box office. If you are not also bringing the credit card you used to make the purchase, jot down the last four digits of the credit card on the certificate. New Hall

  13. The separate programs are exceptionally beautiful. While I pull out the cast lists for most US programs, I cherish the program I purchased at the Bolshoi for the photos and the historical information about performances of Evgeni Onegin. Many thanks for everyone's input. I've never been to France before, and I'm looking forward to my very short visit there on my way to London.
  14. On the "Goodbye to newspapers?" thread beck_hen wrote, .Wikipedia is an open source, free online encyclopedia. For every article, there are several tabs, including discussion about the article, a history of edits, and the source itself. There are numerous articles from the Help Page which describe how to use, search, and edit existing articles and how to create new ones. (This page is also linked from the home page by clicking "Help" from the left hand menu.) A friend who is one of many -- I think several hundred -- moderators on the site told me that that material on ballet is weak, and the Wikipedians would appreciate contributions to the site on the topic. If you are interested in contributing, there are a few things you should know: 1. Articles are subject to revision by the entire community. While there are moderators who are on the lookout for gratuitious and spiteful edits, it can be frustrating to have to negotiate or justify content in discussion. They have a long and arduous arbitration process for "re-educating" and removing posters who would be shut down on Ballet Talk in several seconds flat. Like any community, getting a feel for how it works -- reading the discussion pages is a good start -- before jumping in is a good strategy, and the more reasonable, respectful, and knowledgeable posters are recognized fast and get the support of the core. 2. It is an encyclopedia, and it aims for facts, claims and information that are proportional to their importance in the issue, particularly in the opening and summaries. Citations are particularly important, and uncited material may be edited out or quarantined, to be reinstated when a citation is added. Gushing is usually edited out quickly. (The Michelle Kwan article comes to mind.) An entire article about a young soloist at ABT, for example, would be cut in all likelihood and perhaps edited into a general article about a new generation of dancers. 3. Contributors are welcome to translate existing articles in other languages to English and vice versa. The list of languages supported in Wikipedia is on the main page in the left hand column. 4. Whether a person or event is considered important enough to belong in an encyclopedia determines whether an article should be linked from a main article -- for example, if I mentioned a current PNB dancer in an overview article on the history of ballet, the reference would be removed -- or is a fan article, which would be removed. Putting a dancer in context helps to establish why a dedicated article should be there in the first place, particularly since ballet might not be an area where the moderators have a lot of experience. For example, many might not have heard of Alicia Markova or Alexandra Danilova any more than I would know who influenced rock music. The main aspect of Wikipedia is that it is a collaborative effort.
  15. Many thanks, zerbinetta! Two more questions -- do you mean when the ushers give you a cast list/program, or when you purchase one in the lobby (or none of the above)? And is gratuity in the one-two Euro range? I grew up in a house where no one went anywhere, and I wasn't able to observe any of the fine points.
