The Royal Opera House has the casting for the Bolshoi's tour in July-August 2006 on its website:

Many thanks, coda for the info

(But, waaaaaah -- I was hoping for Bright Stream to be presented on the first weekend, so that I could stitch together SFB in NYC and then off to London, and now the whole plan is in flames....)

Thanks for the posting Coda.

I just bought tickets by first registering for the E-mail list of Victor Hochhauser, and then using the provided password for ordering from Royal Opera House on the internet.

I also ordered by phone if I didn't like the seats offered on the internet. The ROH has a nice feature of letting you see the stage view you'll have with a click from a selected seat.

So I look forward to Pharaoh's Daughter with Lunkina, Bright Stream with Lunkina/Alexandrova,

Swan Lake with Alexandrova, and Cinderella with Krysanova!

Are you missing the premiere of "The Queen of Spades" in the West, Chiapuris?

Unfortunately, Coda, I am missing Pique Dame and Tsiskaridze.

And Go for Broke with its stellar cast, and Symphony in C.

It's just a matter of time constraints, since I'm also seeing the Mariinsky Shostakovich ballets on the 27 and 28 of July,
