Kazan -- (music John Lennon et al) Kazan Opera and Ballet Theatre

[Buddy]

This looks rather interesting from the Kazan Opera and Ballet Theatre today . I’ve only caught the last part live, but I’ll try to watch the rest. I particularly liked the one at 2:12:20 danced to John Lennon’s “Imagine.” (Video starts at 10:45)

I’ve watched this back to where I started, first each dance, then just segments of each. I had started at 1:53:45 followed  by Kristina Kretova (Bolshoi) performing a piece by Mauro Bigonzetti. If you start with these two you might get an idea of why this caught my interest. If you care to view this video you might do best starting there..
