On their virtual programme from tonight on and for the next two days: SPARTACUS!

And I can tell you guys, this is a whole step up from Il Corsaro. Aram Khachaturian composed wonderful music, with much more schwing and pomp for this spectacle.

Even totally uncultivated Orca was able to interpret what was going on. The whole topic of freeing the slaves is kinda commie, right? No wonder the soviets made a ballet from the Spartacus saga … some years before Hollywood came up with their own version.

Although I enjoyed Il Corsaro on Wednesday, today was even much besterer.

And, as if there was ever any doubt, the Bolshoi theatre is closed now and the famous twinkle toes are in lockdown like the rest of us less celestial beings.

Here’s the proof:

Next up on the 21st: Concert of soloists of the opera and orchestra. This is top notch stuff. Not to be missed!
