The Russian Ballet and altogether Russian Ballet history has been always .. how should I put this. In all their glory they have not forgotten about those who could not afford a ticket to go see ballet and so it is unusual for a Russian theatre (at least the old ones, no idea what they build nowadays) not to have a paradise gallery. Or galjorka, as the Russians call it. The prices for the places at the top of the theatre were cheep, so that practically every single person on the streets could afford it. A noble act, in my opinion.

The "noble act" of the Russian Ballet Theatre - The Bolshoi Theatre (meaning "the big theatre") of nowadays is the Live Stream of few ballets. For example, sending the ballet "Don Quixote" live for 480 cinemas all over the world. As I think about how full our cinema was, I can only imagine how many people were active watching the ballet. About the tickets- at our place costed not much, and this is supposed to be actually meaning something as we both, me and Ivon, are students.

Oh, and I absolutely love this picture! :) Makes me smile and somehow.. nostalgic? Even though I visited the ballet studio only when a small child.
