The Bolshoi Theater is one of Russia's premier cultural institutions, best known for "Swan Lake" and the other grand classical ballets that grace its stage.
The National Ballet of Canada recently premiered a new rendition of Romeo and Juliet by acclaimed Russian choreographer Alexei Ratmansky, and upcoming works include SwanLake and Cinderella.
The benefits of the less than averagely bipedal performing SwanLake are not really amenable to fiscal analysis: but we do need some method of working out whether you and I should have to pay for their diversity outreach advice.
Usually known for classic productions such as The Nutcracker and SwanLake, The Dream of the Red Chamber is a collaborative effort, with choreography by Wang Xin Peng, artistic director of Germany's Ballet Dortmund, and a musical score written by Oscar-winning composer Michael Nyman and performed by the Hong Kong Sinfonietta.
Little ones might enjoy working off some steam with a swing, slide and spin at the large playground just across from the imposing India Gate, or hop into a kitsch floating swan for a round of the boating lake nearby.
