Does anyone know the complete Bolshoi North America tour schedule? What I find below are announcements for NYC & Orange county CA, but I would expect 4-5 more locations.

Thanks...

More on For Ballet Lovers Only

I have tkts. for both ballets at OCPAC.......have any of you seen The Bright Stream?
I am very curious about this ballet. I did read a bit of information on Marc's Ballet Lovers web site. How has it been received so far?

I enjoyed it a lot. It made the company look good - they obviously enjoyed it as well. The ballet has been received very well, for a large part also because not many thought the Bolshoi capable of pulling off a comedy. Even in Paris it made a triumph.

I wonder how American eyes will see it

I, too, loved it in Moscow. The Alexandrova/Filin cast is a special delight but the greatest kudos go to the ensemble and the many 'character' artists. This ballet is replete with tiny gems of character roles. I gave it five stars!

Do any of you know if casting has been made for the OCPAC performances yet?
After reading some posts here at BA, I am so curious as to which casts I will be viewing! Growing very excited.......
