Since I love photography, I strongly recommend you to have a photosession on Theatre Square, where the Bolshoi Theatre is, the mecca of ballet of Russia.
Couple of facts about the ballet:
Fact 1.
Mikhail Baryshnikov is the richest ballet dancer in the world, $45 Million
Virtuoso classical technique and purity of style
combined in his art with incredible physical strength that made Baryshnikov one
of the most famous representatives of the male dancers in the 20th century.
Filmed in the last series of the last season of "Sex and the City" as a Russian artist Alexander Petrovsky, another lover of Carrie Bradshaw. By the way, right after their dating scene, Peter invites famous author in the restaurant "Russian Samovar" in NYC , where he treats her with a variety of dishes and tea with cherry, asserting that it is the national drink (after vodka, of course)
Fact 2
Rudolf Nureyev was the second richest ballet dancer in the world, $7.9 Million (based on value of estate after his death)
Being one of the most powerful ballet dancers of the 20th century, he became an instant sensation in the Soviet Union. More important is not the number of his viewers as much as the impression produced by his personality and sacrifice at every performance. This phenomenon he expressed like this: "At each pas must lie an imprint of your own blood."
Of four children, he was the only son. His family was of Tatar origin of the Bashkir Soviet Republic.
His living conditions were shocking: a rare food, terrible roads, long winter, extreme cold. He lived in extreme poverty and ate mostly boiled potatoes.
When Rudolf went to school everybody mocked at him because he had no shoes and wore sister's coat...
