Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus to host aristocratic ball

13 января 2016

An aristocratic ball will traditionally be held at the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus on the eve of the Old Style New Year to feature music and dancing, from waltzes to polonaises. Preparations for the event began in November, when Bolshoi Theatre choreographers held lessons for those willing to try on the roles of Natasha Rostova and Andrei Bolkonsky.

This year’s ball will be held under the aegis of Ancient Greece. The astrological and historical salons are currently open at the Bolshoi Theatre, with poetry competitions held in the Theatre’s Chamber Hall.
