Podcasts about bolshoi theatre

Natalia Proops: “When I was eight, I went with my parents to the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow to watch the Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky. It was staged at the time by Marius Petipa, and it was pure magic. Imaginal exposure for children that I still find absolutely beautiful. Walking around in a beautiful dress looking at Buckingham Palace in London, when I was twenty-one, I felt the connection of beauty within the world. The thought that ran through my mind was, “I can now see the world”.  The first time I did an ikebana, a Japanese flower arrangement, I was in my thirties, and a student in New Zealand. Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers, which translates to “making flowers come alive”. In ikebana, the key consideration is to use as few stems and leaves as possible in composing elegant contours that highlight the flowers' beauty. Three to five years are required to acquire the technical and expressive skills. Sogetsu is a modern school of the Japanese art of flower arranging, which was part of the school I attended. My first arrangement, which was the simplest one, amazed me that it really was ikebana. I could not believe I had actually done it.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Natalia Proops. Find out how creating beauty can enhance your life.

Here is an expanded rewrite of the article: Controversial Former Fox Host Tucker Carlson Secretly Interviews Putin in Moscow Amid Backlash Over Russian State Media Appearances In a stunning development already triggering diplomatic ripples, former right-wing Fox News television personality Tucker Carlson has reportedly conducted an exclusive interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the anchor's mysterious visit to Moscow this week according to Russian media outlets as well as prominent political journalist Alexey Venediktov. While details remain undisclosed regarding specifics of the conversation or planned airing, the news adds incendiary new twists to Carlson's post-Fox career pivot increasingly marked by embracing authoritarian propaganda platforms after his primetime show cancellation in 2023 over alleged pro-Russia rhetoric echoing Kremlin narratives criticizing Ukraine. Carlson, long both a polarizing and top rated host on Rupert Murdoch's conservative Fox News network with his show Tucker Carlson Tonight attracting millions of nightly American viewers at its peak influence up until April 2022, has courted intense controversy frequently since being abruptly fired without cause by Fox's management team last spring amidst rising backlash surrounding Carlson's consistently friendly on-air posture toward's Putin's political interests. Following cancellation, the TV commentator further enflamed partisan tensions by promptly partnering with various alternative fringe media entities and unapologetically aligning coverage with authoritarian state messaging from regimes in Russia, Hungary and beyond critical of America's traditional European allies. Per investigative reporting piecing together Carlson's latest renegade media activities, he has spent an increasing amount of months regularly broadcasting his show Tucker Carlson Today from Budapest thanks to Hungarian leader Viktor Orban granting special long-term residency privileges and platforming the anchor's show domestically to boost Orban's nativist political visibility suppressing liberal opponents. Now through revelation of a major Vladimir Putin interview likely airing imminently this week, indications crystalize of Carlson evolving into essentially a global celebrity roving ambassador promoting messaging from illiberal governments positioning themselves against European Union and NATO unity. While the extent of logistics coordinating or financial exchange enabling the Carlson-Putin discussion remain undisclosed, Russian television outlets reported spotting the recognizable media figure visiting central Moscow landmarks including the historic Bolshoi Theatre earlier this month alongside a small entourage and security detail indicating intentional public visibility. When a local video journalist contacted Carlson inquiring his reasons visiting Russia, the anchor allegedly gave a non-committal yet suggestive response: "We'll see." according to tapes of the informal exchange. Shortly thereafter on February 1st, investigative journalists pieced together commercial flight records showing Carlson departed Istanbul, Turkey bound for the Russian capital along with three American associates. Within days, prominent Russian political commentator Alexey Venediktov who previously edited Moscow's lone independent radio station Echo of Moscow before its government closure for dissenting coverage shared online postings stating his inside understanding that Carlson's Russia trip centered arranging the Putin interview, later adding he believes recording finished successfully per Kremlin sources. "As far as I understand, Tucker Carlson got what he wanted from his Russia visit” wrote the authoritative journalist about the prospective interview's completion. Given Tucker Carlson's steadily transforming role laureling authoritarian rulers through exclusive interviews as international muckraker anchoring his own self-made media operation, this high stakes Putin meeting promises triggering intense partisan reactions upon airing given the war criminal Russian dictator's status as global pariah because ongoing atrocities sanctioned devastating Ukraine for a year now. While the full interview's eventual emergence remains hypothetical presently and could face various broadcast delays or cancellation by Carlson if public previews ignite sufficient backlash, present reporting confidently asserts the clandestine Putin discussion already finished taping barring an unlikely hoax. Some analysts speculate Carlson may launch the interview through his subscription streaming platform Daily Caller+, which critics allege propagates conspiratorial right wing disinformation detached from mainstream credibility standards. By contrast, others note if Carlson managed licensing the exclusive Putin conversation to a sizable television platform, the sheer shock value alone could garner massive enough viewership short term potentially reestablishing the anchor as a bankable commodity tarnished since losing Fox's distribution power. Beyond hand-wringing related to offering murderous autocrat Vladimir Putin more unrestricted publicity opportunities though, deeper issues percolate regarding former top US cable news anchor Carlson evidently displaying scant ethical issues cooperating extensively with repressive regimes limiting press freedom significantly, then funneling selective state propaganda aimed explicitly counteracting American foreign policy interests. Some international relations experts shudder to witness in real time the explosive impacts that politicized media personalities abroad historically played weakening unstable democracies through sowing partisan rancor and misinformation divorced from factual realities. They shudder recognizing in Carlson's transformation eerie historical echoes of arch-propagandist radio voices that seduced credulous legions toward betraying greater goods under auspices warping truth for personalized glory wrapped in fake populism. While profound complexities and nuances permeate geopolitical realities always, Tucker Carlson's unfolding choices embracing authoritarian media partnerships draw increasing scrutiny from all partisan directions. His credibility and integrity appear severely compromised to never again qualify for hosting legitimate journalism. Whether his next act truly constitutes a nihilistic will-to-power expressing latent megalomania no longer shackled pretending principle loyalty to any democratic ideals, or instead manifestations of an unwell psyche requiring clinical evaluation, the critical consensus acknowledges profound tragedy seeing rare platform gifts callously exploited for pure personal opportunism instead stewarding a healthier society. The only uncertainties involve precisely quantifying future damages deliberately unleashed after another landmark interview giving comfort and offering monsters morally indefensible redemption.

The Metropol Hotel is located near the Bolshoi Theatre in downtown Moscow. When it opened in 1901 it was the symbol of Russia's growing prosperity. After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, it was often used by Lenin to give speeches at so-called party congresses. During World War II, the Metropol became a home and office for almost all foreign journalists allowed to work in the U.S.S.R. British journalist Alan Philps, our guest this week, has written a book about those days titled "The Red Hotel: Moscow 1941, the Metropol Hotel, and the Untold Story of Stalin's Propaganda War."    Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Joanne sits down, across time zones, with Gina Tse, to discuss Gina's artistic vision and the freedom of creating a dance organization from the ground up and in doing so is instilling the mission of "giving back — teaching from the heart to spread the joy of dance". By keeping the love of the art form, the well-being of her students, and the leadership of her staff at the forefront, Gina has taken both her extraordinary dance and theater background as well as her professional career as a principal dancer with the Royal Swedish Ballet, to create a school where the joy of artistry is nurtured and the vehicle of dance is used as the building blocks of life. Gina Tse began her ballet training at 3 years of age and commenced her pre-professional training at The Royal Ballet School in London seven years later. She was a dancer with English National Ballet before joining The Royal Swedish Ballet  in 2004. There, she was promoted to First Soloist in 2007 and Principal Dancer in 2011–– the same year she was awarded Dancer of the Year in Stockholm.

The three works featured on this recording each have a connection with the trumpeter Timofei Dokshizer. Born in Nizhyn (in the Chernihiv region, now Ukraine) on 13 December 1921, he commenced his concert activity on All-Union Radio when barely 20, and then, in 1947, gained first prize at a competition in Prague. Although he enjoyed a notable career as a soloist, he was also for many years principal trumpeter with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, from which his distinctive tone can be heard on many commercial and archival recordings of the operatic and ballet repertoire. He pursued a distinguished academic career, being a professor at the Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow for a quarter-century and giving classes at the International Trumpet Academy in Bremen throughout the 1990s. He died in Vilnius on 16 March 2005, having done much to expand both the solo and the concertante repertoire for his instrument.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Paul Merkelo (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

Hello, I'm Damien Pestell from Be Your Business and welcome to this episode of HIP Biz where I speak to business owners about how they have created a successful business they love, what matters most to them and what they have learnt on their journey so far. This week I speak with Olga Mamonova who owns and runs Kino Teatr, an arts venue in the heart of St Leonards with her husband Russell. The Kino opened its doors in 2014 but the building first opened as a cinema in 1913. Olga talks about rescuing this hidden gem when it was being used as storage space for a bathroom shop and how they got a lot of the kit for the cinema second hand an how the Kino has since developed into the cultural heartbeat of the town. I discover what life was like in 1970's Moscow in the Communist Soviet Union - Olga loved her life there and fondly remembers how the arts were easily accessible to her and her family. She attended music school with children from a wide variety of backgrounds and often went to shows at the Bolshoi Theatre for just £5! Her father was a novelist, translator and poet, he specialised in the connection between different cultures and had a passion for Japanese culture. He came from a poor background but raised Olga and her sister to have his values about culture being the most important thing in life. She grew up having a strong passion for her own and other cultures and pursued a career in the arts, working at a contemporary art gallery in Moscow where she met her husband Russell, an artist himself. Finally we talk about the importance of culture to a community, The importance of St Leonards culturally and what it was like starting an arts business not long after the biggest recession ever. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hastings-independent-press/message

In 1949, communist leaders formalized the division of a nation with the creation of the German Democratic Republic. In the West, this was portrayed as an opportunistic act by puppets of the Soviets who wished to impose their ideology on Eastern Europe. But the story of German communism began long before 1949. In this episode, I will examine the roots of the ideology. Its adherents, growth, and the factors that led to the creation of the totalitarian state widely known as East Germany.

With apologies for the quality of this interview, where technology between the UK and Russia wasn't always reliable, but this is nevertheless a great interview with an outstanding sax player, Igor Butman.We had a fascinating discussion about his music and the bridge he is constantly building between Moscow and New York. His new album - Only Now -  is available now. I cannot recommend it highly enough and I hope the two tracks I've included here give some indication of the quality you'll enjoy. And if you have ever considered a trip to Moscow, this time next year will be the time to go, when Igor is set to help celebrate 100 years of Russian jazz with a concert at the renowned Bolshoi Theatre on 1 October 2022. Thanks to Igor for allowing me to play extracts from Only Now alongside our conversation. Follow me on instagram.com/hilaryrwriterFollow me on facebook.com/HilaryRobertsonFreelanceWriterFollow me on twitter.com/hilaryrwriterSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/HWpodcast)

(Originally aired in April 2021) Francesco Ventriglia is a dancer, choreographer and artistic director. Making his premiere at La Scala, he's performed with the Bolshoi Theatre, the Mariinsky Ballet, Grand Theatre du Geneve, the Venice Biennale. He became Europe's youngest artistic director in 2010 when he was appointed by the Florence Opera House, and was the artistic director of the Royal New Zealand Ballet during the middle of the last decade. He's now in Sydney as the co-founder and artistic director of the Sydney Choreographic Centre, which was launched in March, and has its premier performance this month at the Parramatta Riverside Theatres.

Today I am talking to countertenor Daniel Keating-Roberts. We discuss the importance of creative minds channeling over linear matter, we consider potential ways in which the pandemic has left a positive mark on the performance industry, and Daniel shares his enthusiasm and interest in performance psychology.Daniel studied in Sheffield, before completing his Masters at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, with awards from the Foyle Foundation and the Countess of Munster Trust. He also won the 2009 Guildhall aria competition. In 2010, he became the first counter-tenor to be accepted onto the English National Opera's Operaworks programme and in 2014, Daniel was awarded a ‘Golden Mask' award, a ‘special jury prize' with a team for his work in the title role of Franziskus (Sergei Nevsky) at the Bolshoi Theatre. Daniel has performed with opera companies all over the world and currently lives in Hamburg, Germany. Outside of performing, Daniel is a singing teacher and educator with a specialism in performance coaching. Alongside his individual studio, Daniel has worked with several different opera companies and music colleges to deliver workshops and coaching. His workshops are now in demand for corporate team building and creativity exploration, offering businesses the same fun and self-awareness we enjoy as performers. Recently, Daniel began his first project as producer for a site-specific work in East London, working with private firms to encourage dialogue with the communities they exist alongside. A founder member of Voces8, Daniel has previously been Corporate Events and Training manager for the New London Orchestra, and held roles within the charity MAMA, an organisation working in Mozambique, Africa. Daniel still works as an agent in London, organising performers for private events and studio recordings for film and computer games. www.danielkrsinging.com www.counter-tenor.co.ukwww.facebook.com/danielkrsinging

This week on Women of War we take to the skies on a witch's broomstick - or the Polikarpov Po-2 biplane if you want official military terminology. Join Hannah and Nicola as they discuss the first women to engage in aerial combat in WWII, the Soviet Night Witches, and how these women came to bomb the Nazis when women had been bared from active combat roles.   This episode contains references to wartime atrocities, aerial disasters and the conditions facing German and Russian soldiers on the Eastern Front during World War II, which were not very good. It also contains some bad language and will not be suitable for all listeners.   Women of War is recorded on Wurundjeri Land.

Don Quixote is a ballet in four acts and eight scenes, based on episodes taken from the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. It was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa to the music of Ludwig Minkus and first presented by the Ballet of the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, Russia on 26 December 1869. Petipa and Minkus revised the ballet into a far more expanded and elaborated edition in five acts and eleven scenes for the Imperial Ballet, first presented on 21 November 1871 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre of St. Petersburg. ​ All modern productions of the Petipa/Minkus ballet are derived from the version staged by Alexander Gorsky for the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow in 1900, a production the ballet master staged for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg in 1902.

Many world-renowned ballet productions, from Swan Lake to Romeo and Juliet, have graced the stage of the legendary Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow since the 1800s. No matter what wars and revolutions the Russians confronted, the Bolshoi would find a way to stay open. That is, until COVID-19. The theatre closed down for six months this year because of the pandemic. It relaunched in the fall, and it's getting ready for a busy Christmas season. Today on Front Burner, CBC Russia correspondent Chris Brown on how the Bolshoi is handling the threat of COVID-19, as Russia deals with one of the highest coronavirus case totals in the world.

Swan Lake, Op. 20, is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875–76. Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular of all ballets. The scenario, initially in two acts, was fashioned from Russian and/or German folk tales and tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger. The ballet was premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet on 4 March 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Although it is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the 1895 revival of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, first staged for the Imperial Ballet on 15 January 1895, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. For this revival, Tchaikovsky's score was revised by the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre's chief conductor and composer Riccardo Drigo.

“How did you become what you are, Pasha?” Praskovya Angelina, affectionately known as Pasha Angelina, takes issue with an American Encyclopaedia's recognition of her as being a 'distinguished person'. In this autobiographical piece she lays out the story of her life from peasant farmer to deputy of the Supreme Soviet and takes us on a journey through collectivisation and the Soviet psyche during some of the most hopeful, and the most desperate times of modern human history. Join us as we discuss Pasha Angelina's 'My Answer to an American Questionnaire', in which we learn the about the strength and humility of this Hero of Socialist Labour, contrast the mindsets of people living under socialism with those living under capitalism, discover the indomitable spirit of the Soviet people and learn how one of the most distinguished citizens of her era understood the concept fame. This episode is part of our series on Marxist feminists. As Mao and Thomas Sankara said, “Women hold up the other half of the sky.” Red Book Club recognizes that including the voices of nonmen in our studies is not a niche activity, but is in fact an essential step in gaining the most comprehensive view of the material conditions of the past and present as we possibly can; so we’ve planned this series to amplify the ideas that nonmen have been bringing to the conversation for centuries. From Federici’s analysis of women as a means of primitive accumulation to Luxemburg’s essay of the benefits of revolution vs the impossibility of reform, each of these works confronts history and the movement for social change through the lens of the experiences of nonmen in society.

Don Quixote de la Mancha enters, reading a book. He goes to the bookcase and, not finding it, believes it has been stolen by evil magicians. Then he settles into an armchair and continues reading. He delights in stories of brave knights, fabulous giants and other fantastical creatures, but most of all Don Quixote dreams of his beloved Dulcinea, a woman that he believes to be so lovely and noble that she must be divinity. Gradually he nods and falls asleep to dream of their romantic adventures. Darkness falls. Suddenly his servant, Sancho Panza, climbs hurriedly through the window. In pursuit are several angry women from the market from whom he has stolen bread and a chicken. Awakened by the commotion, Don Quixote sends the women away. Don Quixote tells Sancho that he is determined to seek adventures as a knight-errant, all the while searching for his beloved Dulcinea. He shows him the pasteboard helmet, which, with one sweep from his sword, becomes a shapeless mass on the floor. Antonina suggests that he should use a shaving basin instead, which would make a splendid helmet. Don Quixote enthusiastically agrees and, placing it on his head, orders Sancho to bring him his armour, sword and spear, and to make ready his horse, Rocinante. Act I A market-place in Barcelona Kitri, an inn-keeper's daughter, steals out of her house to meet her beloved, the barber Basilio. Her father, Lorenzo, sees the lovers and sends Basilio away, bringing Kitri to tears. Now comes the rich nobleman Gamache, who, likewise in love with Kitri, goes to Lorenzo and asks for his daughter's hand. The innkeeper accepts with delight but Kitri, appalled at the thought of wedding the foppish nobleman, runs away. Dancing begins in the square and some toreadors try to kidnap the girls they fancy, but their relatives and lovers hasten to their aid. At this moment Don Quixote arrives mounted on Rocinante, followed by Sancho, who is riding a donkey. At his master's command Sancho sounds his rusted horn, causing the townspeople to cover their ears. Lorenzo runs out of his inn, and Don Quixote, taking him for the lord of a famous castle, dismounts Rocinante and, falling to his knees, begs to be allowed to serve him. Charmed, Lorenzo invites the knight to sit on his balcony. Sancho remains in the square where he is surrounded by girls who induce him to take part in a game of blind man's bluff. Then some boys bring in a blanket on which they place Sancho and proceed to toss him into the air. Don Quixote hurries to his assistance and sets him free. Peasants gather in the square and dancing resumes. Kitri returns and, noticing her, Don Quixote acclaims her as his Dulcinea, whom evil magicians have reduced to human form. Becoming jealous of her affection for Basilio, Don Quixote attempts to woo her by partnering her in a minuet. Lorenzo berates Kitri for carrying on with Basilio. Kitri and Basilio then run away, and Lorenzo and Gamache follow them. Don Quixote orders Sancho to bring Rocinante, so that he may also set out in pursuit. Act II Scene 1 – A camp of gypsies among the windmills outside the village Kitri, disguised as a boy is seen walking with Harlequin from a troupe of travelling actors. They guess she is a girl and ask her to stay with them. Scene 2 - The Puppet Theatre A clown is seen walking with Graziosa, the gypsy chief's daughter. A gypsy tells the chief of the approach of Don Quixote. The chief plans a trick for his benefit and, putting on a mantle crown, sits down as though he were a king on a throne. Don Quixote is deceived and kneels to the chief in homage. The chief bids that he sit beside him and orders a festival to be given in his honor. This begins with Gypsy dances and is followed by a performance of the marionette theatre. Don Quixote is delighted with the entertainment but, mistaking the heroine for his Dulcinea and the marionettes for soldiers attacking her, he rises to assault them. The gypsies are terrified. At this moment the clown and Graziosa run away. Scene 3 - The Windmills Flushed with victory, the knight kneels and renders thanks to heaven. Seeing the moon, he takes it for his Dulcinea and tries to get to her. As he approaches the windmills he can see the moon no longer and thinks that evil magicians have hidden his beloved mistress. So, spear in hand, he tilts at the wings of the windmill, which he mistakes for a giant. Alas, the knight is caught by one of the wings and flung into the air. He falls unconscious at Sancho's feet. Scene 4 – A forest Through the trees appears Sancho leading Rocinante, upon which sits the wounded Don Quixote. The servant lifts his master down and places him on the grass, so that he may rest. Then, tying up the horse, he goes to sleep. Don Quixote also tries to sleep, but is troubled by fantastic dreams. Scene 5 – The enchanted Garden of Dulcinea Fairies appear surrounded by gnomes and Don Quixote finds himself dressed in shining armor. Then comes a succession of fearsome monsters, the last being a gigantic spider, who spins a web. The knight attacks the spider, which he slashes in half with his sword. At that same moment the spider's web vanishes to reveal a beautiful garden, filled with dryads and beautiful women, presided over by the Queen of the Dryads and Amor. Among them is Dulcinea and Don Quixote kneels before his beloved. At this moment everything vanishes. Act III The Square Back at the square, Kitri and Basilio join those who are dancing. At the height of the merriment, Lorenzo and Gamache arrive, followed by Don Quixote and Sancho. Seeing his daughter, Lorenzo decides to give his blessing to her union with the nobleman Gamache. Basilio becomes annoyed and, reproaching Kitri for her unfaithfulness, draws a sword and stabs himself. As he lies dying he begs Lorenzo to unite him with Kitri, but Lorenzo and Gamache refuse. Don Quixote approaches Gamache and challenges him to a duel for having refused a dying man's wish. Gamache declines to fight and the merrymakers drive him out of the inn. Taking pity, Lorenzo agrees to unite Basilio and Kitri. At this moment, Basilio pulls out the sword and tells everyone it was a joke. Act IV The Tavern A magnificent feast is held in honour of Don Quixote. Suddenly the Knight of the Silver Moon challenges him to a duel, which results in the latter being vanquished. The victorious knight proves to be none other than Bachelor Sanson Carrasco, who forces Don Quixote to vow that he will not unsheathe his sword for a whole year. The sorrowful knight, true to his vow, takes up his warlike gear and, followed by Sancho, sets out for home.

You can dance if you want to. And wear a tutu, too! Robert Carter is a dancer with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, an all-male drag ballet company that pays tribute to – and pokes fun at – the classical Russian stars of dance. The male dancers portray ballerinas (with great names like Ida Nevaseyneva), using their incredible athleticism to dance on pointe and exaggerate traditional choreography for comic effect. Robert was one of four dancers in the company featured in the documentary Rebels on Pointe, a Bobbi Jo Hart film revealing the history of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Robert Carter’s story runs parallel to that of the fictional Billy Elliot. He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, in a working-class family. His mother made sure that he and his sisters were exposed to the arts, and Robert was involved in community theatre at a very early age. The man who would become his dance teacher noticed him singing a solo at the Spoleto Festival and approached Robert’s mother to offer the opportunity for ballet lessons. Robert attended his first class when he was seven, and he has been dancing ever since. After high school, Robert received a scholarship to take a summer course in New York with the Joffrey Ballet School. His impressive resume also includes roles with the Bay Ballet Theatre, the Florence Civic Ballet, and the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble. Robert joined Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo in 1995, and in his 23 years with the company, he has performed at some of the grandest venues in the world, including the Bolshoi Theatre and the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Today he shares his journey from Charleston to New York and beyond, explaining the challenges of being gay in the South, the message of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, and his experience being featured in the documentary film about the company.

Lemeshev-mania Lemeshev's talent, artistry, acting skills and conspicuous charm very quickly made him a public idol. Almost all his performances during the 1930s and 1940s were accompanied by crowds of fans followed him through the streets, spending days and nights near his house. [1] While Lemeshev was one of the leading tenors of the Bolshoi Theatre, he was admired by female fans, who were jokingly called "lemeshistki." The theatre lobby was a venue for scuffles between the "lemeshistki" and the "kozlovityanki" (female fans of Lemeshev's rival Ivan Kozlovsky).[2] Additionally, the film "The Musical Story" (1941) [3] in which he played the main role, brought him the Stalin prize, and even more widespread furore and fame all over the USSR.
