Raymonda is now up on the Bolshoi's website.

 

ETA: I'm getting a lot of glitching. Is anyone else? I'm only 8 minutes in & it's already frozen for several seconds 4 or 5 times.

I had to enable flash player and it works well now

I'm not comfortable putting all that information (why do they need to know my date of birth?) into a site that my browser is telling me is not secure.

Not everywhere. Half term is the following week for many.

I hope that works for you

Wow, that's a lot later than normal.

it seems to be in half term so those who work with children can watch, maybe a bit harder for parents though.

it would be good to know which was which.

I think that Tsiskaridze  while obviously a very talented dancer is also a bully. His way of teaching with fear is not the best way to instruct anyone. it is much better to use encouragement, example, passion, with high standards, it leads to a better developed emotional maturity in the students , who learn to have a greater confidence in themselves. While fear works, it is an inferior method. 

(I don't know how to edit a post so I am posting further thoughts this way.)
How much better, in my opinion, to have spoken privately to Kirill and if it  was considered that he didn't deserve a main part in the final to have given him a smaller role. There is no need for public humiliation, those in the know would see it.

Yes I agree, such lovely lines.

I honestly think Tsiskaridze is a bit of a bully, excluding Kirill from the graduation performance - I mean how petty / personal is that? It certainly wasn't professional. If Kirill was good enough to complete his training without being asked to leave, and also gain 4 in his final exam, despite being I'll, he was surely good enough to be in the graduation performance. It appears Kirill's successful audition at the Bolshoi was something Tsiskaridze couldn't accept, was it because Kirill independently contacted the Bolshoi or was is because it's Tsiskaridze's old company? I wish him and all the young men successful careers. And Tsiskaridze? Please try to nurture and encourage rather than pick favourites and bully others!

they have all been on before, but I know I miss things and hope to catch them on repeat.
