Theatre weekend

On Friday evening it was Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. Excellent.



On Saturday "Raymonda". The soloists were cream of Kiev corps' de ballet and during the performance there were was a lot of applauding and shouting bravo. The public (and me too) especially liked Abderahman. He was great.

Tonight it was Aleko - the one act opera by Rachmaninoff. I have not expected much but was impressed by wonderful singing, superb dancing and amazing scenography . In the second part the Kiev corps de ballet danced Bolero. There were 51 dancers on the podium. Fantastic.
