Ballet concert was held at the RUSSIA EXPO on Alexander Pushkin’s birthday
At the International RUSSIA EXPO, a ballet concert titled
"Ballet Stories: Russian Classics" took place, featuring the art
production "Pushkin in Ballet and Opera." The concert was held in
Pavilion No. 75 in the Cultural Projects Zone and was dedicated to the 225th
anniversary of the birth of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. Exposition guests
enjoyed 14 ballet and four cultural performances, all related to poems and
verses written by the great poet throughout his life.
The event featured ballerinas from Yegor Simachev's Ballet
Workshop, as well as the ballet artist and choreographer himself. He emphasized
the importance of preserving Alexander Pushkin's creative legacy and shared
several interesting facts about the poet.
"Alexander Pushkin wanted to visit China very much. He
was fascinated by the works of Confucius and dreamed of seeing the Great Wall
of China. However, the authorities did not allow him to travel, and he never
realized his dream. Nevertheless, in honor and respect for the great Russian
poet, a monument to him was erected in the city of Shanghai," said Yegor
Simachev.
The lecture "Transport Architecture of Russia," part of the educational series "Symbols of Time," took place at the National Centre RUSSIA.
From May 29 to August 17, applications are open for young journalists, bloggersб and media professionals from across the country.
On August 2 and 3, listeners of Radio Russia will have a unique opportunity to hear two episodes of the podcast "Dialogues about the Future" once again.
