The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow re-opened Friday night after six years of renovations. Read about the process of the renovation, history of the theatre, the reception in Russia, and the opening night gala here from BBC and here from the New York Times. Below is a video of the opening night gala performances that includes excerpts from many famous operas and ballets.
As the video is 2 hours and 17 minutes long, I suggest skipping to the 1hr 22min mark to watch an exquisite dancing of the white swan pas de deux. The orchestra is incredible and the ballerina dancing Odette moves with an unparalleled grace and beauty rarely seen in contemporary incarnations of the role.
