Subscribe to the channel of the company to receive a reminder well in time. If you can’t make it, don’t fret, the theatre will keep the ballet recital available for 24 hours after the live stream on-demand online as well for you to catch up. Worried you might forget?

Amid the worldwide lockdown and a ban on all non-essential services across the world, the theatre had cancelled all previously scheduled tours and performances from March 27 to April 10, 2020. The theatre has said it wants to support people with art in these difficult times and help them navigate the isolation in the most meaningful ways possible. The historic ballet and opera house had first opened its doors for the public in 1825, it has since been counted among the greatest of Russia’s cultural treasures.

The live stream is one of many ways, the theatre is engaging with its audience, it has also started the #DanceWithBolshoi challenge on its YouTube channel urging people to maintain their exercise routine and unwind the stress through dancing with the talented artists of the company indoors.

It might not feel like Christmas, but a classic tale of magic and wonder is sure to help you kickstart the weekend in high spirits. Tune in and don’t miss the once-in-a-lifetime chance to watch the splendour unfold in the safety of your home.
