Learning the Russian names of the popular ballets
Russians are crazy about their ballet! Let's talk about our favorite ones.
Around New Year's Eve, all Russians are keen on seeing Tchaikovsky's 'The Nutcracker'. It's a time-honored tradition for many, and you can still barely find tickets all these years later.
Other top ballets include Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake', Prokofiev's 'Romeo and Juliet’ , 'Spartacus’ by Khachaturian, and ‘Don Quixote’, by Austrian composer Minkus... so, it's not a Russian monopoly!
