The promoter has invested heavily in his dream of bringing the Bolshoi to Vegas, but the venture is beset with problems from the start and tensions mount. The Bolshoi are bewildered by their lukewarm reception, recalling that during their 1959 landmark tour, ecstatic audiences threw so many bouquets that they "walked on flowers all the way to our hotel". Kirov in Petersburg traces the development of an institution, which is both irremediably altered and condemned to trade on its past... Less

The two directors of MIRIS had spent five years researching state archives, museums and private collections, discovering many wonderful items that had never been shown anywhere. For the... Less
