Russian Ballet Returned to the Stage. Then a Covid Outbreak Hit.

Title (Dublin Core)

Russian Ballet Returned to the Stage. Then a Covid Outbreak Hit.

Description (Dublin Core)

This article discusses the Mariinsky Ballet, one of Russia's premier ballet companies. As Europe is a bit ahead of the United States in reopening their performing arts, they began performing in July, in the middle of the COVID pandemic, only to have to close three weeks later when the virus spread throughout the ballet corps. Since then, the Mariinsky Ballet has been criticized for returning to the stage too early, despite the precautions they made against the virus. This incident has caused several other ballet companies across Europe to rethink their own return to the stage. In spite of these issues, many dancers are also wanting to return to the stage.
