Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I have tickets to see Giselle tomorrow night, performed by the St Petersburg Festival Ballet.

The group of friends I'm going with includes a Russian and a Ukrainian.

The timing is a bit odd.

Not if you've got all your shots and the theater is not in Ukraine.

Ah. I thought for a moment that the Petrograd ballet was going there... sadly, no. It's the Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre.

I'm seeing Pikovaya Dama next month at La Scala. It was supposed to have been conducted by Gergiev, but he seems to have withdrawn after refusing to sign a loyalty oath
La direzione del teatro e il sindaco hanno concordato una lettera formale inviata a Gergiev: il direttore deve scrivere «una dichiarazione a favore della risoluzione pacifica dei conflitti», dopo le «generose prese di posizione a favore di Vladimir Putin», se vuole «continuare a collaborare con il Piermarini».
