The Alexandrov Red Army Choir and Ensemble gave a truly wonderful performance. The 40+ voice choir, full orchestra (including traditional instruments), soloists and dancers were all of the highest calibre.
Their rendition of 'Oh, Canada' was the best I've ever heard; powerful and moving. Almost three hours of beautiful, touching songs (traditional, romance).
The dancers were delightful. Their world-class artistry and athleticism was matched by their precision and humourous choreography.
A glimpse of the rich Russian culture.`

Favourite moment: Deep bass vocal soloist, singing 'Song of the Volga Boatmen'.
Balalaika soloist playing (with choir/orchestra) Csardas.
All dances! @
