well hello guys i am currently in
mudding skate theater which is one of
the oldest theaters here in russia i
believe it was built in like 1860 so
it's been here quite a while and i knew
that on this trip I for sure wanted to
go to either by Choi in Moscow or
Mariinsky here in st. Petersburg I
decided to go with marine ski because
and they actually had some valets
playing for the dates that I was here
whereas well sure I had opera and I
can't say I'm a big opera fan but I am
on the other hand a big ballet fan and
I'm really excited to be here for a
ballet that I've actually never seen
before
it's called loss of feed I believe or
less sulfide my French isn't fantastic
but it is supposed to be kind of a
romantic tragedy of a ballet from my
understanding and has been around for a
very long time so I'm really excited to
see it but what's most important is that
I will be seeing this ballet on
Mariinsky 1 the original opera host that
they had here in st. Petersburg because
now they've actually built a second
stage which is called Medine ski 2 which
is right beside it and while it's a much
more modern beautiful sort of stage I
wanted to see the original opulence so
to say you know we're Russian dynasty
actually went to see the Arts

so the first half of the show just ended
and it was amazing it's actually set in
Scotland so all the guys were like until
it was like all tartan and I had looked
up the story beforehand because I find
sometimes if I go to a ballet and I
don't know the story you kind of don't
get all the mannerisms because obviously
they're just using their physical body
not words so it is kind of a sad story
because the main guy has this like
beautiful young woman who's in love with
him they're supposed to get married and
he keeps chasing this imaginary woman
who's like the silk lost self-five and
so at the end of the story does kind of
come out that he's no chasing his
imagination when the girl that has like
always loved him decides to leave him
and marries this other guys and so
basically it's like you went out for
burgers when you had steak at home but
just to give you guys another glance of
this beautiful theater because you
really can't get enough I don't think in
Canada or the states we have anything
even remotely close to the beauty of
theatres in Eastern Europe as you guys
will have seen in my ukraine vlogs there
theaters are also absolutely stunning
and what you're hearing right now is
actually the third Bell meaning that
everybody has to head back into the
theatre because the performance is about
to begin
usually with intermission you get three
bells so I'd recommend coming back by
the second Bell just so you don't get
locked out
[Music]
[Applause]
so that is the end of the show but kind
of weird situation that I have never
experienced in any other theatre that
I've been in the you literally just shut
off the lights in the main hall and you
know the little restaurants are all
totally closed in other words like get
the up yeah usually in Ukraine they
would like leave the lights on you can
smoke big pictures in the halls but I
guess that's not the case here I don't
know
so to summarize I had an amazing time I
would highly recommend coming here the
talent of the Russian ballet companies
is obviously number one in the world so
I had an amazing time I hope you guys
enjoyed this video let me know what you
thought in the comments down below and
until I see you guys next time
keep being young kind of beautiful bye
guys
