Russian Ballet


  Russian ballet

Russia is well-known for its ballet. In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket.

There was a seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery’, that consisted of simple wooden benches. 

This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.

There are a lot of a ballet companies in Moscow, such as the Bolshoi Ballet.
