The host discusses the upcoming holiday season and reads a fairy tale she authored about ballet shoes. She mentions that the book will soon be published with illustrations by Anastasia Orlova. The show is about the atmosphere of anticipation and magic associated with the holiday season.
The episode is a radio program by Evgeny, discussing the ballerina Ulanova, specifically her performance in the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" choreographed by Leonid Lavrovsky with music by Sergei Prokofiev. Evgeny discusses the uniqueness of Ulanova's performance and how Lavrovsky waited for the chance to choreograph a Shakespearean work. Initially, the music was difficult for the ballet theater to understand, and Ulanova expressed her dislike for it, but eventually, the ballet became a unique and highly regarded work.
The podcast "Referee Radio Russia FM" has started a series of programs dedicated to Galina Ulanova on the occasion of her 105th birthday. The host considers Ulanova one of the brightest names in world art and a symbol of Russian ballet, along with Anna Pavlova and Maya Plisetskaya. The podcast discusses how Ulanova has become an ideal for audiences, colleagues, and artists alike, and how her talent has inspired many famous contemporaries such as Boris Pasternak, Sergei Eisenstein, and Faina Ranevskaya. The host also mentions that Alexei Tolstoy once called Ulanova an "ordinary goddess."
The radio program "How does a dance sound" with author Eugenia discusses the famous Russian ballerina Galina Ulanova. Born in 1910, Ulanova was raised by a family of ballet artists and began her ballet training at a young age. Her mother, Marina Romanova, was her first teacher, and she taught Ulanova to stand properly and to dance the Italian polka. Ulanova made her debut as a child in the Opera "Snow Maiden," and her first performance as an adult was with the Mariinsky Theatre. Ulanova's serious expression and deep gaze made it difficult for her to smile, even during performances.
The radio program on Orpheus Bolide FM discussed the life and work of the great ballerina Galina Ulanova. The discussion focused on her career in Moscow and the significant events that shaped her life during that period. The program also mentioned a film about Ulanova's life, named "In the World of Ulanova," which was made in honor of her 70th birthday. The film includes footage of Ulanova at her favorite place, Seliyer, where she loved to seek solitude. The discussion also included an anecdote about Stalin, who saw Ulanova dance at a government concert in Moscow and called her "our classic." This statement changed the course of Ulanova's life, making her an indispensable part of government concerts and ensuring her status as a legend of classical dance.
