Bolshoi Sleeping Beauty Cinemacast casting

The Bolshoi will be streaming their Sleeping Beauty live to cinemas around the world on January 22. In Canada, Cineplex theatres will be showing the ballet starting at 1255 pm. Please check your local listings. See below for casting.

Do you love the Bolshoi and live in Toronto? I am trying to organize a special screening of Alexei Ratmansky's hilarious and very dancey ballet  The Bright Stream starring Svetlana Lunkina for the morning of Sunday February 12, but as the costs  involved are very high I need people to commit to the $25 ticket price ahead of time.
