“We started by touring the Soviet Union, we were not allowed to go abroad. And we know how enthusiastically Russian audience accepts our art. Today, the state allocates funds so that many companies can perform in the regions of the country, and Eifman Ballet is taking advantage of this opportunity,” notes Boris Eifman.
