Russian ballet shows in South Korea cancelled for a second time
A highly anticipated ballet show in South Korea featuring principal dancers from Russia’s prestigious Bolshoi Ballet was abruptly cancelled for the second time, just a day before the opening night. The sudden cancellation has left fans disappointed and puzzled, as tensions between Seoul and Moscow continue to escalate over issues related to Ukraine and North Korea.
The last-minute decision to call off the performances came after a similar incident in March, when a ballet starring Svetlana Zakharova, a Ukrainian-born Russian prima ballerina known for her support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was also cancelled in Seoul.
