Yesterday the ladies seated next to me in the auditorium were discussing the price of tickets to the Bolshoi, and concluded that it would be better to buy plane tickets and fly off to see "Spartacus" at the Novosibirsk Theatre. The company is splendid, the production is praised, and the Bolshoi is not currently staging "Spartacus" at all, so I do not condemn this rather original solution. As for myself, I am not sure what saving would make me ready to undertake a flight, but certainly not one of 20 thousand
