The second half of the release features a rendition of The Rite of Spring by the Moscow Classical Ballet, originally mounted and performed in 1990, with choreography by Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilev; the cast in that set includes Ilgiz Galimullin, Valeria Tsoi, Vera Timashova, and Sergei Vanaev. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
