not a fan of the red and blue, looks like a debate of the presidential election

@tutus4life - for some reason, the mariinsky made the colors of the costumes far more vibrant than the original designs required.

@tutus4life I agree!! Beautiful dancing but their costume colors are awful. Russians are not known for their taste.

The original green and pink was much better...Kirov ballet what are you doing???This is a masterpiece that should be left alone!!!!!!!
