Anna German_Concert Hall Mir_24 Oct'12

Image
Hey there, I want to share with you one of the best live concerts I've ever visited. It was on Oct. 24 at Concert Hall Mir near Tsvetnoy Bylevard metro station. It was an amazing show with the leading Russian and Ex-Soviet singers all of whom love Anna German. Stanislav and I are among them. We saw the film about Anna's tragic life (just as many people and families in our country in mid-20s,30s and 40s, my granddad was among them too). I wish I could see more things like that in my free time as they really help to survive in our hard times...Love and hugs to all of you...

Getting back from Suzdal

Hey there, here I am in Suzdal with a team of other teachers from all over Russia for coordination session held in Suzdal. It's our 3d session on the way to completing the book English for Academics (EFA). I'm reponsible for a Speaking Module with other 2 teachers - from Samara - Svetlana Suchkova and Ekaterinburg - Irina Pervukchina. Rod Bolitho, who is a leader from the UK side, is in charge of the whole procedure of the book development. We spent 4 days here and though we saw very little here, I got the impression of Suzdal as a very beautiful and truly Russian small city... Really worth coming here again. The hotel "Nikolaevsky Posad' is of high standard and I wish many cities in Russia could have at least one like that. Have a look at some pics I made here... Love and hugs to all...

New Misical Theatre in Moscow

Image
Hey there, I'd like to share with you my impressions I got at the New Musical Theatre in Moscow. It is located near Bagrationovskaya metro station and it used to be a Gorbunova Club before minister of culture Shvydkoi converted it into a modern theatre. It's really very well equipped, which makes it stand out among other theatres that show misicals on their stages. We saw a performance - 'Don't Judge the Time'. It's about RF and USA - sad love story of mid 30s and nowadays... In reality it was really sad but on the stage with young actors it was very romantic and spectacular. Love and hugs to all of you...
