Swan is on the menu again this summer

The ENB's dancers are probably just as happy to be out of London right now, where swan feathers have reportedly been flying for the past two weeks in what one wire agency billed as the “war of the tutus.” The Bolshoi and St. Petersburg's Mariinsky (Kirov) are both in town, with the Kirov at the ENB's home base, the Colisium, while the Bolshoi have taken over the Royal Opera House just a short distance away.
