High Quality Entertainment for Social Distance Shut-Ins

As the pandemic continues to affect communities across the world, people are coming together in historic solidarity. Companies and organizations are many providing high quality programs, performances, movies and other forms of arts for people confined at home by the virus. Did we mention, they’re also free? 

The Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, a legendary performance venue, announced last week that the theater will livestream their best programs on their YouTube channel for free. Our team here at PLG has enjoyed 3 of them including Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and The Tsar’s Bride. 

Here are the dates for three more performances at: http://www.youtube.com/bolshoi 

April 4^th  – Marco Spada

April 7^th  – Boris Godunov

April 10^th – The Nutcracker

The program will be online for free view for a 24-hour period. Don’t miss them!
