The history of ballet is not only art but also a mirror of the eras. The art breakfast with historian Angelina Dronova is a rare opportunity to learn about the fates of great Russian ballerinas through personal stories, myths, and truths. Karsavina, Ulanova, Plisetskaya, Lopatkina - four names, four symbols of entire generations. Russian ballet is a global business card, a synonym for sophistication, strength of spirit, and high aesthetics. But behind this almost mythical image lie the fates of specific women whose names have become symbols of the era: Karsavina, Ulanova, Plisetskaya, Lopatkina. The art breakfast with historian Angelina Dronova offers a look at their biographies not as template success stories but as multilayered cultural phenomena reflecting the fate of Russia - from the empire to the post-Soviet period. What do the muses of Stalin, Baryshnikov, and Akhmatova have in common? Why did Karsavina inspire Anna Andreyevna, and why did Ulanova evoke awe in the Queen of Great Britain? How did Maya Plisetskaya, with her characteristic boldness, argue with the canons, while Lopatkina transformed into the ideal image of the Russian swan? The lecture will be a journey behind the scenes, where talent, ambition, and personal dramas intertwine into one of the most recognizable symbols of Russian culture. The format of the art breakfast makes the meeting especially warm: over a cup of tea and light refreshments, listeners will not only hear about the nuances of the biographies and myths surrounding the ballerinas but also ask questions, share thoughts, and feel a sense of connection. This informal conversation will inspire, surprise, and leave a lingering taste of a true cultural encounter. Angelina Dronova is a historian specializing in the history of theater and dance, a graduate of Moscow State University. Her lectures are not dry academic retellings but living stories where academic precision meets emotional depth. Where to go with children in Moscow can be found on KudaGo.
