Bolshoi Live Internet Broadcast

On Art's Place there is a review of the live Internet broadcast of the Bolshoi Ballet's "Raymonda" earlier this month.

And it’s the dancing that we see the Bolshoi spectacularly delivering on – and its all incredibly exciting to watch even with the limitations of web casting technology. From start to finish, the ballet was a delight to watch. The principals were excellent, the corps was excellent, and the character dancing was even exciting to watch (usually it’s a bore both in the theatre and especially on screen – but the rules change for the Bolshoi). Read entire review...

I visited the website for the Bolshoi but the English portion is under construction so I didn't get very far. And on the Cultu.Ru site it does not appear that you can still watch the Internet broadcast of Raymonda.
