詹姆斯·卡梅隆将执导3D现场版“天鹅湖”

“Avatar” director James Cameron and Russian conductor Valery Gergiev will beam* the world’s first live 3D ballet broadcast to 50 countries from Russia’s Mariinsky theater in June.

    Cinema audiences across Europe, the United States, South America, Asia, Australia and elsewhere will be able to watch Ekaterina Kondaurova dance the role of Odette/Odile in Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” at the 19th century opera house on June 6, production company Omniverse Vision said in a statement.

    Mariinsky general and artistic director Gergiev took his company on numerous world tours after the collapse of the Soviet Union*.

    With Russia now pouring money into the arts and the completion of a US$700-million Mariinsky II extension, Gergiev has said he wants to concentrate on domestic performances.

    Known as the Kirov in Soviet times, the Mariinsky is one of the great showcases of Russian culture.(SD-Agencies)
