Gala opening of VI St Petersburg International Cultural Forum (Streamed live in 360)

RT provides the unique opportunity to view live 360-degree footage of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet ‘Petrushka,’ choreographed by Vladimir Varnavaat at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theater. Russian President Vladimir Putin was invited to attend the play that opens the International Cultural Forum in St. Petersburg. ‘Petrushka’ tells the story of three puppets that become trapped in love and jealousy after the charlatan who brought them to life falls in love with one of them. The ballet's original debut was in Paris in 1911.
