bridiem Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm amused to see that the intro to ITV's World Cup programmes use an adaptation of the Swan Lake music and feature ballet quite prominently! Clearly Russia/Ballet are still deemed to be inextricably linked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Ballet music and footage of ballerinas (and Gergiev) is also always used when Gazprom sponsors the UEFA Cup Final. Are they sponsoring or advertising for the World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
