A group of ballerinas at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre huddled around a mobile phone to catch a glimpse of Russia dumping Spain out of the 2018 World Cup in a round of 16 penalty shootout on July 1.
Bolshoi Theatre ballet dancer Bruna Gaglianone Cantanhede said that the penalty shootout took place during the Bolshoi’s production of Raymonda, and the dancers caught a small glimpse of the action before they went on-stage.
