Article Abstract:
The Bolshoi Ballet is struggling to find a new identity. The ballet was formed in the 1770s to entertain Russia's ruling class and became a bridge to the outside world during Communist rule. In the mid-1990s, the institution is running out of money and performers are leaving for better-paying positions.
