Being a woman abroad comes with its own set of challenges. Know them all too well, or are you planning to dive into a whole new world in the coming year?

December 2021 saw the #publication of the first Russian #novel about #women in today’s #London: London, mother! («Лондон, мать!») by @dr_daryaprotopopova.

The idea behind the novel is that in order to #survive, first and second-generation #immigrants (the novel’s characters include women from #Italy, Russia, #Poland, #Romania, and #HongKong) need to be strong, decisive and oblivious to the #consequences of their actions.

For the ultra-religious Franz #Liszt, nothing could have felt more real than #Dante’s depiction of heaven and hell in The #Divine #Comedy. For years, Liszt considered writing a #musical response to Dante’s image of a journey through #hell, #purgatory to eventual #bliss. At last, it comes to life @southbankcentre at the end of the month 🎶 Book your tickets to #travel through the #realms with Alexandre #Kantorow via the link in our bio.

The season lends itself to #fairytales and magic ✨As the #festive period draws to a close, if you find yourself in #Russia, it is your last chance to visit @bolshoi_theatre and immerse yourself into its spirit. For those of you based elsewhere, we compiled an enticing history of the #legendary #performance.

“By transforming #Nutcracker into a #philosophic #meditation on the unattainable nature of ideal love, Yuri #Grigorovich has filled it with #romantic #introspection thanks to which this simple children’s matinee #ballet has become a XXth century #classic.”
