0:00 Preamble
1:10 Road to Valley of Waterfalls
2:10 Mountain road. A hare
2:25 Mariya Preobrazhenskaya
3:00 Pyrite. Fool's gold
3:15 Valley of Waterfalls
4:55 Alan mends the riverbed
5:20 Great Zeygalan
6:40 Return trip
8:00 Halt. Midagrabin lake

Still under the impression of visiting the City of the Dead (link to a video about this amazing place in the upper right corner of the screen, as well as in the description), we slowly moved along the Midagrabin Gorge towards one of the brightest pearls of North Ossetia - the Valley of Waterfalls.

Only two objects from the remarkable places of North Ossetia made it to the pages of the guide to anomalous zones and amazing places in Russia, and one of them is the Valley of Waterfalls in Midagrabin Gorge.

We leave the car and walk along a picturesque road, breathe in the delicious air infused with mountain herbs and admire the wondrous beauty of the mountains.

The first to inform the world about the exceptionally beautiful valley with waterfalls in Midagrabin was the teacher of the women's high school from Vladikavkaz and passionate traveler Maria Preobrazhenskaya. By the way, she is considered the founder of women's mountaineering.

There are more than 50 waterfalls in the Valley of Waterfalls... small and large, seasonal and permanent...

All the waterfalls of the valley originate on the peaks of the Kazbek-Dzhimarai snow glacier massif and flow into the Gizeldon, a mountain tributary of the Terek.

The valley of waterfalls is overflowing with the sound of flowing, falling, water hitting rocks... And since we are 70% water, there is a feeling that the body enters into a kind of resonance with the unique atmosphere of the valley.

- Are you improving the riverbed?
- That's the direction I am going for.
- Change the direction of the river a little bit, right?
- Because if it overflows, it's impossible to get through.

At last we have reached the first height in Midagrabin Gorge, the foot of the Great Zeygalan Waterfall. Half an hour of the hardest climb and we are there ...

Forgetting how to breathe, we stand side by side.
Water and stones, a heavenly organ
In Midagrabin, in front of the waterfall
Known as Big Zeygalan

Beautiful and powerful, the second largest waterfall in the Valley of the Falls, but certainly the most beautiful. It rises on a glacier at an altitude of more than 3 km above sea level. Zeygalan translated from Ossetian means falling avalanche.

The abundance of this waterfall depends greatly on the season and the weather: for example, in sunny weather the flow of water is many times stronger than in cloudy weather, because it is fed by a glacier that hardly melts without heat.

It's hard to tell how much time we spent staring at the Zeygalan... A truly mesmerizing sight! But we had to move on...

We still have a way back to go
We began the descent to the car... I would like to say that the descent is more difficult than the ascent... Oh, be careful!

We still had to visit Dzivgis rock fortress in Kurtatinsky gorge and Koltso waterfall. After that, we could consider the mission of the first day of the excursion accomplished and return to the Alexandrovsky Hotel with peace of mind (link to the video review of the hotel in the upper right corner of the screen, as well as in the description).

Before leaving the Midagrabin Valley, we stopped on the shore of a picturesque lake. With great pleasure we ate an Ossetian pie washed down with fragrant tea infused with mountain herbs. These dishes were given to us as a surprise by Tourism Ossetia, represented by its founder and our guide Alan! Ossetian hospitality in action!

Moscow Walk - Bolshoi Theatre Walking Street

This theater was amazing i really like it i suggested to my fan visit to Russia Moscow and visit this amazing place.
Bolshoi Theater
The Bolshoi Theatre (Russian: Большо́й теа́тр, tr. Bol'shoy teatr, literally Big Theater, is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, originally designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds ballet and opera performances.Before the October Revolution it was a part of the Imperial Theatres of the Russian Empire along with Maly Theatre (Small Theatre) in Moscow and a few theatres in Saint Petersburg (Hermitage Theatre, Bolshoi (Kamenny) Theatre, later Mariinsky Theatre and others).

The Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera are among the oldest and best known ballet and opera companies in the world. It is by far the world's biggest ballet company, with more than 200 dancers. The theatre is the parent company of The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, a leading school of ballet. It has a branch at the Bolshoi Theater School in Joinville, Brazil.

The main building of the theatre, rebuilt and renovated several times during its history, is a landmark of Moscow and Russia (its iconic neoclassical façade is depicted on the Russian 100-ruble banknote). On 28 October 2011, the Bolshoi re-opened after an extensive six-year renovation. The official cost of the renovation is 21 billion rubles ($688 million). However, other Russian authorities and other people connected to it claimed much more public money was spent. The renovation included restoring acoustics to the original quality (which had been lost during the Soviet Era), as well as restoring the original Imperial decor of the Bolshoi.

Behind the curtain at the Mariinski Theatre - life

In this series, we will be discovering the most amazing places in the largest country on Earth, where life sometimes resembles a theatre - and a theatre can tell a lot about Russian Life.

At St Petersburg's Mariinski Theatre, there is rehearsal every morning. With more than 150 years of opera and ballet performances, the world-renowned theatre is a celebrated symbol of Russia's northern capital.

I can't imagine St Petersburg without the Mariinsky Theatre, as I can't imagine this theater anywhere else but in St Petersburg. The two are the same, says tenor Yevgeny Akimov..

Production designer Isabella Bywater is enchanted by the city:

I've done a lot of walking around St Petersburg, and it's beautiful, it's melancholy, it's dirty, and I love it!

This is my home theatre, this is my home city. The Mariinsky is my life!, says prima ballerina Diana Vishneva.

Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, Saint Petersburg sees itself as Russia's cultural capital.

Tradition is kept alive at the Mariinsky Theatre with its constellation of opera and ballet stars, producers and designers.

We try to make everything by hand, because that really allows you put your heart into your creation, says Ludmila Mekhonoshina, head of the stage scenery art department at the Mariinsky Theatre.

Curtain sets and other scenery are made in the rooftop hall before being lowered onto the main stage, where masterpieces by Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov were premiered.

This is the theatre where Russian opera was born and thrived. It's like La Scala for the Italians - a stage that's a focal point for everything great - that's what the Mariinsky Theatre is, not just for St Petersburg but for Russia as a whole, says stage director Vasily Barkhatov.



Factfile: Saint Petersburg

* Founded by Peter the Great in 1703 as Russia's window to Europe, Saint Petersburg was the nation's capital from 1713 to 1728 and from 1732 to 1918. During World War I, the city was known as Petrograd; from 1924 to 1991 - Leningrad
* It remains Russia's second largest city after Moscow with almost 5 million inhabitants
* Designed and built largely by European architects, Saint Petersburg is known as Russia's most westernized city and its cultural capital
* It's the home to more than 200 museums -- including the Hermitage and The Russian State Museum, with some of the most significant art collections in the world
* Mid-June is peak time for white nights -- a natural phenomenon of never-setting sun, celebrated with massive festivals, concerts and parties




In the wardrobe department, they are never short of work - creating stage costumes for up to a dozen premieres each season.

Many foreign designers come to Saint Petersburg to see their creations come to life. Isabella Bywater is one of them:

I've worked in places where nobody cares about production anymore, because it's just like factory producing. We produce a lot of works, but I never feel like I'm working in a factory. There's a kind of unembarrassed enthusiasm for creativity, which is a real joy, she says.

By the evening, the stage is set for another performance.

Boris Godunov, an opera by Modest Mussorgsky based on Alexander Pushkin's tragedy, has been running here since the 19th century.

For this new production, British director Graham Vick sets the classical plot in modern Russia, contemplating decades of turbulent power struggle, social injustice and brutality following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Well, it actually does look like that from abroad. Whether we like it or not. This is how we, Russians, are today, says bass-baritone Yevgeny Nikitin.

As the golden age of Russian culture keeps shaping its national identity, its classical heritage remains as pertinent as ever.

Human nature doesn't change that much: it's the same today as what it was three centuries ago. Power, vanity, greed. History is always repeating itself, says baritone Alexei Markov.
