The organisation that operates the Bristol Hippodrome theatre has cancelled a Russian ballet performance at the venue over the country's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian State Ballet Company of Siberia had been scheduled to take the stage at The Ambassador Theatre Group's (ATG) Edinburgh Playhouse between March 3-5 and at the Hippodrome on March 25 and 26.
In a statement released on Saturday (February 26) ATG said it “stands firmly behind the people and nation of Ukraine at this time”, and a decision had been made to cancel the dance troupe’s shows. The company added that it was hoping for a “swift return to peace and stability” in the region.
