GORSKY tribute

A memorial plaque, dedicated to the remarkable Russian choreographer, Merited Artist of the Imperial Theatres, Alexander Gorsky (1871-1924) who, for well nigh quarter of a century (1902-1924) headed the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Company and made a huge contribution to the formation of the Moscow style of Russian classical ballet, returned to its rightful place on the house - No 4/2 Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street (today the Bolshoi Theatre New Stage) - where the choreographer lived at the beginning of the last century.
