The Omsk-Siberian State Singers and Dancers

on BBC Two England

For the first time in Britain from as far East of Moscow as London is West.
The Company of over 100 performers at the Royal Albert Hall , London present a variety of songs and dances.
featuring The Omsk Ladies Choir, The Siberian Male Voice Choir, The Dance Ensemble with demonstrations of acrobatic dancing, virtuosity on the spoons, and a lifelike skating Siberian bear.

The ensemble, singing and dancing in the thrilling and highly professional style viewers have come to expect from visiting Russian Companies, bring to their performance a sense of fun and gaiety said to be typical of the Siberian people. Seeing this exciting and colourful spectacle people may start to wonder whether pictures of Siberia as a place of salt mines and bitter cold are altogether accurate. Watch out particularly for the girls in the troupe - the women of the area are said to be the most beautiful in Russia.
The entertainment introduced by Lydia Rusakova and Steve Race.
The Omsk-Siberian Ensemble presented by arrangement with Bill Mooney
