《天鹅湖》何罪之有？
今天，外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会。有记者就中方在俄乌冲突中的立场进行提问。
发言人赵立坚说，我听说连俄罗斯的猫、俄罗斯的狗、俄罗斯的树都要被制裁，我还听说柴可夫斯基的《天鹅湖》也被禁演。柴可夫斯基是著名作曲家，他已经去世100多年，他又何罪之有呢？《天鹅湖》是世界舞蹈艺术佳作，《天鹅湖》又何罪之有呢？

The show can’t go on: Russian arts cancelled worldwide
The Guardian
Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted responses from the cultural and sporting spheres, with Russian artists and companies beginning to feel the repercussions of decisions taken by the Kremlin. Not only has Russia been stripped of two prestigious events – the Champions League men’s final and Formula One’s Russian Grand Prix –but an increasing number of performances by Russians are being cancelled worldwide.
Ballet
The Royal Opera House has cancelled a planned residency by Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet, one of the oldest and most prestigious ballet companies in the world.
“A summer season of the Bolshoi Ballet at the Royal Opera House had been in the final stages of planning,” the ROH said. “Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, the season cannot now go ahead.” The dance troupe had been due to stage 21 performances from 26 July to 14 August.
Performances by the Russian State Ballet of Siberia have been cancelled by Wolverhampton Grand Theatre and the Royal and Derngate in Northampton. The local Ukrainian community had previously called for the cancellations.
The Helix theatre in Dublin also cancelled a performance of Swan Lake by the Royal Moscow Ballet “to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine”.
Film
Warner Bros, Disney and Sony have halted the release of films in Russian cinemas. This means releases of major movies including The Batman, Turning Red and Morbius will not go ahead as scheduled in the country.
“In light of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, WarnerMedia is pausing the release of its feature film The Batman in Russia,” a spokesperson said.
Disney said: “Given the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis, we are pausing the theatrical release of films in Russia.”
The Ukrainian Film Academy has called for an international boycott of Russian cinema, including a ban on Russian films at international festivals.
In an online petition, the organisation said: “At a time when world powers are imposing economic and political sanctions on the Russian Federation, the country continues to be active in the cultural field”. Any action, however, is yet to be taken.
