The Theatre
<em>Eugene Onegin: </em>"Reading Fashion"
A stylish activity of the Russian elite, the theatre was a mainstay in Russian tradition and culture.

<p>«Театр уж полон; ложи блещут;</p>
<p>Партер и кресла, всё кипит;</p>
<p>В райке нетерпеливо плещут,</p>
<p>И, взвившись, занавес шумит.</p>
<p>Блистательна, полувоздушна,</p>
<p>Смычку волшебному послушна,</p>
<p>Толпою нимф окружена,</p>
<p>Стоит Истомина; она,</p>
<p>Одной ногой касаясь пола,</p>
<p>Другою медленно кружит,</p>
<p>И вдруг прыжок, и вдруг летит,</p>
<p>Летит, как пух от уст Эола;</p>
<p>То стан совьёт, то разовьёт,</p>
<p>И быстрой ножкой ножку бьёт» (1, XX, 13)<em>.</em></p>
<br /><br />“The theatre’s full, the boxes glitter;<br />
<p>The restless gallery claps and roars;</p>
<p>The stalls and pit are all ajitter;</p>
<p>The curtain restless as it soars.</p>
<p>And there…ethereal…resplendent,</p>
<p>Poised to the magic box attendant,</p>
<p>A throng of nymphs her guardian band,</p>
<p>Istomina takes up her stand.</p>
<p>One foot upon the ground she places</p>
<p>And then the other slowly twirls,</p>
<p>And now she leaps!</p>
<p>And now she whirls!</p>
<p>Like down from Eol’s lips she races;</p>
<p>Then spins and twists and stops to beat</p>
<p>Her rapid, dazzling, dancing feet” (Chapter 1, Stanza 20, Page 13).</p>
