She's ethnic Bashkir (a Turkic people centered in Bashkortistan), which is likely why she says she is not "Russian " I look forward to seeing her perform live!
Exactly. She doesn’t like it when the reviews identify her as Russian, but many do. She was born a Russian citizen. I believe I read one of her parents was not accepted at Moscow State University. (The Russian one, not Idaho). We talked to her last night after the performance and she was humble. You will be blown away to hear her live!
We return on Thursday early. Backstage tour of Met today and dinners tonight and tomorrow. It was sort of a last minute trip. I recall fondly our night with you in the balcony at the Met!

How long in NYC? I have play recommendations (see my Facebook stream) and plan to be there next weekend.
