The Russian State Ballet of Siberia, curently being toured in Britain by Raymond Gubbay Ltd, has been cancelled in Wolverhapton, Northampton and Peterborough in protest at the invasion of Ukraine.

Raymond Gubbay CBE has issued this statement to slippedisc.com: ‘I can well understand the anger which I share that the Russian State Ballet of Siberia is continuing to tour at this time although I am pleased to note that cities have cancelled performances. I have no connection with the company bearing my name, which is now owned by Sony, and I feel it is highly insensitive to continue with the tour at this time.’
