After our trip to Yalta, a command performance of the Black Sea Fleet Revue was
offered. The troupe included a men's chorus, a band that included mandolins and
accordions, and dancers. All were very good, and our audience loved them. One
of the high points was parts of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" on mandolin --
amazing -- a perfect fit to the music! The singing was all wonderful, both in the Russian tradition and other
music.
