ASMR/Relaxation - The History of the 1903 Romanov Masquerade Ball (Russian history/culture)

This soft spoken history ASMR podcast explores an extraordinarily opulent masquerade ball that took place at the Winter Palace, in St Petersburg, in February 1903. Together, we'll dive into this glittering occasion - which was the last grand ball hosted by Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra, before the Russian revolutions - and take a look at the magnificent settings, the luxurious costumes, the elaborate entertainments and the guests who attended this dazzling social event. We'll also discover some of the wonderfully-talented artists whose creative work helped to make the ball a success - including the ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, the jeweller Agaton Fabergé, and the costume designer Sergey Solomko. Note: there's a bit of a personal ramble at the beginning of the video - apologies for this! The talk starts properly at around 05.48. My sincerest thanks to Olga Shirnina - several of her beautifully-colourised photographs of the 1903 ball feature on the accompanying slideshow to this podcast.
