Saturday, Alex Ovechkin was extraordinarily busy. After attending a noonish practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the Russian machine filmed a commercial in Arlington for Papa John’s. Then, according to a source that looks an awful like Ovechkin, it was off to the ballet.
“Family going to the ballet,” wrote Ovechkin’s wife Nastya on Instagram.
Later, Ovechkin posted a photo himself.
“BRAVO!” Ovechkin wrote in all caps. “Proud of our ballet. We enjoyed it very much! Thank you! #bolshoiballet”
The lovely couple was at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for the VTB Bolshoi Ballet Gala led by talented ballerina Svetlana Zakharova.
Here’s video of what Zakharova is like while performing.
