Audience and dancers of State Ballet of Georgia had to face unexpected moments in what had started as another evening of the ongoing Don Quixote bill in the Georgian capital on Sunday, as the troupe's performers kept dancing through a power issue that cut music for the performance.

During the evening show of the ballet classic at the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre, what has been reported as drop in power voltage caused the playback of the music for the production to suddenly grind to a halt.

The extraordinary circumstance could have been expected to cut short the performance, however both the soloists and the corps de ballet on stage kept their composure and went through their usual parts through the scene.

They were supported by an accompanying applause and cheers from the audience, which realised the circumstances following the initial startling effect of the disruption.

Power supply for the music equipment was restored shortly and guided the corps through the rest of their parts in the three-act classic.

The company released a video recording of the scene made from the audience hall, with their replies to comments to the social media post illuminating more of what had happened during the moment.

The Facebook account team of the company explained the troupe had been performing to recorded music due to Covid-19 regulations that keep preventing the theatre's orchestra from taking up their positions in the crowded pit.

The team running the State Ballet of Georgia account also said the production team and stage director had contributed to supporting the dancers' effort from the backstage, adding the circumstance had turned into a "kind of unexpected [moments] that remain to adorn theatre history."
