The repertoire of the Bolshoi will be replenished with a rare and extraordinary opera Adriana Lecouvreur by Italian composer Francesco Cilea.

The Chamber Stage of the Bolshoi sees this autumn off with a premiere: on the last day of November, there will be a new performance which links together the operas The Mandarin’s Son and Le Rossignol by I. Stravinsky.

The 8th Russian Musical Theatre Festival To See the Music traditionally presented Legend, its most prestigious award in mid-November. It is granted to “those who have given their lives to music and stage, to those who are respected and loved by both audiences and critics, to those to whom we say: “YOU ARE A LEGEND,” as stated on the festival website and which is easy to guess without any tips. The legendary Bolshoi artists have received this “official” title from the festival multiple times. However, this year, amongst the “Legends” of the Russian musical theatre is our General Director, Vladimir Urin, whose managerial talent in the field of culture has been repeatedly acclaimed with domestic and foreign awards.
