The premiere of The Rostov Mystery was held on the 30th of June 1982. Over the past decades, the performance has become one of the trademarks for the theatre of Boris Pokrovsky. “A faith in peace, good and justice has always been the main component of the Russian art. This is what The Rostov Mystery is about”, as Boris Pokrovsky said. In the musical performance that he created, a struggle between sin and virtue, which is so clear and impresses with its dramatic power, leads to a bright and natural ending. “Life, given from heaven, be blessed!”, these are the words the main character, Human Nature, utters as he completes his journey in The Rostov Mystery.
