From June 2, 2025 to June 15, 2025 the Hvorostovsky Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theatre will tour in Vladivostok. Its “Great Tour” is organized by the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture ROSCONCERT, according to the All-Russian Tour and Concert Plan of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. As part of the interregional line of the “Great Tour” project, the ballets Catarina ou la Fille du bandit, Spartacus and Dante’s Catharsis and the operas Il barbiere di Siviglia and Lakmé will be toured at the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre.
According to Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, “The main purpose of the All-Russian Tour and Concert Plan is to familiarize as many Russians as possible with performances of our national ensembles and theatres. New participants join the project yearly, and we are thrilled that our creative community is an ever-growing one. Thus our unique cultural traditions and our musical and theatrical schools are preserved as well as find new addicts all over Russia.”
The Theatre will go on its first “Great Tour” to Vladivostok to present some large-scale repertoire performances of various styles and genres.
“We are proud to always justify confidence and gain support from the “Great Tour” project again and again! Within this project, we have already toured in Moscow where the Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theatre was warmly appreciated by sophisticated metropolitan audiences. Now we are for the first time going to the east of our big country and we are sure that we will be able to surprise audiences and win their hearts at the other end of Russia. For us, this tour is a higher level because we are bringing five performances for the first time! These include our calling card, the legendary titular ballet Catarina, recipient of the Golden Mask National Award Grand Prix; our pride, the most complicated ballet Spartacus choreographed by the great master Yury Grigorovich, which has been restored in the current season; and the ballet Dante’s Catharsis choreographed by Nikita Dmitrievsky to contemporary composers’ music. Besides, in Vladivostok we will present the comic opera Il barbiere di Siviglia, which is a premiere of the season, and the opera Lakmé, which has not been performed anywhere in Russia over 60 years”, said Svetlana Gusy, Director of the Hvorostovsky Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theatre.
