On November 3, 2026, as part of the All-Russian Night of the Arts event, the final creative talk will take place, concluding the Meetings with the Mariinsky project that launched in March. Elizaveta Sushchenko, leader of the cello section of the Mariinsky Orchestra of the Primorsky Stage, is invited as guest.
The Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre and the Tretyakov Gallery’s Public Space in Vladivostok are winding up a joint project, dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the Tretyakov Gallery and the 10th anniversary of the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre.
Creative ensembles and technical production staff from the Primorsky Stage have been performing at the Public Space of the Tretyakov Gallery between March and November. The audiences have had the opportunity to meet opera soloists Yevgeny Plekhanov and Dmitry Nelasov; principal ballet dancers Irina Sapozhnikova and Denis Klepikov; conductor Vitaly Shevelev; chorus accompanists Elena Nikiforova and Ekaterina Rogozina; as well as photographer Ilya Korotkov and makeup artist Oksana Tereshchenko. A standout moment of the joint event was the preview of costumes for the upcoming ballet production of Romeo and Juliet, held as part of the Night of Museums event, with the participation of Zhanna Suvorova, Head of the Costume Department. This presentation was full of insights into the storage and maintenance of theatrical costumes and marked the Primorsky Stage’s debut participation in the museum-focused initiative.
Throughout June and July, visitors to the Tretyakov Gallery’s Public Space in Vladivostok had the chance to enjoy a photo exhibition marking the 10th anniversary of the Primorsky Stage. Ten photographs, each representing a single year of development and achievement, were enhanced with interactive features, detailing the yearly milestones and the Theatre’s key achievements. The opening of the exhibition was attended by the leading soloists of the Theatre, Irina Sapozhnikova and Alexei Kostyuk.
