Moscow State Symphony Orchestra will perform the most famous arias from the Rimsky-Korsakov’s “fairy tale” operas: “The Snow Maiden”, “Sadko”, “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, as well as music from the most “wintery” ballet – “The Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky.

This concert is a part of the Moscow winter music festival programme.

A key motive of the first season festival is fairy tales, which plot lies at the heart of many world’s musical masterpieces.
A key “fairy tale” motive will be supplemented by the following genres: jazz and baroque, popular programmes, music and word, as well as premieres of some new projects and compositions.
A hallmark of this first major musical festival is programmes specially created for the family and children audience. Some of the projects are the result of a collaboration with young producers and lighting and video designers.
Opening concert audience will get a sight of a Grand Hall unique festival décor, that eventually will be spread throughout the Zaryadye concert hall building and will create a specific showpiece of this project.
