The winners of the Golden Mask National Award were honoured yesterday during an official ceremony, which was held outside of Moscow for the first time in the Award’s history, instead being hosted in Kazan, in the brand-new building of the Galiasgar Kamal Tatar State Academic Theatre.

Our Swan Lake production was attended by Mrs. Snježana Dodik, First Lady of Republika Srpska.

To mark the occasion, group photo with the performers was made on the stage after the show ended. The First Lady posed next to Alexandr Malich, Director of Alexandrinsky Theatre.

“We're Going on Tour: The Link between Culture and the Economy” was a special discussion during the Business Programme of SPIEF’25, initiated by St. Petersburg’s Committee for Culture and hosted on 20 June, 2025.

This international event, celebrating the late Ekaterina Maximova, will feature three of our ballets. This will be our first-ever tour to the largest city in the Southern Urals.
On 17 and 18 June, the public will enjoy Brilliant Divertissement, Cheeky Chastushki, and 598 Beats. The latter of these three ballets is this year’s Golden Mask Award nominee. Meanwhile, Brilliant Divertissement was personally created by our Theatre’s founder, Leonid Yacobson.
