The Bolshoi museum: in Belfast for the first time It is the first time that the Bolshoi Theatre, represented by its museum, will take part in the Belfast Festival at Queen's, the largest international festival that is organized in Ireland under the patronage of the Ulster Bank. The exhibition will be organized in the building of Crumlin Road Gaol, the former famous city prison, which was changed into a museum venue in 1996. The exhibition will continue as long as the festival, from October 16th till November 1st. The Belfast Festival was first organized in 1961. Over more than half a century, it has become a significant event (according to the statistics, it has attracts about 50 thousand people every year). It is organized annually; there was only one time when it was stopped for several years. Because the program includes all kinds and genres of arts, it involves all more or less large theatre, concert, exhibition and other kinds of venues of the city. Every year key figures of the modern theatre, modern dance, cinema or literature come to Belfast. For example, the guest performances of the Berlin theatre Schaubühne, which will present the production "An Enemy of People", based on the play by H. Ibsen (adaptation by F. Borchmeyer), will be one of the festival's highlights. The production was staged by Thomas Ostermeier, who became the sensation of the Festival d'Avignon; last week it was shown in Moscow during the festival "Territory". The organizers also present the project that the Bolshoi takes part in as one of the brightest events of the coming festival. The idea to bring together in one exposition the best exhibits from the collection of costumes from the Russian Museum of Ethnography (Saint-Petersburg) and the stage costumes for Russian operas and ballets from the Bolshoi Theatre Museum really is very attractive. The exhibition will provide the Irish audience with the chance to learn about Russian "everyday life" culture, with the costumes and with the way this life is interpreted on the stage; this interpretation of everyday life has become an art asset. In order for the visitors to be able to imagine what the costumes look like in the context of the production, there also will be photographs of scenes from operas and ballets, as well as sketches of the set.
