Anton Lubchenko announced: "We will bring the ballet "The Fourteenth" to the music by D. Shostakovich; it has been provoking more and more interest lately. We will also present a symphonic program together with our orchestra. To be invited to the Bolshoi Theatre in the first year of our creative career is a great honor for us. We will treat this opportunity with the maximum responsibility". Ways for further cooperation between the theatres have been discussed at the meeting as well. According to Anton Lubchenko, joint opera productions have become more and more popular lately. "There is a possibility that in the next calendar year the Primorsky Theatre will carry out such a joint production together with the Bolshoi Theatre. Most likely, this will be a Russian classical opera. We have also agreed that this year our company will perform at the Bolshoi Theatre",- Mr. Lubchenko said.
