To the shores of the sacred Don
Truly young and ambitious: in a quarter of a century (since the transformation into a Musical Theater in 1999 and the acquisition of a beautiful new building), the former Musical Comedy of Rostov—on-Don, which once reverberated throughout the USSR, has turned into a full-fledged opera and ballet hospital with a huge and diverse repertoire, in which operetta is by no means Not a stepdaughter.Read more -
