On June 17, The Wedding in Malinovka, will be played with participation of professional horsemen from Cossack organizations, featuring battle scenes and other kinds of action. The Wedding in Malinovka is a Soviet movie, very popular both in the Soviet times and the current times, though, of course it may be of no interest for non-Russians. Albeit seeing action scenes and listening to nice singing is a good thing to spend time for.

On June 18, The Mister X by Imre Kalman will be performed. The love story of a circus performer and a woman from the high society suggests the participation of lot of circus workers like clowns, jugglers, acrobats and so on. A spectacular show no matter if you understand Russian language or not.

On June 19, a gala concert will take place featuring a few European operetta stars like Mara Keykovac, Rafael Bartminski and Iolanta Vagner and a conductor Piter Gut who is famous for his weird manner of conducting of an orchestra when he may first be playing a violin and in a few seconds switch to conducting other musicians. Some well known operettas will be performed over the course of the gala concert.

Schedule of the Operetta Park festival: June 17, 18 and 19 at 20.00
Ticket prices: from 600 to 3500 rubles.
