Opera under the open sky: stars of the Mariinsky Theatre visiting RODINA Hotels

      The RODINA premium hotels alliance is preparing a true celebration of opera art for the residents of Irkutsk and Vladivostok. Guests can look forward to an evening of classical music under the open sky, combining local color, the atmosphere of social leisure, and 5-star world-class service.

      The festival program includes legendary opera masterpieces, featuring works by Verdi, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, and Borodin, as well as classical arias from the repertoire of Mozart, Bernstein, and Rachmaninoff.

      "We are convinced that true hospitality is not limited to impeccable service, a comfortable room, or exquisite cuisine. It is the ability to create an atmosphere that enriches a person. That is why at RODINA Hotels, we strive to fill our guests' stay with events that go beyond the everyday. Concerts of classical music and opera evenings are our way of offering guests what we call 'spiritual luxury': the opportunity to temporarily forget about the hustle and touch the eternal. Collaborating with soloists from the Mariinsky Theatre is a great honor and responsibility for us. We are pleased that the legendary voices of one of the country's main cultural institutions will resonate in our spaces," comments Alena Frolova, Commercial Director of the RODINA Hotels Alliance.

      Stars from the Mariinsky Theatre will perform for the guests:

      Evgeny Plekhanov (bass) - leading master of the Mariinsky Theatre stage, expert of the "Golden Mask" festival, professor at the School of Music and Dance of the Tszyshou University;

      Olga Zharikova (soprano) - master of the Mariinsky Theatre stage, graduate of the Plácido Domingo opera program, holder of a grant from the International Gerda Lissner Vocal Competition (USA);

      Alena Diyanova (soprano) - leading master of the Mariinsky Theatre stage, invited soloist of the Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Dmitry Hvorostovsky, expert of the "Golden Mask" award;

      Ilya Astafurov (tenor) - leading soloist of the Mariinsky Theatre, participant in numerous festivals, teacher at the Far Eastern State Institute of Arts;

      Anna Kiseleva - concertmaster of the opera troupe of the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre, laureate of international competitions.

      "We wanted to create not just a chamber event 'for our own', but an event that unites the traditions of cultural leisure with a modern local context - just as it happens in our Siberian and Far Eastern projects, located in historic buildings and iconic locations. Thus, the idea of 'Opera Under the Open Sky' emerged, where classical music becomes a bridge between the aesthetics of the past and modernity," says Alena Frolova, Commercial Director of the RODINA Hotels Alliance.

      Epic orchestral polyphony, the whisper of evening gowns, the reflection of the setting sun in glasses - everything to temporarily transport you to the past and rediscover the atmosphere of social musical evenings of the 19th century in a modern interpretation and with impeccable service.

      When: Irkutsk - August 8, Vladivostok - August 15

      Where: RODINA Grand Hotel & SPA Irkutsk 5* and RODINA Residences Vladivostok 5*
