25 October is the perfect date to launch the new season of the Opera & Podium project! Yesterday the musical world celebrated the International Day of Opera, and painters and designers – the International Day of Artists. It was on this day that we gathered in the Academic Council Hall of PROMTECHDISIGN University for our creative meeting of the project’s organising committee with its participants and mentors, which opened the third creative season. Designers, directors, multimedia specialists, make-up artists, opera performers – this is an incomplete list of specialities and areas of training, which were represented yesterday by our participants. Festive friendly atmosphere reigned at our meeting and, of course, music sounded. Bakuri Kalichava, a student of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, performed Konchak’s aria from the opera Prince Igor, a scene from which will be included in the programme of the new season of the Opera & Podium project, along with scenes from other historical and patriotic operas.
