«Zhdi menya» in honor of 80th anniversary of the Great Victory

Musical «Zhdi menya» (Await me) premiered at Gnesin Russian Academy of Music. This play is a result of collaboration of students from three leading universities: Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Saint Petersburg State Conservatory and Lugansk’s State Academy of Culture.

The performance was inspired by Konstantin Simonov’s poem and launched two years ago in Lugansk. For the anniversary of the Great Victory the play got itself a reboot in Moscow.

«This Musical is our present to all of you in advance to our country’s day — day of the Great Victory. We hope songs that you hear tonight will be remembered in future, because this is our living history» — with these words the rector of the Academy Alexander Ryzhinskii greeted an audience.
