A notable event of the program will be the premiere of "A Gentle Creature" play. It is directed by Viktor Kramer and is based on the story of the same name by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Sergey Garmash plays the main role. The music of Kuzma Bodrov will be performed by the Moscow Soloists chamber ensemble conducted by Bashmet.
