The Republic of Uzbekistan will be the next country to host the international cultural project Russian Seasons in 2023.
The opening ceremony of the Russian Seasons will take place on 21 May in Tashkent, on the stage of the Alisher Navoi State Academic Big Theater. Russian Seasons is a large-scale annual project aimed at presenting Russian culture abroad. The themes and formats of Russian Seasons events are varied – from classical music concerts and theater productions to film festivals, art exhibitions and educational projects. In total, throughout its history, Russian Seasons attracted over 13 million viewers!
Right after the ceremony on 21 May, as well as on the next day, 22 May, the play 12, staged at the Center for Theater and Cinema under the direction of Nikita Mikhalkov, will be presented to the Uzbek audience. The resonant premiere of the play took place in April 2021 on the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. The project is carried out with the support of the Ministry of Culture of Russia and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
