For the 13th season, the opera has been inviting guests for a night out to spend the old New Year together. Before the main part of the holiday, the lobby is traditionally warmed up – performances by musicians and thematic locations, for example, astrological forecasts and divinations for every taste, educational interactive games and quests, master classes and even a tea ceremony, according to Chinese traditions. For the first time at the ball, a real castle mystery "Christmas Nativity Scene" with the participation of artists of the children's musical theater-studio and opera soloists was held. And on the main stage of the Bolshoi there a concert "Love, intrigues and passions of Kings" was performed. This year, the organizers have returned to the tradition of holding the main dance performance in the theater lobby. The holiday ended at 3 am on the site near the fountain.
