On December 24, director of the Hvorostovsky Opera and Ballet Theatre Svetlana Guzy and creative director of the Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro André Heller-Lopes signed a cooperation agreement.   

The cooperation paper establishes an agreement on both the joint events organisation and conduct of performances. In the autumn of 2020, Krasnoyarsk residents and city guests alike will be able to see Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlos opera directed by André Heller-Lopes on the #krasopera stage, and in the summer of 2021 the theatre will present the ballet Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev in the production of Honored Artist of Russia, Head of our theater Sergey Bobrov.

Such an opportunity for international cooperation is undoubtedly considered a great honour for the Krasnoyarsk Opera, since the Brazilian Opera and Ballet Theatre has the highest status among the theatre institutions of South and Latin America and gets world-renowned stars from around the world on its stage.
