“Poetic theater of SVETLANA KRYUCHKOVA”

To the 320th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg – the capital of the Russian Empire

      Reading by People’s Artist of Russia SVETLANA KRYUCHKOVA

The program will include the poetry of the Silver Age and poems by St. Petersburg authors, whom we proudly speak of as our contemporaries. From the usual, classical form – to the echo of the “Oberiuts” hidden behind childish playfulness. Poems by Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, Joseph Brodsky, Alexander Volodin, Oleg Grigoriev, Gennady Ryabov and Zhenya Glukka will be heard.

In 2023, St. Petersburg will celebrate 320 years since the founding of the city (1703). By tradition, City Day in St. Petersburg is celebrated on May 27.

According to historical chronicles and documents, on May 27, 1703, Tsar Peter I founded the Peter and Paul Fortress at the mouth of the Neva River. After the city of St. Petersburg was built around the fortress. In 1712, the capital of the Russian Empire was moved there from Moscow.
