The Bolshoi Theatre of Russia is celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026. The anniversary programme features gala concerts, exhibitions, and premieres. Over the past few years, the theatre's repertoire has been significantly enriched with about 50 opera and ballet titles. We spoke with Valery Gergiev, the General Director of the Bolshoi Theatre, about the ambitious goals the management is trying to achieve.

How is the integration of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky theatres' repertoires being implemented? How are the opportunities for participants in the International Tchaikovsky Competition expanding? How many spectators can the auditoriums of the Mariinsky Theatre accommodate simultaneously? What are the prospects for cooperation between the two main Russian theatres and the BRICS+ countries? What does music mean to the CEO of the Bolshoi?

Valery Gergiev, the General Director of the Bolshoi Theatre, shared his insights on this topic in our BRICSterview.

Liao Fan

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"
