All to the ball!

 General partner

Dear Friends!

The night of Old New Year will definitely be magical if you spend that time at the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus. It traditionally will take place on the night of the 13th /14th January. We again invite you to the Big New Year’s Ball at the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus which will be held for the 9th time!

A whirlwind of dance and whirlpool of entertainments, live music and interesting photo zones, sparkling jokes and great mood, jokes and fun, unusual surprises, champagne, gala concert and mini-performances, all this awaits you in the theatre. You can add the opportunity not only to see your favorite artists, but even to talk to them and, of course, get an autograph and you understand that it is the best place to celebrate the Old New Year.

New Year’s Ball at the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus will give you the opportunity to move from the mad XXI century to the last century in an amazing way. But you should make a bit of an effort. It would be great if the ladies wear long-skirted evening gowns, and gentlemen attire a suit or tuxedo.

We're waiting for you at the Bolshoi Theatre!
