On 15 September the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus opened the 87th season with a premiere. Alexander Borodin's Prince Igor has returned to the repertoire. After the performance, the audience did not want to let the artists go: for a long time people were clapping and yelling ‘Bravo!’ The audience reacted to the production differently and serious passions took place in social networks after the premiere.
