Premiere of the vocal and choreographic performance “Pugachev” based on the story of A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter". State Dance Theater "Cossacks of Russia». Lipetsk, Russia. December 14, 2018.

Rise in the language of dance. The performance of the Peasant War of 1773-1775, led by Yemelyan Pugachev.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky for a long time hatched the idea of the opera on “The Captain's Daughter”, but refused it because of fears that the censorship “would find it difficult to miss such a stage performance, from which the audience leaves completely enchanted by Pugachev,” because he is represented by Pushkin as “a surprisingly cute villain”.
