Bashkir Opera invites you to audio walk with famous artists

On the eve of the 85th theatrical season, the Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theater launched a new digital project - an audio walk around the theater with the symbolic name "The Genius of the Place". As Bashinform News Agency was told by the press service of the theater, in 30 minutes anyone can learn the history of Bashkir Opera, and get acquainted with the facts from the life of famous natives and residents of Ufa.

These are Gostiny Dvor with its shops and stores, Aksakov People's House, which now houses Bashkir Opera, monuments to Fyodor Chaliapin, Zagir Ismagilov, Sergei Aksakov and Alexander Pushkin, and much more.
