“I really hope that we will start working with the new season. This is an upbeat scenario. Judging by how the situation is developing, I’m almost sure that performances are impossible until the end of June or even July, ”he said in an interview with Kommersant.

With an unfavorable development of the situation, according to Urin, the strongest consequences for the theater are possible.

"Do not want to talk. Because if we don’t open in September, it’s even scary to predict what could be - right up to the destruction of the theater. Not buildings, of course, ”he said.

In March, the Bolshoi Bolshoi tour in France was canceled due to the situation with COVID-19.
