The Palace Bridge will be built to the sounds of classical music in honor of the birthday of St. Petersburg, performed by the Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Musical Theater named after F.I.Chaliapin “Northern Symphony” conducted by Maestro Fabio Mastrangelo.

The tradition of building a Palace Bridge to the music of a live orchestra originated in St. Petersburg in 2018. The idea of this project was proposed
and implemented by the F.I.Chaliapin Musical Theater (formerly the Music Hall Theater). Now every year this event gathers thousands of art-loving residents and guests of the city, reflecting the cultural heritage of St. Petersburg.

The concert of the orchestra of the F.I.Chaliapin Musical Theater “Northern Symphony” under the direction of Maestro Fabio Mastrangelo will begin on May 31 at 23:15. Russian composers will perform works by famous Russian composers: Lensky’s arioso from Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin, the aria of the Shamakhi Queen from Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Golden Cockerel, the overture to Glinka’s Ruslan and Lyudmila, the waltz from the music to Khachaturian’s drama Masquerade, Petrov’s Imperial Waltz, etc.
As soon as the Palace Bridge begins
to be built, the Northern Symphony Orchestra will perform Glier’s “Hymn to the Great City”.
At this moment, St. Petersburg will be illuminated by the lights of the Rostral Columns, which are one of the main symbols of the city on the Neva. Everyone will receive the text
and will be able to sing the anthem of St. Petersburg in a solemn atmosphere.

The concert will be attended by soloists of the
F.I.Chaliapin Musical Theater: Naziya Amineva, Anna Vikulina, Elizaveta Mikhailova, Alexandra Khasanova, Pavel Shnipov, Dmitry Mulyarchik, Tigri Bazhakin, Joseph Piliev, as well as the theater choir. The event will be hosted by the faces of the St. Petersburg TV channel – Darina Sharova and Vasily Kirov.

Admission to the concert is free. A stage structure decorated with banners in the traditional colors of the Music of the Palace Bridge project will be installed on the Admiralteyskaya Embankment opposite the Spiridonovskaya Church.

LED screens will be located on both sides of the stage structure and next to the Bronze Horseman monument so that residents
and guests of the city can see the broadcast of the concert.

The TV channel will host a live broadcast of the gala concert
“St. Petersburg”.
