October 13, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The Yanka Kupala National Academic Drama Theater in Vitebsk will present six new premieres in the new season, as reported today at a press conference by the theater's artistic director, Rid Talipov, according to a BELTA correspondent. The 84th theater season will open on October 16 with "Nesterka" by Vitaly Volsky, a signature play of the Kolas Theater. This day will be marked by another event: after the performance, there will be a solemn award ceremony for actors who won the creative review for the best leading and supporting roles in the 83rd theater season. The first premiere awaits Vitebsk theatergoers on October 18. The director of the comedy of situations "O-la-la" based on the play "Oh, This Anna!" by Marc Camoletti is Yuri Lizengevich. The plot of the production is based on the scheme husband - wife - lover - mistress.
