Lonely Planet review

The theatre company was founded in 1991 by Mayor Luzhkov and artistic director Evgeny Kolobov. Maestro Kolobov himself stated `we do not pretend to be innovators in this beautiful and complicated genre of opera.' As such the New Opera stages the old classics, and does it well. The gorgeous, modern opera house set amidst the lovely Hermitage Gardens.
