Along with the Boomerang of Goodness charity fund, The Hvorostovsky Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre runs the traditional Christmas and New Year campaign Grant a Theatre Ticket.
In the tickets booking hall, there is a Christmas tree installed. It’s decorated with real toys as well as Christmas balls with names written on them - the names of those who mostly need New Year's gifts: children from poor families, orphans, disabled people, retirees from a retirement home... They often can’t afford to attend a theatre performance.
Any spectator can take part in the charity campaign. What should he do? He needs to remove any ball from the Christmas tree, buy a ticket for any performance of the theatre’s repertoire for the participant whose name is written on it, and leave the ball with the ticket at the booking office. Theatre's Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden will deliver it to the recipients.
The Krasnoyarsk Opera House conducts the New Year campaign Grant a Theatre Ticket along with the Boomerang of Goodness fund for the third time. Concerned Krasnoyarsk citizens bought and granted about 1000 tickets during previous campaigns.
Moreover, the Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem was performed on February 2, 2018 - the performance was dedicated to Dmitri Hvorostovsky; and philanthropists helped teachers and students of music schools #4 and #1 (where the artist studied), as well as students of the Krasnoyarsk College and the Institute of Arts, visit the show. And at the joint charity marathon Art for Life, more than 800 thousand roubles were raised - they were used to cure diseased children.
