At Mariinsky second stage he started The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and Maid Fevronia at 6PM. After the 1st act there was a break of one hour. Meanwhile Gergiev went to the Historic Stage of Mariinsky, conducted the ballet premiere of The Miraculous Mandarin by Bartok (35 min) at 7PM. Then he came back to the Mariinsky-2 and finished Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera.
