The Old New Year festivity at the Vakhtangov Theatre

14 January, 2017

The Vakhtangov Theatre has lots of beautiful traditions. Gathering all together for celebrating the Old New Year on the 13thth of January is one of them. Some further explanations might be needed. Such a festivity as the Old New Year appeared in Russia because of the difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendars. Besides, in the Vakhtangov Theatre we do believe that 13 is a lucky number. Particularly, because Eugene Vakhtangov was born on the 13th of February.
