The development of modern musical and dramatic art requires a fresh look and new ideas. That is why Olga Andreevna Romanova, Director of the Krasnoyarsk Musical Theater, has set herself the task of not only staging classic titles with star directors, but also discovering young talents. She set the task to hold a laboratory of young directors for the theater's anniversary.

Graduates of directing courses do not have the opportunity to stage large productions right away, and most laboratories are focused on the chamber format. Ours is unique in that it involves the chorus, ballet, and soloists of the theater. Young directors had the opportunity to work on a well-equipped stage. The participants showed the whole palette of musical theater genres, including children's musical, classical operetta, and even hip-hopera.
