Alexander Lukashenko attends gala concert of the Bolshoi stars

Over the decades, the Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater has become a symbol of Belarus. 

In our country, the state has always paid special attention to the support of the sphere of culture. Art is under the patronage of the President. And such parties are the proof of it.

The Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater is one of the world's best venues. On July 3, it has been transformed into a meeting place for the creative elite. 

"The Independence Day is not only a look into the past but also a guide to the future of the country. And you build that future with your creative work," said Alexander Lukashenko.

The state and the people need the work of artists like air, the President believes. "Without you, the bright, successful and talented people, life is colorless and, worst of all, soulless. And where there is no creative culture, people will never be inspired to develop, not only personally, but globally, including the development of the entire country.
