Therefore, choosing quality as a priority in our work, focusing on the European principles of partnership, we are open to an honest dialogue and invite you to collaborate» - Dmitry Diedukh, Chief Executive Officer of F.E.S.

Priority areas:
• To search in the regions of Russia and systematically support talents in the art of opera and ballet.
• To support initiatives which improve the quality of cultural projects (organization of concerts, festivals, events with the participation of opera and ballet stars)
• To develop the spiritual and personal level of the audience through acquaintance with the masterpieces of the world classical music heritage.
