The Lumisfera Symphony Orchestra will present a new musical program titled These Are Diamonds at the Mayakovsky Theatre in Moscow on October 20. Representatives from the project press service confirmed details of the upcoming autumn performance to Russian news outlet Lenta.ru.
The upcoming concert serves as a direct continuation of the orchestra's established Golden Age of Hollywood show. Project creators said the new staging will feature expanded visual scale, added luxury, and themes drawn from the long-running James Bond spy film franchise. The production aims to immerse attendees in the philosophy of enlightened hedonism, which organizers define as a conscious decision to value personal quality, aesthetic beauty, and living in the present moment.
Vocal performances will be anchored by two primary female soloists. According to show producers, singer Veronika Voronkevich will project the cool glow and glamour associated with 1950s Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe. Co-star Fantine will bring a contrasting performance style inspired by the vocal power of American singer Whitney Houston, incorporating the passion and fiery stage presence of a Latin American diva.
The musical lineup spans iconic cinematic themes and popular culture repertoire from across multiple decades. The program includes pieces by Oscar-winning German composer Hans Zimmer, American film scorer Danny Elfman, mid-century pop singer Nancy Sinatra, and Argentine tango pioneer Astor Piazzolla. The show will reach its climax during a duet featuring both soloists, structured to symbolize two complementary aspects of female strength and artistic beauty.
Venue and ensemble track record
The October show will take place at the historic Mayakovsky Theatre, a prominent drama venue situated in central Moscow. Organisers specified that guests attending the evening event will be expected to adhere to a creative black tie dress code.
Lumisfera has expanded its regional presence rapidly over the last three years. The orchestra has mounted more than 500 performances across dozens of cities throughout Russia, attracting an aggregate audience of nearly 600,000 concertgoers. The ensemble's high-profile audiences have included actor Konstantin Khabensky, who serves as artistic director of the Moscow Art Theatre, alongside writer Irina Khakamada and screen actress Katerina Shpitsa.
The autumn announcement follows a major summer production by the ensemble in the Russian capital. In August, Lumisfera presented a candlelight concert series in Moscow for the first time, performing symphonic arrangements of famous compositions that ranged from classical Baroque works by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi to alternative hits by American rock band Linkin Park.
