In St. Petersburg, an open competition will be launched for a draft design of a monument to the famous singer Fyodor Chaliapin, which is planned to be installed in the Aleksandrovsky Park of the Petrogradsky District at the site of the foundation stone.
As Yulia Strizhak, director of the Music Hall Theater, told Petersburg Diary, throughout 2023, St. Petersburg will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great artist, and the Music Hall has always been Fyodor Chaliapin’s favorite stage.
According to Yulia Strizhak, Smolny supports the work on the appearance of such a monument. “Now we are waiting for the city leadership to give the necessary instructions, and work can begin,” she said.
First of all, we are talking about organizing and holding an open city competition for a draft design of a monument to Fyodor Chaliapin. Secondly, it is necessary to allocate the necessary funds for the development of an architectural project – the environment in which the monument will be installed. It will be necessary to allocate funds for the work of the sculptor himself – the winner of the competition on the image of Chaliapin.
