On the eve of Christmas, the White Hall of the library will resonate with poignant lines from Russian and foreign literature. Two actresses will bring to life stories and poems where warmth and light intertwine with hope and faith. You are invited to an intimate meeting with the miracle that is born from words. For one evening, the White Hall of the Central Library named after M. Yu. Lermontov will transform into a space where Christmas poetry and prose come alive through the performances of actresses Lolita Rumyantseva and Natalia Voronkova. Their voices will fill the hall with stories of goodness, faith, love, and light - what unites humanity on the eve of the warmest and most important winter holiday. The literary program will unite works of classics and contemporary authors, including N. Teffi, A. P. Chekhov, F. M. Dostoevsky, and A. S. Pushkin. All of them speak of the miracle that happens when the heart is open. These texts resonate particularly sharply on December evenings - they are like a candle in the dark, reminding us of the essential. The readings will not only remind us of the beauty of literary language but also help us look at familiar Christmas images in a new light. Each piece has been chosen with care and love to create an emotional response and touch the soul. The evening will be an informal meeting with true literature, where what matters is not loud effects, but silence, attention, and sincerity. This event will be interesting for anyone seeking inspiration, valuing the culture of reading, and wanting to tune into the festive mood deeply and meaningfully. The program is prepared as part of the "Silver Age" project and will be especially close to the older generation, but is open to all - admission is free. Find other events in St. Petersburg on KudaGo.
