The grand premiere show of St.-Petersburg Festival of Lights was held on 29 April. Catharine the Great monument and facade of the Alexandrinsky Theatre were brought to life by 3D-mapping and audio-visual technology. For the first time in Russian history the mapping was created not only on flat surface of a building but on a three-dimensional monument.

Recognizable voices of the actors from the Russian Academic Theatre presented several scenes from Gogol’s "The Government Inspector", Lermontov’s “Masquerade”, Chekhov’s “The Seagull” and other productions. The show culminated with the awakened Catherine II saying, “Let there be light”.
