Nikolay Grishko is pleased to announce that in the spring of 2021, the 5th All-Russian Competition for Young Performers “Russian Ballet” will take place on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. The competition is held under the leadership of Svetlana Medvedeva, president of the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, and is dedicated to finding the most talented graduates of the Russian ballet academies.


 In the spring, the best graduates of the 2020 and future graduates of 2021 aged 18-19 will enter the Bolshoi stage. Nikolay Grishko has been supporting the competition since its inception in 2013.     

The main role of Nikolay Grishko in the organizing committee is to provide of products to young artists and their teachers:     

• Every year the makers of Grishko/Nikolay, who have been working at the company’s theatrical costume factory for decades, create costumes (up to 70 pieces!) For the contestants according to individual measurements from the best Italian and English fabrics. After the competition, the products are given to the costume shops of ballet schools and delight the audiences for years to come.

All items gifted, are created in our own factory, which is located in the heart of the theatrical district of Moscow: a 5-minute walk from the Musical Theater of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko (the second largest ballet troupe in Moscow) and a 10-minute walk from the famed Bolshoi Theater. It is here, from year to year (more than 30 years!), The unsurpassed famous Russian stage costumes are made by hand by the most skilled workers in the industry.
