[Regnum] On June 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Saint Petersburg Conservatory, where large-scale restoration work was completed. The conservatory, founded in 1862 by Anton Rubinstein, is the first higher music educational institution in Russia.
In March 2015, the historic conservatory building was closed for reconstruction. In September 2020, Putin ordered the reconstruction to be completed.
The building's facades are painted in the historical light beige color, the house church has been restored to its paintings by Andrei Ryabushkin and Vasily Belyaev. The Rubinstein Great Hall for 1,100 seats is equipped with variable acoustics technology.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, in 2021, after a year of scientific research, building inspection and project update, workers began restoration of the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory. The conservatory was founded in 1862 and is located in the building of the Bolshoi (Kamenny) Theater, which was completely rebuilt in 1896 by the architect Vladimir Nikolay. In fact, the walls and foundation of the theater were included in the new building.
In 2015, the Main Directorate of State Expertise of Russia issued a positive conclusion on the restoration of the building, but due to problems with contractors, work on the site was stopped several years later. Following the intervention of federal authorities in 2021, the site was transferred to the management of the Single Customer in the Sphere of Construction (SCC) and underwent a re-examination in connection with the updating of design solutions.
A year after the survey, work began, and restorers began work on the facade of the historic building.
