The Moscow Manor Festival will begin on June 1.

From June 1 to September 14, the Moscow Estates Festival will be held in the capital. It will unite 50 historical sites, while 11 of them will be used for the first time, said Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of the capital.

"The program includes more than 2 thousand events. Muscovites and tourists will enjoy theatrical walking tours, large—scale classical music concerts, open-air opera, lectures and creative workshops," said Sergunina.

Among the new locations are the Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy in Khamovniki, the Shchusev State Scientific Research Museum of Architecture and the Trubetskoy Estate in Khamovniki Park.

The guides in the image of Russian writers and heroes of their works will introduce the participants of the festival to the historical mansions of the Basmanny district, Arbat and Khamovniki. Those who wish to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the turn of the 19th-20th centuries are invited to take part in quests that use augmented reality technologies. Among them is "Jacob Bruce: In Search of a Lost Book," which was popular last season.

The festival program also includes concerts of classical and modern music. For example, in the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve and Kuskovo Manor, you can listen to symphony orchestras.

A photo salon, a botany school, and creative workshops will appear at various venues. Lectures and literary readings, plein-airs and picnics, historical games and outdoor performances will be held for the guests.

Registration for the event is available on the page of the project "Estates of Moscow" in the tour service Ruspass.
