He suggested making it musical, that is, in addition to operettas, it also included operas and ballets. In 1960, the reorganization took place. The first opera, staged in the Voronezh musical theater, was "Eugene Onegin". The first ballet is Swan Lake. In 1968 the theater was renamed. This name it carries to this day.
