Belarus’ National Library hosts Holocaust Remembrance Day exhibition

The roof of the Summer Amphitheatre in Vitebsk will get a new look for the upcoming Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia, as well as the "Slavianski Bazaar" International Arts Festival, as reported by Gleb Lapitsky, General Director of the Vitebsk Culture Center and Director of the Arts Festival.

Preliminary work is already underway. "Design work is currently being carried out for the replacement of the Summer Amphitheatre's roof covering and the modernization of its lighting," Gleb Lapitsky clarified.

This involves the complete replacement of the polycarbonate covering, as it no longer meets the required standards. "We can thank the old one – it served us well since 2007," noted Gleb Lapitsky. "And our main task is to modernize the lighting itself, because new systems are emerging, such as fiber optics and cloud-based control systems, servers. In 2007, this was state-of-the-art. We want the roof's control system to be modern today, and for it to have a more screen-like appearance."

The General Director of the Culture Center added that the Summer Amphitheatre is a landmark of Vitebsk. Its arch was modernized last year, and the roof with lighting will be the next stage of renovation. The amphitheatre building itself, where the dressing rooms are located, will also feature original lighting.

The facility will also undergo repairs to the seats and steps in the auditorium. The staircases in the cultural and sports complex of the Summer Amphitheatre will be modernized. The new staircases will be built in accordance with all requirements and norms, including provisions for people with disabilities. Meanwhile, as construction tasks are being addressed, the creative team is preparing for the upcoming large-scale forums. Specifically, specialists are already developing a design layout for the stage setting for the main venue of the "Slavianski Bazaar."
