Since the mystical Lehman mansion was built at the end of the 19th century, everyone who came to the evening for an hour and a half was transported to 1896, becoming guests of Irina Nikolaevna Arkadina ("The Seagull" by A. P. Chekhov), three sisters ("Three Sisters" by A. P. Chekhov), Ivan Petrovich ("Uncle Vanya" by A. P. Chekhov). The mansion has been restored, including the garden Ranevskaya ("the Cherry orchard" by A. Chekhov).

When the songs performed by the aristocratic Irina Bose - the golden voice of Russian romance-began to sound, the guests who were in other halls immediately rushed to the music room.
