Sergei Prokofiev's last ballet was difficult to create, did not have success at the premiere and had a great stage fate. The 1957 version by choreographer Yuri Grigorovich became a classic. The first production of Prokofiev's The Stone Flower in Yekaterinburg was similar to her.

Anton Pimonov is staging a completely new play. Together with Juliana Laikova– the artist of Tales of Perrault, now she acts as a set designer, costume designer and director – they start from the mythology of Bazhov's fairy tales and complement it by listening to Prokofiev's music. Today it is difficult to put a The Stone Flower only about the secrets of making a malachite vase. Following The Little Humpbacked Horse, the theater offers a performance about a special "Ural people", as well as how not to petrify if stone flowers grow around.

It was first staged at the Ural Opera in 2008. The second production

Audio descriptions for the performance were created with the support of the company "Culture of Vision"
