In July 2013, a senior violinist died after falling into the orchestra pit. Sadly, this is not the first time a death has happened at the Bolshoi. The theater added that it was assisting investigators as they investigated all of the circumstances around Kulesh’s death. The rest of the performance was canceled and the audience was refunded.
