Shashlik & Samovar Picnic
Grill masters, samovar tea, games for the kids and a guitar circle at sunset.

You know the songs. You know the moves. You've just been pretending you don't since you moved here. Diskoteka 90s is our flagship retro party — one night when The Opera House turns into the discotheque of your youth: the hits of the dvor back to back, a light show your school gym could only dream of, and a crowd that knows every word.
Expect dance battles with actual prizes, a karaoke corner for the brave, a photo zone with props you'll regret and cherish, and a midnight confetti drop. Sport suits, leather jackets and your finest 1997 look are warmly encouraged — there's a prize for best outfit, judged by the crowd, decided by volume.
| 8:00 PM | Doors open — warm-up set, photo zone, first snacks out |
| 9:00 PM | Main set begins — the anthems, in chronological order |
| 10:15 PM | Dance battle, round one — crowd judges |
| 11:00 PM | Karaoke corner opens — sign-up at the bar |
| 12:00 AM | Midnight confetti drop + best outfit award |
| 12:30 AM | Slow-dance block — you know the one |
| 1:00 AM | Final hour — requests taken, resistance futile |
19+ event, ID at the door. Tickets are cheaper online than at the door — and the last two editions sold out, so don't do the "we'll decide on Friday" thing. Group tables of 6+ get reserved seating and a zakuski platter.
The Opera House is at Queen St E and Broadview — streetcar 501 stops at the door, paid parking nearby. The venue is accessible; contact us in advance if you need accommodations and we'll sort it out.
Grill masters, samovar tea, games for the kids and a guitar circle at sunset.
Full banquet, live band, and midnight celebrated twice — Toronto time and Moscow time.
A hosted casino-themed evening with symbolic scoring — entertainment only, elegance mandatory.

VIP Showtime offers casino-themed evenings as a hosted entertainment service. Guests play at roulette, blackjack and poker themed tables using symbolic chips guided by professional hosts. Chips have no monetary value, cannot be purchased with or exchanged for money, and results carry no financial outcome.
Every guest receives the same allocation of symbolic chips at the start of the evening. Professional hosts explain the games, guide play and keep the atmosphere light. Scoring is for fun and friendly competition only — a leaderboard of chips, nothing more.
Casino-themed evenings are designed for adult audiences (18+). This reflects the sophisticated, evening-reception character of the format.
