Folk-ethnographic theatre of museum 'Kizhi' - is a folklore ensemble presents ancient songs, dances, reconstruct clothes and ceremonies of old times. As usual it's authentic female choir singing of Russian North traditions. But it's better to hear once than to read about it 100 times.

It's historical name of the district of Karelia, located on Zaonezhski peninsula in the northern part of Onega, one of the distinctive places of Karelia and Russian North.
