(KZN.RU, July 16, by Alisa Rozanova) Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin met with a team of stage directors in charge of the Universiade closing ceremony.

Large-scale rehearsals of the show, which will be the final chord of the 27th World Summer Student Games, are proceeding at the “Kazan-Arena” football stadium. "In 48 hours, we'll see the results of two-and-a-half years' work on the show," said the director of the opening and closing ceremonies Aleksey Sechenov. Recall that the details of the final show, just like in the case of the opening ceremony, are kept secret.

Ilsur Metshin said that the main feeling about the approaching final show is sadness. "Two days remain before the closing of the Universiade, and it's sad. It looks like the end of a good movie, when you already know the plot... However, we're keeping certain things secret about the closing ceremony. Judging by the requests received by the city administration, the interest in the upcoming ceremony is even higher than that in the opening show. Such high expectations pose a big challenge. I'm sure you won't let us down," concluded the mayor.
