Earlier this weekend, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin’s wife Nastasiya Shubskaya attended a live performance by Russian folk-rock star Pelageya as part of the Summer Sound open-air concert series in Moscow.

Held at the Design-Zavod venue, the festival is part of a month-long citywide event backed by major sponsors and features nightly solo sets by top Russian artists. On Saturday, Nastasiya shared a series of stories from the concert featuring the stage production and large crowd in attendance.

Filming from a VIP terrace suite overlooking the packed venue, she captured various moments from Pelageya’s performance including a scenic orange-lit opening, psychedelic green visuals, and a finale filled with bold blue-and-red lighting.

The Summer Sound series runs from July 17 to August 17 across multiple Russian cities and has become a major cultural highlight of the summer. Pelageya’s show on July 18 was one of the standout performances of the Moscow leg. VIP areas like the Tinkoff Lounge and Beeline VIP section were available for special guests.
