Now is a difficult time. Where is the lie, and where is the truth? The dehumanization of people is happening before our eyes, moral laws are being violated. Genetic engineering is flourishing, dangerous experiments are being conducted. And, of course, "humanity, laughing, is parting with its past."
A heroic comedy in five acts by the French composer Jules Massenet. French libretto by Henri Caen. Like many other works, the main character of which is Don Quixote, Massenets opera only starts from the plot and characters of the famous novel by Cervantes.
When, under the pressure of circumstances, faith in ones own strength is lost, when dreams are indulged... only love remains.
The lyrical story of the love of a Russian guy and a Polish girl, told by the playwright Leonid Zorin in the middle of the last century, not only does not lose its relevance, but over time acquires a new sound, becoming more and more modern.
In Russia, the opera "Bohemian" has a solid experience and an uncountable number of productions both in the capitals and in the regions. But perhaps the most striking event in the history of Russian "Bohemia" was its premiere at the Opera Studio under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavsky in 1927. Young studio artists were acting out the action in modern Paris.
"It would seem that the first thought that should come to the mind of a director who undertakes the production of Aida is to try to do everything as Verdi wrote. Nevertheless, for some reason no one does exactly that. We used to think that "Aida" is a large–scale spectacle with spectacular scenery and costumes, marching extras, preferably even with elephants on stage. And all the time – forte, forte, forte! But if we open the score, we will see a completely different picture. More than half of the opera is piano and pianissimo.
The conductor and I agreed that we would follow all the authors instructions so that "Aida" from a magnificent show would once again become what it was intended to be – an intimate psychological drama. Before us is a classic love triangle: two women love one man. Everything else – politics, war, religion, intrigue – is the background on which the action unfolds."
"Papa" is a realistic family story that keeps viewers in emotional tension from the very beginning. Its an amazing mix of drama and comedy with elements of mysticism. Sergey Makovetsky and Marina Alexandrova tell the story of a father and daughter trying to realize the changes taking place with a man who is rapidly losing control of his mind.

We used to think that "Aida" is a large–scale spectacle with spectacular scenery and costumes, marching extras, preferably even with elephants on stage. And all the time – forte, forte, forte! But if we open the score, we will see a completely different picture. More than half of the opera is piano and pianissimo.
The conductor and I agreed that we would follow all the authors instructions so that "Aida" from a magnificent show would once again become what it was intended to be – an intimate psychological drama. Before us is a classic love triangle: two women love one man. Everything else – politics, war, religion, intrigue – is the background on which the action unfolds."
"Papa" is a realistic family story that keeps viewers in emotional tension from the very beginning. Its an amazing mix of drama and comedy with elements of mysticism. Sergey Makovetsky and Marina Alexandrova tell the story of a father and daughter trying to realize the changes taking place with a man who is rapidly losing control of his mind.

In Russia, the opera "Bohemian" has a solid experience and an uncountable number of productions both in the capitals and in the regions. But perhaps the most striking event in the history of Russian "Bohemia" was its premiere at the Opera Studio under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavsky in 1927. Young studio artists were acting out the action in modern Paris.
"It would seem that the first thought that should come to the mind of a director who undertakes the production of Aida is to try to do everything as Verdi wrote. Nevertheless, for some reason no one does exactly that.
