Diaghilev-24

The program of the current Diaghilev festival resembles a schedule of either long -distance trains, or monastery services on Athos. For example: from one to three in the morning they give “ Cantos ” by Alexei Syumak , then we run to the temple-museum to the wooden “Perm gods” to listen to the Liegoti and the Bingenskaya Hildegard, then we meet the dawn in Kama, drink coffee with the added thermos with the coffee. In a slightly more familiar time, the theater-theater plays musical instruments in large aquariums with water (the Danish project of Aquasonic ), and in the Diaghilean gymnasium people in white from the Italian center of the hedgehog of Grotovsky live and sing Christian texts (performance “Hidden sayings”). The new perfume Theros 17 from Theodore Kurentsis, who is also somehow becoming a festival event, wraves the East. Spiritualization is in parallel with glamorization, but in an incomprehensible way they do not contradict each other.

Of course, exhibitions, film screenings, master classes, lectures, and even morning yoga classes in a festival club-score in front of the opera theater are attached. Twice a day of the group of strange people in headphones start from the city cemetery to the "Broditka" around the city, driven by the computer voice of the Remote project PERM ” (Perm is the third Russian city after St. Petersburg and Moscow, which entered this international game ), periodically causing the curses of local social networks. The appropriate instances also receive complaints about the insult of feelings with “red men with the face of Diaghilev” who settled the theater square. But this is, rather, a funny piquant seasoning for a supermined and super -minute event, which is now the Diaghilev festival.

The festival this year (it takes place from May 14 to 25) began what ended in previous years - Muler's symphony performed by the expanded Musicaeterna orchestra. This time was the first. The orchestra arrived straight from Venice, where he performed it as part ofthe opening of Biennale . There, Krentzis did not miss the opportunity to swim with the musicians on the island of San Michele to the graves of his cartridge Diaghilev and Stravinsky, whose 135th anniversary is celebrated this year, and play Adagis from the fifth symphony of Malera (even harps were taken there by water). The same adagitto at the opening concert in Perm was remembered by the permanent director Oleg Romanovich Lovenkov, who led the Diaghilev festival since 2003 and in 2012 well-inscribed in the Krentzis team.

Alban Berg's violin concert “Memory of Angel” (written by the composer under the impression of the death of the 18-year-old daughter Alma Maler and Walter Gropius), in which the Violinist Ilen, Prietechin, was also consistent with the farewell concert of Alban Berg “. In general, the festival began with the climax, the degree of intensity and the level of surprise from the seemingly by heart of the famous music were about a year ago on the “traviat” . This summer, Permians are played by Malera and Berg at the festival in Salzburg , Moscow and Peter will hear this program in the fall.

If before the Diaghilev festival fascinated by the fact that during it you can meet almost everyone you know and love, now, perhaps, the most fascinating one is the recognition of the good that I have not yet suspected. It's not only about music in aquariums. First of all, this is a feeling of arable land, which has stolen it (all telling about the DF, they are used to apologizing for the pathos, but without it nowhere). It grows simply from all holes, not fitting in the main program. All these “laboratories of the modern viewer”, extensive educational programs, fussing tour operators, pillows, scattered along the floor of the opera Theater instead of stalling seats during the performances of the star of the Azerbaijani Mugam Alim Gasimov and the star of the Indian rag of the Kharipasada Chauurasia, the youth around the “Rezonance” award , the youth around the composer projects, the youth, the youth, the youth, Young people around ancient music - and it seems that whole crowds of new, curious, open and mainly young people poured.

And yes, they significantly pushed those who habitually demand the “Snow Maiden” and “Nutcracker”, otherwise “there is nowhere to take the child.” But for some reason, there is no despondency from this. On the contrary, now and then there are reasons for joy. Whether it is the excellent #Bradberioper (a joint project of graduates of the educational program of the last festival and the composer Academy in Tchaikovsky , as a result, the names of the composer Andrei Besogonov and conductor Azima Karimov should be remembered). Or playing the four strings from Musicaeterna (one of which is the just playing Berg Ailen Potochin) on the same stage with Azerbaijani Kemanchy and Tar. Or the gradually emerging habit of music lovers from other cities and even countries to spend a vacation in Perm, which no longer seems wild. Or the toothy chronicles of the young Novosibirsk blogger , whose dashing is touching in contact with the charisma of the protagonist of everything here.
