The holidays have passed

What cultural can happen for the New Year-Red Vocity holidays? Nothing happened.

This phrase from the article by Ksenia Rozhdestvenskaya (Gazeta.ru) can be safely taken to the epigraph - so clearly it characterizes the general "post -cicacular" mood of the print media. Therefore, the first half of the past week did not bring much joy to lovers of fresh review and operational critical commentary. Yes, and there was almost nothing to respond to - except once again to garbage the theme of New Year's TV. Here the main character was actor Andrei Danilko (he is Verka Serduchka). Yuri Bogomolov ("Izvestia"):

“Who would have thought and imagine that not Galkin, not Vinokur, not Petrosyan and Alla Pugacheva, but the shy Ukrainian artist Andrei Danilko, with his partially inflatable doll with Verka, will be a triumph of the Russian New Year’s television? They overshadowed all the Russian poppes for a couple ... Serdyuchka became a real Figaro New Year's celebrations on television.”

If we talk about the less obsessive branches of culture, then the attention of newspapers last week, mainly music, ballet and cinema were awarded.

Music

The joint concert of the "Academy of Old Music" Tatyana Grindenko and the Auktsyon group in the Hall of Tchaikovsky - an event, which is called "out of the ordinary." This is written by Boris Barabanov ("Kommersant"):

"Such a concert is an excellent information reason for the press, a proven PR tool, the same as, for example, an acoustic concert or album of covers. Most often, the projects of combination of rock and classics become the result of complete and hopeless degradation of artists. Discoveries in this genre have not happened for a long time, and even more so on the Russian stage. What was shown in the Tchaikovsky hall, it was transmitted. All the most daring expectations. "

Grigory Zaslavsky (NG) shares universal delight and bewilderment :

" There was something to catch the buzz: on the stage of Tchaikovsky’s concert hall, where, for example, Andrei Andreyevich Voznesensky rises each time with a new poetic dedication, the musicians Grindenko went out in black, and rockers - solemn occasion for the sake of the sake of sewn camisers.

They played without any pauses, alternating ancient hymns in honor of the newborn Jesus with the songs of Fedorov and Garkushi (which, the only one, was not in the Camisole, but not in black, but in the likeness of the "domino" of Harlequin).

They played together, although in how both of each other and others were included in each other’s game, there was something that related to the Jam-Syeshn, where, on the stage, it happens that unfamiliar or not familiar musicians converge. But the music nevertheless succeeds.

The energy costs of the rockers were more noticeable: when two or three songs after Fedorov freed himself from the Camisole, his white shirt with wide old cuffs had already stuck to his back . "

Another quote from the mentioned article of Ksenia Rozhdestvenskaya contains elements of folk etymology:

" Those spectators who habitually came to listen to Auktsyon received Persella with Vivaldi, Grindenko’s nervous violin and organ passion. But those who came to listen to classical music had to swallow both the touching grafting poems of the Garkushi, and the extra-country cries of Fedorov, and the bacchanalia that the musicians arranged from the song" everything is spinning. "That Most likely, from the word "vertebus".

And the same Boris Barabanov closes the plot:

"The triumph concert in the Tchaikovsky hall set such a high bar for mass concert spectacles of the capital, which now, in order to create something, even brighter and more honest, the forces will be required even more impressive."

Publicly expressed by the words "eclecticism" and "syncretism" no one has become. Although there were fears.

Ballet

Bolshoi Theater.

Association jumped out?

Volochkova? They did not guess! It’s hard to believe, but for several days now about the main theater of the country is written and talked without mentioning the ex-prime. The Bolshoi Theater is touring in Paris. The reviews are contradictory.

The tone is set by Mikhail Malykhin ("New Izvestia"):

" The Bolshoi Theater does not remember the more strange tour from the day of its founding. There were more magnificent, more loud, more scandalous, but there were never such unusual ones. "

The first problem is that in Paris a large one is not that the second composition, but not the main stars. For various reasons, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Sergey Filin, Nina Ananiashvili and Svetlana Lunkina did not go to France.

The second problem is formulated on the pages of the "newspaper" Mark Hageman: Grigorovich is outdated. But, ”the critic adds,“ Paris in euphoria. ”

" If we talk about the atmosphere prevailing in the opera, then it can be designated in one word - euphoria. On the two performances of the" Swan Lake ", which I visited, the audience of the Garnier Palace was obvious from the Russian guests, but was much less captured by the production itself. The" Swan Lake "in the editors of Grigorovich makes the impression of old -fashionedness, the viewer is proposed to believe the viewer. The mystery, allegedly created by a poorly set light ... In a word, in return for the former greatness we are shown the gray everyday life of Lake Lebed and the Zigfried castle.

Artists deserve exclusively praise. Bulbed comments and discussions among the audience in the intermissions concerned all aspects of the performance: starting with reverent enthusiasm of the flight jumps of men and virtuosity of the jester, with the surprise of the incomprehensibly noisy shoes of Russian artists - until compared the styles and productions of the Bolshoi Theater and the Parisian opera, to the remarks of the difference in musical pace, observations of the manner partners and other things. Parisians showed a lot of enthusiasm at the play where Anna Antonicheva (Odette-Odillas) and Ruslan Skvortsov (Siegfried) were the leading couple, although these artists looked adequately, but no more. At the performance, where Svetlana Zakharova and Andrei Uvarov performed in these roles, the audience fell simply into a frenzy. "

According to Tatyana Kuznetsova ("Kommersant"), in the opinion that Grigorovich is outdated, the entire French public converges. The same author sums up the first days of tour:

“The novelties of the Bolshoi, the“ daughter of the pharaoh ”in the production of the Frenchman Lakott and“ Cat in the bag ”(“ The Bright Stream ”by Alexei Ratmansky), arouse much more interest than the“ swans ” - a carefully ironed, but shabby business card of a large one.”

Another recent information reason related to the ballet is the anniversary of Roland Petit. Naturally, Vladimir Putin congratulated the greatest impression on the media in the media that Vladimir Putin congratulated Petya. However, in addition to officialdom, there is also a publication in the "newspaper", where Nikolai Tsiscaridze shares his memories of Rolan Petya:

“Even before Petit’s arrival, they said that there is an interesting boy, whose name is Nicolas, and they said the last name, which he naturally did not remember. But he remembered the name, since his beloved artist Nicolas Le Rish. He asked:“ Where is you like Nicolas? ” “Well, it is so uninteresting, it’s so bad, it’s not like that, and we can’t show it”, but Petty had only two days in search of Hermann, but he rejected everyone once again. He does not go to class. '

But it happened - this is fate, probably, at that moment I ran from one hall to another. There was one of the orchestral rehearsals of Swan 'Grigorovich, and Yuri Nikolaevich asked me to be in a suit. And I ran to the costume not through the elevator, but through the hall. The translator Petya grabbed me by the hand and asked: 'Are you Tsiscaridze? Do you know what is looking for you for the second day? ' The first thing he asked me: 'Why don't you go to classes?' I say: 'How don't I go? So I just studied in the next room. And it is strange that the leadership does not know that I have been studying in the Semenova class for the past twelve years. ' And the leadership immediately stood.

He wanted to see me. We scheduled the meeting in the evening in some room after the run of the 'Swan'. He was late and, as the translator later said, watched me for a long time through the keyhole. Then he entered the classroom, asked to take off his clothes - the winter was, asked to make some combinations, looked intently in my eyes and said: 'I put the ballet on you' '.

Movie

In the Russian periodicals of the last week, American cinema was present in the form of mentions of nominees and laureates of not the most prestigious film awards:

“The choice of the people” is the most perhaps the democratic of all American film and teleprenea. The winners are determined on the basis of polls conducted by the Gallpa Institute and after counting the votes sent on the Internet. Such democracy is associated with inevitable simplifications, which is why rewards are awarded only in eighteen nominations that combine achievements in the field of cinema, television and show business. In total, folk prizes are traditionally obtained by filmmakers, and in the case of actors, it is never about specific roles in specific films (relatively speaking, a universal favorite can get a bonus, even if not a single film with his participation has been released last year) .

Alla Fedina ("Izvestia") sums up the predictable result of the "choice of critics":

"The choice of critics" completely and completely fell on the "lord of the rings: the rest of the king." The picture of Peter Jackson, who has all the chances of overcoming the billion milestone at the box office, received 4 awards: for the best film, the best work of the director, the best cast and the best music composed by Howard Shor. "

The Russian cinema is still mentioned mainly in the genre of "Results of the Year." Both Maria Kuvshinova ("Hedgehog"), and Irina Lyubarskaya ("Results") once again recall "Return", "Boomer" and "Anti -Killer".

As for the prime minister, the cinema of Korean, led by Kim Ki-fool, comes to the fore. Two paintings of this director immediately go to Russian rental, which event could not but find reflection in periodicals. Anton Dolin ("Gazeta") clearly explains the reasons for the popularity of the picture "Spring, summer, autumn, winter ... And again spring":

“ To understand the audience experiencing euphoria about the new work of Kim Ki-Faces can easily. Those who have a weakness for Asian mysteries and beautifulities will receive what they always dreamed about-the genuine quintessence of Buddhist poetry. Others who prefer banal Hollywood will finally meet at least something understandable and accessible in the difficult world of copyright cinema. It is known: Kim Ki-Trush is not making films for the weak in spirit.
