Movie

The number of film critics who claim that Manoj Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense is worth a lot is enough to warrant watching this film. In addition, the film story of the relationship between a boy who sees spirits and a psychoanalyst is a champion at the American box office. The psychoanalyst is played by Bruce Willis. Next week we will publish a review of it, so you can look at it first and then compare your impressions.

Kodak Kinomir, Under the Dome, Pushkinsky, February 24-27.

Theater

It makes no sense to recommend this performance, since it is completely impossible to get into it. People who are somehow close to the theater are allowed in. But strictly one by one. An actor's biographer or composer specialist may watch the performance no more than once. It is apparently impossible to compare the significance of the upcoming event with anything else: Anatoly Vasiliev staged “Mozart and Salieri”. This is not relevant, but the other day one doctor in America once again found out that Salieri is not guilty of anything. Musicologist Mikhail Saponov wrote that it was Mozart who was jealous of Salieri, and not vice versa. My son wrote an article in Izvestia where he stated: “What I don’t like about Mozart is that he begged when he was poor.” God forbid, I don’t know where he got it from. In Anatoly Vasiliev’s performance, there is also no living place left for Mozart. This is how the plan of this genius is now turning around. Vasiliev's "Requiem" by Mozart replaces "Requiem" by Vladimir Martynov. Previously, Vasiliev staged the play “The Lamentation of Jeremiah” to the music of Martynov, in which the “Sirin” ensemble sang and performed. In "Mozart and Salieri" again "Sirin", and in addition also Tatyana Grindenko with the ensemble. Martynov says that “Lamentations of Jeremiah” is resting.

Music

Cellist Ivan Monighetti, one of the leaders of the Moscow avant-garde of the 70s and 80s, now comes to Moscow no more than once a year. Last week he already gave a chamber concert in an ensemble with Yuri Polubelov, and it was very impressive. Now Monighetti will play the poem “Don Quixote” by Richard Strauss with the Russian National Orchestra. The second part will feature the Brahms Quartet orchestrated by Schoenberg - a phenomenal piece. At the conductor's stand is Andrey Boreyko.

Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, February 21.

Ivan Sokolov is a pianist and composer. Even when he plays other people's works, it seems that they were written by him. The concert program includes Haydn and Mussorgsky. While performing “Pictures at an Exhibition,” Ivan Sokolov once explained to the public his theory, according to which the Gospel characters act in Mussorgsky’s cycle. The rich Jew in the play "Two Jews" is Christ (only spiritually rich). The unhatched chicks are either roosters that have not yet had time to crow, or the apostles of Petra themselves. At the same time, Vanya played so hard that he broke the Japanese piano. Five years passed before he was allowed to perform the work again.

Small Hall of the Conservatory, February 25.

Well, and of course - a solo concert by Eliso Virsaladze. Chopin.
