Famous spectators liked the opera

Politicians and cultural figures positively appreciated the opera at the libretto of the writer Vladimir Sorokin "Children of Rosental", whose premiere was held at the Bolshoi Theater on Wednesday.

“This is a very talented and modern work, it is very European. The beautiful music of Netellikov, the magnificent corps de ballet, magnificent decorations,” Irina Khakamada told Interfax of the party leader. In her opinion, now Russian theatrical art can compete with the European one.

“I heard similar operas that are held in France, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, London, Germany. I think we can congratulate us. It is even amazing that I did not expect that it would work out,” Khakamada noted.

This point of view was shared by the director Roman Viktyuk. “Only people are heartily not feeling and are still unable to be surprised that there is a miracle in the world, they may not feel that the authors of this performance shout that the crowd and the artist are incompatible, that the artist at all times is surprisingly lonely in the vise of human stupidity,” he said.

“We witnesses the activity of this stupidity and grayness, and the grayness is always aggressive, which we see. And I think that the artist is in danger today,” he noted, speaking of criticism of the opera.

“I really like it, it seems to me that this is fun. I’m not a specialist of the opera, but I see it smart, interesting and funny,” said the famous cultural figure Julius Gusman.

He expressed the surprise of "this strange and stupid hype around the opera" children of Rosental "." Today in the world there are more experimental and terrible, and funny, and stupid, and incredible projects in the opera, and this, in my opinion, is an innocent and very pretty venture, "Gusman added.

He noted that he did not notice in the opera "nothing undermining the foundations, nothing pornographic."

Sorokin: Critics of the opera "Children of Rosental" did not upset him

Vladimir Sorokin, author of the libretto of the opera "Children of Rosental", is convinced in the creative longevity of the production and that the attacks on it will soon stop.

“I think that all the foam will pass, and the“ children of Rosental ”will remain, because, in my opinion, the ten -elovkov (composer Leonid Tenthikov) made a good thing worthy of a large and other theaters,” Sorokin said “Interfax” on Wednesday, a few hours before the premiere of the opera.

“The new one in literature and art always paves the way for itself. It meets resistance in the most unexpected manifestations, sometimes in such as promotions“ going together. ”He must fight for art,” he emphasized.

According to Sorokin, he is not upset by a negative reaction to his work by some deputies and artists. “The fact that the“ children of Rosentali ”did not like our wild deputies, Mikhalkov did not like (chairman of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia Nikita Mikhalkov) is natural. If Mikhalkov liked them, I would even be upset, the writer said.“ It is much more important for me that they liked Lev Dodin and Kiril Serebrennikov (theater directors). creative people free from double standards. "

In his opinion, two pre -premiere “run”, which have already taken place in the Bolshoi Theater, caused a “very positive reaction of the hall”.

“Most of the hall was satisfied, although there were journalists and professionals - quite cynical and demanding people who are hard to surprise. I think that the production was a success that it will go for a long time, and normal people will enjoy it,” Sorokin concluded.
