April theses

The past press conference cannot be considered as an ordinary annual event. We are talking about the actually the first independent season of the new director of the theater Anton Getman, appointed to this work last summer, but, as we have, quite suddenly. So finally we were voiced by a certain declaration of intent.

Even the early terms, in which the plans were published (not at the beginning of the season, as usual, but a lot of time, even before the Bolshoi Theater - our leader in long -term planning), something is said to be. First of all, about whose guest is actually the intensity of the famous opera festival in the ex-enard Bernard Fokrrul, who is now in Moscow. Two products of the festival - “Written on the skin” and “Four Night” in the production of Katie Mitchell - are shown these days at the previous place of Getman’s work, at the Bolshoi Theater. But now the Friendship of Exca with Stasik will be stronger. Fokrrul took part in a press conference, strengthening the franco-speaking wing (together with the new artistic director of ballet Laurent Iler ) of the Presidium in the Musical Living room of the theater on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, and a day earlier he met with the audience of the "Institute of theater" (the educational project "Golden Mask").

A beautiful undertaking was announced together with the Exc: over the next season, six important productions of the festival of recent years will show in the Moscow theater - Patris Sherro, “Magic Flate” by Simon Macburni, Richard Jones, “King Edip” and “Symphony of Psalms” by Peter Sellars, Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pellasa and Pellasa and Pellasa and Pelleas and Pelleas and Pellasa and Pellasa and Pellasa and Melizandu ”Katie Mitchell and Carmen Chernyakov (which he puts this summer). Of course, not alive, but on the screen. But for free. And with the comments of some participants. There are few places, since it will be on a chamber scene; Follow the posters, register on time.

- Friendship of Exca with Stasik will grow stronger.

As for their own products of the theater, new times are especially felt in the field of ballet, the impressive part of which is occupied by modern choreography. Before the heap, the theater accepts the troupe of the famous Belgian choreographer Anna Teresa de Cersmaker , Context Diana Vishneva and the Modern Dance Festival “Point of intersection”.

In the opera, everything looks, at first glance, much more Old Testament - Gandel, Verdi and Yanachka are selected for new productions. Nevertheless, tectonic shifts are tangible here. Leosha Yanachek “ENUF” not only makes repertoire freshness (for more than a hundred years, this beautiful opera has been put in our country three times), but also makes a brave application against the generally accepted rules of a good tone-they will not sing it in the original language, that is, Czech, but in Russian. So, Mamt does not want to blow in the same Dudu as Gabt, but is going to find his face and his place of the city theater “For normal people” - as “Comesche of Opera” in Berlin and the English national opera in London, where contrary to mods they sing in the language of listeners.

Another detail: two of the three directors of the premiere products are new people in the opera, but both are very heard. Macbeta Verdi puts Kama Ginkas, the stage version of the oratorio of Handel's “Triumph of Time and Upstate” puts (on the chamber stage) Konstantin Bogomolov. "Enuf" - behind the chief director of the theater Alexander Titel.

In addition, it is difficult not to notice that the main conductor of the theater Felix Korobov does not look the main one. Eugeni Brazchik conducts “Yenufoy”, he also goes on tour with the theater in Tel Aviv, the resumption of “Briefing in the monastery” by Prokofiev-Alexander Lazarev, Handel-Philip Chizhevsky. Korobov went to Macbeth and ballets. Having somewhat out of the general French refinement of the press conference, he, however, intensely stated that he did not intend to change the place of work in the near future.
