Sting

On another planet

And last week the State Kremlin Palace listened to Sting. Here the world tour of the famous British rock singer began. Forty -five countries are indicated on a difficult route on which the newly released album “Mercury Falling” is to be promoted.

Why Sting started a cruise with Russia is unknown. (Previously, none of the stars of the first magnitude made Russia the starting point of the world tour.) Lee the reason whether the irrational craving for everything Russian is God the news. In any case, immediately after landing in Sheremetyevo, Sting called Russia "another planet." So he remained an alien for three days.

The organizer of the tour - “Alfa -Bank” worked out gloriously: the touching Steingskoye “squeezes, Moscow” flew out of the TV for almost a year. But not only this is why tickets (from 75 to 750 thousand rubles) disappeared from the box office long before the start of concerts. Going to the Kremlin Palace is an old Russian custom.

Sting in Moscow yearned. The children left in England were dreaming, and the beautiful wife Trudi Sumner. However, he held on to the well done. The cultural program was original. Steingovsky “ZIL” was seen from the Tretyakov Gallery, the Bolshoi Theater, Leninka, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. And even at the English embassy. The STING number, granted to the guest car, did not surprise anyone - the tag on the cage of a outlandish bird.

Concerts were successful. Sting sang at full power, as expected. Dressed modestly. In a word, I did not go beyond. Not like Michael Jackson.

The listeners listened. The guard kept. The duration of the representations specified in the contract (at least 1 hour 45 minutes) was clearly insufficient: they were in no hurry to diverge. They shouted “more” with such fervor, as if European stars could sing a hundred times on “BIS”, like the soloists of the red -banned ensemble.

Sting fell in love with Russia. And went on. Peter Barbarisov
