Rustam Khamdamov’s film “Vocal Parallels” was initially subsidized in the mid-90s as a benefit performance of the singing miracle Eric Kurmangaliev, the hero of Viktyuk’s sensational play “M. Butterfly”, and as filming progressed it turned into a concert film of Kazakh opera divas with the host in the person of Renata Litvinova, where Eric, dressed as a woman and sounding off, became one of the forgotten divas in this funny parade.

On April 8, the exhibition “The Tkachev Brothers and Their Students” will end with an auction at the Sovkom gallery. More than a hundred paintings by the Tkachevs and 26 other authors will be put up for sale. Academicians Alexey and Sergey Tkachev are People's Artists of the USSR, educators of an entire school of Soviet plein airism, painting with a lightened color and a non-didactic plot: the grass is green, the sun is shining...

The most intriguing premiere of April is “The Adventure” by Mindaugas Karbauskis. It is produced by the Oleg Tabakov Theater and with the participation of Tabakov himself, Sergei Bezrukov and Boris Plotnikov, but will be shown on the big stage of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater.

went unnoticed (the recording of this opera with Esa-Pekka Salonen at the helm was nominated for a Grammy). Of course, to make her more convincing, she can be called a star, but in modern times this concept, not supported by stadium concerts, sounds very unconvincing. Claycomb is an example of a very high-quality modern singer who, in addition to singing roulades, should be able to do a lot more.

At the time of preparing this issue of Afisha, the International School of Photography and Multimedia, which has long existed at the Moscow House of Photography (albeit existing mainly on paper), has not even been installed yet. Which, hopefully, won’t hurt to submit videos by Victoria Begalskaya, Vladimir Dubossarsky, Vladimir Mishukov and other authors by the deadline. April 7-25

In April, a new brand will appear in Bustier - Kylie Minogue's Love Kylie lingerie. Kylie began producing lingerie in 2001 in collaboration with designer William Baker. Lingerie is funny - lace, bows, polka dots, pastel colors. Almost all models have L and K letter pendants with stones dangling from them, and on the tag is the singer herself in tiny black panties and a bra and heels - and it’s hard to come up with a better candidate for advertising here.

Twice a week, on Friday and Saturday, on the stage of the Red Riding Hood club, the best guys in Russia will compete in the art of seducing women. The winners will be determined by them - the visitors of the legendary “Little Red Riding Hood”, who will be able to vote for the most incendiary guy with special chips. The competition will last eight weeks. The best guy will receive a golden stripper statuette as a prize.

The daughter of Robert Rozhdestvensky is like Yevtushenko in photography: the wild success of her costume portraits among the simpler public; covers of glossy magazines; triviality of poetics. The costumed poses are collected into a whole with justification - supposedly, the personification of the twelve months. March 31 - April 26

It so happened that I recently spent ten days in Italy. The European boot is a pleasant country in all respects: focaccia, burrata, prosciutto, espresso, Borromini and, most importantly, ten degrees versus minus five in Moscow. And that’s not all: it turned out that if you look closely, the Italian people use many pleasant little things in life that most other peoples have not yet thought of. It stands, that is, with one foot in that very world of the future, which we are dotted out here.

The fact that many citizens consistently associate the sounds of the accordion with France is thanks not only to the film “Amelie”, but also to Richard Galliano Last year's festival was fun: people jumped out of their seats and jumped around the stage. This time, most likely, it will be different: the second edition of Le Jazz turns out to be much more academic. It is known that modern French pop culture largely survives at the expense of African music, and jazz is no exception.
