Repertoire Bolshoi Theater as of September 2017

More than two centuries New Year in Rus' it was celebrated in September. Times passed, a lot has changed. But the long-standing tradition of starting business in the first month of autumn resonates to this day. In September, schoolchildren sit down at their desks and students begin their studies. And at the Bolshoi Theater it opens new season - 242!

The repertoire for September 2017 at the country's main theater pleases with a constellation of familiar and already beloved productions. Large-scale, epic operas from Russian history “Boris Godunov” and “Prince Igor”, exemplary buffa operas “The Marriage of Figaro” and “Don Pasquale”, a cheerful and unrestrained ballet “Don Quixote”, a lyrical and tragic performance “The Flames of Paris”.

The Bolshoi Theater opens the parade of premieres of the new season with a wonderful performance for the whole family. The musical works “Carnival of the Animals” and “A Guide to the Orchestra for Young Listeners” are recognized as the best educational works for growing theatergoers. For all children who are partial to music, tickets to the Bolshoi Theater in September will be a wonderful gift.

In September, the Bolshoi Theater will celebrate the anniversary of the outstanding director Yuri Lyubimov - 100 years since his birth. First will be the opera "Boris Godunov", one of the last productions of the master. And at the end of the month, September 30, Lyubimov’s birthday, a gala concert will be held at which the meter’s personalized awards will be awarded.

Masquerade. Memories of the Future

Tours of the Alexandrinsky Theater. A large-scale, mystical painting about the torments of jealousy and suffering. The story described in Mikhail Lermontov’s drama “Masquerade” and interpreted by Vsevolod Meyerhold as a director formed the basis for Valery Fokin’s production. Despite the historical scenery and costumes, the action of the performance is outside of time and outside of space.

Boris Godunov

The greatest in meaning and musical language work. Modest Mussorgsky's opera is based on real historical events. The composer himself defined its genre as “folk musical drama.” And quite rightly so, because main character operas are common people. “Boris Godunov” is rightfully considered a standard example of the “grand style” and is the most popular Russian opera in the West, revealing the “mysterious Russian soul.”

love potion

The State Academic Symphony Chapel is recognized as one of the highly professional and creatively interesting musical groups in Russia. The unique group unconventionally combines an orchestra, choir and soloists. The “universal” structure of the chapel allows the performance of works of various genres. Concert versions of operatic masterpieces sound especially delightful in her performances. Gaetano Donizetti's opera “Elisir of Love” is no exception.

Swan Lake

Russian legend classical ballet- “Swan Lake” is a marvelous, amazing choreographic performance about kindness and cruelty, love and betrayal. A mystical plot, magical, bewitching dance, magical, captivating music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are the components of success and a guarantee of the love and adoration of the audience.

The Marriage of Figaro

A modern version of the “ideal comic opera” to the delightful music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The action of the cheerful and spectacular holiday performance was transferred to the 60s of the last century, the heroes gladly “tried on” the expressive aesthetics of a bright, turning point time. This is not the first time director Evgeny Pisarev has worked with Beaumarchais's work - he has also produced a production about the brave and resourceful Figaro in the drama theater. .

Don Quixote

Funny, ironic and charming story to the cheerful music of Ludwig Minkus. The enchanting production is replete with unbridled passions and love affairs. All that remains of Cervantes' work in the ballet is the name of the glorious hidalgo, and the main characters - Kitri and Basil - are the fruit of the imagination of the director Marius Petipa. “Don Quixote” is the only ancient ballet that “was born” on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater.

Sometimes music embraces the spirit like the sea

Masterpieces of French music of the 20th century performed by artists of the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra. The concert is a wonderful opportunity to look from the present at the charming music of the past, to feel the enchanting musical pictures of France and enjoy the amazingly beautiful works.

Don Pasquale

An ancient comedy, an exemplary opera buffa “Don Pasquale” by Gaetano Donizetti, presented in a modern setting. Directed by Timofey Kulyabin, known for unexpected and bold decisions, the result is an elegant, slightly sad production about very real, living people with their own biography, about old age and about love.

Carnival of animals. A Guide to the Orchestra for Young Listeners

Wonderful, fascinating compositions, the world's most popular educational musical works for children. Comical in form and seriously ironic in content, the suite “Carnival of Animals” by Camille Saint-Saëns is a “zoological fantasy”, consisting of laconic, original in instrumental composition 14 numbers. Enlightenment musician Benjamin Britten's magnificent Guide to the Orchestra reveals the wonderful and vibrant world of symphonic music.

Prince Igor

Large-scale epic presentation key points Russian history with emotional and patriotic overtones. Alexander Borodin’s work “Prince Igor”, with its deep content, sweeping narrative, melody, harmony and indescribable national flavor, is a masterpiece of Russian operatic art and an example of Russian monumental opera.

Flame of Paris

The beautiful and merciless events of the Great French Revolution, framed by the music of Soviet composer Boris Asafiev. The choreographic version by Alexei Ratmansky is a rethought and reworked original work. Handling the musical component with care, the director completely excluded political ups and downs from the play and focused on the complex, confused relationships between peasants and nobles.

Etudes, Carmen Suite

Two wonderful one-act ballets - in one evening on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. The skillful “Etudes” to the virtuoso music of Karl Czerny, staged by the Danish choreographer Harald Lander, have conquered the whole world - a hymn to dance, an ode to the ballet lesson. And the passionate, unrestrained “Carmen Suite”, staged by Alberto Alonso to the music of Georges Bizet and orchestrated by Rodion Shchedrin.

Concert for the 100th anniversary of Yuri Lyubimov

A tribute to the memory of the outstanding director Yuri Lyubimov, who performed his last magnificent productions on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. At a beautiful concert, awards named after the meter will be presented.

On October 29, the Alexandrinsky Theater hosted the Onegin National Opera Award ceremony, and the name of the Natalia Sats Children's Musical Theater was heard twice. The first time was when the special prize “Soul of Opera” was awarded to the head of the artistic and production department of the theater Nikolai Yezhov, and the second time when Georgy Isaakyan’s performance based on Vladimir Martynov’s opera “Exercises and Dances” was declared the laureate in the “Event: Innovation / Experiment” category Guido!...

Futuristic ballet by Kirill Simonov to music by Reinhold Gliere

Libretto by Olga Pogodina-Kuzmina

"Aelita" is a romantic and futuristic ballet, spectacular, dynamic - and very ironic. Revolution - and love, these are his main themes.

“I’m staging a romantic ballet - with a totalitarian poster-like content, and I perceive the whole story of flights to Mars partly as a comic book about beautiful deceived people, revolutionaries and dreamers who believed that they could change the world...
