Schedule for Stravinsky. Opera "Mavra" (concert) "Les Noces" Russian choreographic scenes with singing and music 2022

Creative credo of "Helikon-Opera" - surprise the viewer with novelty and impudence, brilliant vocal and drama performance. Staging of "Moors" by Igor Stravinsky Alexander Pushkin "House in Kolomna" - a vivid example. For "Helikon" "Mavra" - a landmark essay: the representation of this comic opera in 1990 was marked by the birth of theater Dmitry Bertman. "Witty and surprisingly colorful spectacle filled with disarming, generous acting, improvisation, jokes and fun" (magazine "Playbill"). Fantastic, but recognizable metamorphosis of Russian life, grotesque characters and interweaving provisions, naughty and touching situations in which the heroes are Pushkin, formed the basis for the one-act "Moors." In her musical dramaturgy freely mix different genres, and even elements of folk and jazz.
Folk theme continues "Les Noces" Stravinsky - Russian choreographic scenes with singing and music. It refers to an ancient Russian village wedding ceremony culminating unwinding of the bride's tresses. "" The Wedding "- a following of typical wedding scenes recreated from scraps typical for this rite conversations" - explains the composer. Instrumental ensemble "Les Noces" consists solely of percussion instruments (piano, too, is treated as a percussion instrument). The combination of ringing, caustic and sharp tones with tart, unexpected harmonies and deliberately archaic, often bespolutonovymi popevki creates a very special flavor.
