Rossini’s operatic masterpiece The Barber of Seville has been staged all over the world, and even children recognize Figaro’s famous aria, while “Figaro qua, Figaro la” and “La calunnia e un venticello” have become bywords.
The witty Rossini, being not only an outstanding composer but also a brilliant cook, developed the recipe for the opera’s incessant, astounding success. Here it is: take seven bright characters and an intoxicating love intrigue, spice the mixture with humorous dialogues, dress with wonderful melodies and sprinkle virtuosic ensembles on top. Rossini’s masterpiece has been cooked by the Novaya Opera’s Chef, Maestro Eri Klas, accomplished English stage director Elijah Moshinsky and topnotch English designer Anne Tilby, specially invited for the occasion.


Moshinsky has set "The Barber" in what he calls "a vague 1920s." "I wanted to find a naive time," he said, "<…> My setting isn't real, of course, but the characters have to be real."
<…> "Every word has to be known and felt, and the recitatives have to sparkle." To that end, his work with the cast at Novaya Opera began with the text. "That is how we always start in England," he said.
<…> "From what I've seen of opera here," he said, "there is a tendency to overdemonstrate, to try very hard to express. I believe I've gotten my singers to lighten up and given them a bit of English style." In order to maintain that style, Moshinsky has trained them to say to themselves "Life is good" before making an entrance on stage.
<…>"You have to learn to connect with the music," he said, "and then to direct with it, which is a completely different technique from what is used in spoken drama. The first thing I do is to analyze the text and the music and try to find their inner structure and inner meaning. In communicating that, I want the audience to be filled with a joy that comes from the music. At the same time, I don't want them to be aware of the director. His hand should remain invisible."

Synopsis

Often considered the epitome of the classical ballets, Swan Lake is a tale of love, betrayal, and triumph of the good over the evil. Filled with romance and beauty, this ballet enchants audiences for over a century.


The choreography requires high technical skills and a tremendous execution on the representation of characters in this story, particularly the clash of characters in figurative purity of the White Swan and intrigue, duplicitous, of the Black Swan, requiring virtuosity and dramatic talent by the Principal dancer especially in the two Grand Pas de Deux, ballets in Scene II and Scene III. Another moment of climax is the delightful Dance of the Little Swans.

The prestige and notoriety achieved by timeless Swan Lake are motivated by the inspiring music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, but also inventive and expressive choreography by Marius Petipa that, linking the human body with the movements of a swan, reveals the genius of its potential and choreographic artistic creativity. Pyotr Tchaikovsky composed this work of the transcendent, the Suite Op.20 perpetuates the name of the composer. The success of his compositions resulted from the ability to express their feelings through musical idiom, creating intense and emotive melodies.


Swan Lake tells the story of Odette, a young woman cursed by the sorcerer Von Rothbart, condemned her to the figure of a swan during the day and human overnight. Only a declaration of true love can break her free of the curse.

A true poetic romantic theme, where good triumphs evil. This classic production features lavish scenery, gorgeous costumes and a corps de ballet outstanding, led by two of the International Dance Stars.
