ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The musical work was created by P.I. Tchaikovsky in 1885 and became the second edition of the opera “Blacksmith Vakula” in 1874, written
on a libretto by Y.P. Polonsky.
The premiere of the opera “Blacksmith Vakula” took place on November 24 (December 6), 1876 on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater. The public warmly accepted the composer’s new work, but P.I. Tchaikovsky wrote a second version of the opera, calling it Cherevichki, in 1885. It was supplemented with new scenes, and the musical characteristics of the characters became more developed. The premiere took place at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater on January 19 (January 31), 1887. “Cherevichki” is one of the few operas by P.I. Tchaikovsky, where a large place is devoted to everyday scenes, and the main characters are ordinary people from the people. The music of the work is full of song intonations and rhythms of folk dances, often causing direct associations
with certain examples of folk art.
In the play, director Yu.I. Alexandrov together with the artist V.A. Okunev create a fantastic fairy tale that combines the bright folk color and pomp of imperial St. Petersburg.
The design of the performance will use motifs from the works of Carl Faberge,
as well as modern technologies: 3D projection and video art.
