ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Grooms operetta by playwright N. Aduev and composer I. Dunaevsky is one of the first Soviet operettas. Written at the time of the NEP in 1927, it had a pronounced satirical and parodic orientation, it ridiculed the negative characters of that time – the Nepmen and the townsfolk. The operetta was successfully performed in many Soviet theaters, and in 1962, based on its motives, the director V. Vasiliev created a television movie of the same name.

The action of the operetta has been postponed to the present and takes place in the fashionable restaurant “Olympus”.
