ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
On February 7, 2024, at the Moscow International House of Music on the Theater stage, an event will take place that opens a new page in the history of music – the opening of the 1st international opera festival “Muffled Voices” in memory of the outstanding composer Tatyana Chudova.
The opening of the festival includes three opera premieres that not only reflect the depth and diversity of women’s contributions to music, but also demonstrate the skill and innovation of their creators:
Tatiana Chudova, “Tatiana’s Dream”
For mezzo-soprano, quintet and electronic sound
The mono-mini-opera by Tatiana Chudova is based on the fragment of the same name from A. S. Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin”.
Leading soloist of the Helikon Opera Theater Alexandra Kovalevich, master of sports in aesthetic gymnastics Victoria Mikhailets and the Lyrica Classic quintet will take viewers into the world of dreams and illusions.
Tatyana Chudova, “Russian Women”
For two soloists and piano
The opera by Tatiana Chudova, through the poems of N. Nekrasov, A. Pushkin and the Decembrist poets, tells the story of how princesses Trubetskaya and Volkonskaya went to pick up their husbands in exile in Siberia.
Guest soloists of Carnegie Hall, Musikverein and the Bolshoi Theater, singers Yulia Petrachuk and Olga Nadezhdina, together with pianist Karina Pogosbekova, are preparing to present the world premiere of this work.
Amy Mercy Beach “Cabildo”
For 6 soloists, choir and trio
An opera with a historical plot about the colonial prison in New Orleans and the escape of the pirate Pierre Lafitte. Its author, Amy Mercy Beach, is one of the leading figures of the Boston school of composition of the early 20th century, a pianist who has earned fame as the unofficial “leader of American women composers.”
The opera “Cabildo” will be presented in Russia for the first time, performed by leading soloists of the Bolshoi Theater, the Musical Theater named after. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, Mariinsky Theatre, Metropolitan Opera and La Scala: Stanislav Lee, Polina Sharovarova, Olga Seliverstova, David Sanikidze, Denis Sedov, Ilya Hardikov, vocal ensemble ARIELLE and soloists of the BACH quartet.
All three operas are staged by the young opera director Elizaveta Korneeva, known for her work with leading musical theaters in Russia and Europe, including the Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet Theater, the Mariinsky Theater, the State Theater of Hannover and the Grand Theater of Geneva.
