Irina Krutova invites you on a musical journey through the ages - from Shakespeare to the present day. The program will feature sonnets, romances, and vocal miniatures in her original performance. It is an evening where words become music, and music reflects delicate feelings and living poetry. The musical-literary evening "Manuscripts Don't Burn" with the participation of Ekaterina Volkova is not just readings, a concert, or a performance. It is an open, lively, and multi-layered narrative about feelings, time, poetry, and music, where the immortal lines of Mikhail Bulgakov come to life alongside the melodies of Chopin, Shostakovich, Debussy, and Rachmaninoff. Film and theater star, singer, poet, and actress Ekaterina Volkova invites the audience into a space where words and music acquire special density and magnetism. A key element of the program will be excerpts from "The Master and Margarita," including "Margarita's Flight" and "The Ball Scene" - accompanied by the music of Johann Strauss, who is celebrating his 200th anniversary. This emphasis gives the evening a festive yet dramatic depth. The audience will witness a magical fusion of prose and classical sound, where each word is like a note, and each note is like a character's line. In addition to Bulgakov, the program includes works by Nabokov, Maupassant, Pushkin, Akhmatova, Limонов, Voznesensky, and a rare poetic cycle by Igor Severyanin dedicated to Sergei Rachmaninoff. These texts, combined with the improvisations of pianist Nika Sarapian and songs by Ekaterina Volkova herself, create an atmosphere where memories, images, feelings, and tenderness come to life. The participation of Volkova herself as a performer adds special value to the evening - her songs have been featured in films and series, and she does not just read poetry but lives it. The program is suitable for those who love an intimate atmosphere, intellectual evenings, unconventional musical forms, fans of Bulgakov, classical music, and the performing arts.
