An evening where symphonic rigor meets theatrical intrigue: late Mozart and his witty singspiel about backstage, auditions, and ambitions will be performed. The concert features Symphony No. 39 and 'The Impresario' in concert format: live Russian dialogues, vibrant vocal scenes, and the thrill of competition familiar to every stage lover. Do you love when academic music tells a story rather than just serving as a beautiful sound background? This evening is structured like a mini-drama: first, Mozart's Symphony No. 39 is performed - one of the peaks of his late symphonism. It features solemn intonations, transparent dialogues of woodwinds, and the springy energy of the finale; the music holds attention like a well-written novel, where each chapter leads to the next. Next is the singspiel 'The Impresario' in concert performance. The genre of singspiel is special: vocal numbers are interspersed with spoken scenes, making the plot easy and quick to follow. The story was born from the fashion for backstage passions: the audience always wanted to know what happens on the other side of the stage - gossip, competition, rehearsal quarrels, and the struggle for the right to be first. According to the libretto by Johann Gottlieb Stephanie, impresario Frank assembles a new troupe and organizes auditions, while the contenders argue about supremacy and fees with such enthusiasm as if what is at stake is not a role, but fate. This piece also has a historical 'spice': in the 18th century, Emperor Joseph II commissioned one-act operas on theatrical subjects from Mozart and Salieri - a kind of competition between composers. The judgment of time has shaped it so that Mozart's work became a symbol of witty operatic self-reflection. In concert format, it is especially clear how the arias and ensembles are constructed, how the singers transition from lines to singing, and how the composer subtly laughs at vanity without turning the characters into caricatures. The Russian dialogues were prepared by Gleb Cherepanov - this helps to follow the intrigue without a language barrier. On stage are the soloists of the Academy of Young Opera Singers of the Mariinsky Theatre: here you can see how the future opera scene is formed.
