Lyrical tragedy by Gaetano Donizetti directed by Sergey Novikov and conducted by Felix Korobov. The thirty-third opera by Donizetti became a turning point in his career. The composer, known as a master of musical comedy, revealed his lyric-dramatic gift, which elevated him to a new level of fame. In Russia, "Anna Bolena" is rarely staged, largely due to the high demands for mastery of the bel canto vocal style. The performance transports the audience to 16th century England, where against the backdrop of courtly luxury and inhumane conspiracies unfolds the tragedy of Anna - the second wife of Henry VIII. The artistic design of the performance strives for historical accuracy: from castle interiors with tapestries to costumes sewn in the fashion of the time.
