Tchaikovsky's opera "Iolanta" in a semi-staged format will immerse you in a touching story of love and awakening. The semi-staged performance of Tchaikovsky's opera "Iolanta" at the Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall is an opportunity to view a classical work through the lens of concentrated musical expressiveness. There are no sets or costumes, but the emotional and sonic grandeur of the operatic stage is fully present. "Iolanta" is Tchaikovsky's last opera, combining tenderness and philosophical depth. The plot tells the story of a blind princess who grew up in isolation and does not know what light is. Only love and the danger threatening her chosen one awaken in her the desire to see. The story reveals important themes - the power of inner awakening, the healing power of love, and faith in miracles. This evening will be part of the festival "Towards the Anniversary of Peter Tchaikovsky." Where to go in St. Petersburg, we tell on our website.
