Tchaikovsky's opera will sound like a chamber drama about inner vision and choice. This evening is dedicated to Pyotr Tchaikovsky's opera "Iolanta" in a staged version created specifically for the festival format. The musical dramaturgy is brought to the forefront here: the orchestra and choir work as a single organism, while the vocal parts form a continuous development of the plot-from quiet doubts to a bright resolution. The State Symphony Orchestra "New Russia" and the Chamber Choir of the Moscow Conservatory create a rich sound space where nuances and balance between soloists and ensemble are important. At the conductor's podium is Yuri Bashmet, whose interpretation of the opera emphasizes the clarity of form and the internal logic of the score. Director Pavel Safonov offers a stage reading focused on the psychological states of the characters. Costumes by Evgenia Panfilova and lighting by Ruslan Mayorov help to build a concise yet expressive visual environment where attention is directed to the music and the human voice. The performance features soloists with different timbral and acting characteristics: Valeria Tereykovskaya, Danil Knyazev, Arkady Chaikin, Igor Onishchenko, Andrey Bulgakov, Medea Chikashvili, Veronika Khorosheva, Anna Yurkus. Their interaction creates a dense dramatic fabric, where each part is heard as part of a collective expression. Ideas on where to go in Moscow are collected on our website.
