The tragic story of Cio-Cio-San sounds like a confession - in the concert performance of "Madama Butterfly," it will unfold through the orchestra, choir, and soloists. Puccini's opera will be presented in a concert format, where the focus is entirely on music and words: without decorations and costumes, but with the colors that the orchestra and choir know how to paint. This makes it easier to hear how drama grows from almost weightless intonations - from quiet expectations to sharp, almost cinematic flashes. At the podium is Valery Polyansky, and on stage is the State Academic Symphony Chapel of Russia. This ensemble confidently works with large operatic canvases: the choral episodes here become not just a background, but a full-fledged hero that either supports the breath of the stage, intensifies the tension, or leaves the listener alone with the pain of the story.
