The capricious king has reviewed almost three thousand girls but has not chosen a bride for himself. But what kind of kingdom is there without a queen! One day, the discerning monarch is helped by a wizard. Carlo Gozzi is the creator of the genre called "fiaba" - a tragicomic fairy tale for the theater. He believed that the comedy of masks is the best that Venice has given to Italian theatrical art. His fiabas are staged all over the world and invariably delight the audience. The audience will meet classic commedia dell'arte characters - Brighella and Truffaldino, Pantalone, Smeraldina, and Tartaglia. Wonderful music, mysterious Venetian masks, brilliant actor improvisations, stunning costumes, mischief and playfulness - all this weaves together in a bright fireworks display of fairy tale events. The magic of love and the enchantment of kindness will surely triumph over all evil spells and treacherous plots. The beloved beauties will find their happiness, for the brave heroes will surely come to help. More performances in St. Petersburg can be found on our website in the theater section.
