You know the theory that all Pixar movies are related? Director Dmitri Chernyakov devised the same for the operas of Sergei Rachmaninoff. His new performance in Zurich is an unexpected biography of Pushkin's miserly knight.
Dmitri Chernyakov's play "Rachmaninov. Three operas". "Alco", "The Miserly Knight" and "Francesco de Rimini" were not perceived by the composer as a trilogy; Chernyakov and conductor Gianandria Nosada united them for the first time. The director is known for unexpected interpretations of classical operas, and now he has devised a cross-plot for three completely unrelated stories: in his show, they are all about the miserly knight. Anton Dolin talks about the premiere.
