Ikaev's stool will not take root in a Russian cabin" - theater artist Vladimir Arfaev "What about Karenina, I did the opera Carmen three times. And all three times the setting was completely different, although it looked like he could just repeat it all over. But it doesn't work that way. You yourself change, the theater and tasks change, time itself changes. After all, the theater lives in time and time itself." Twice winner of the "Golden Mask" Vladimir Arfaev is the main artist of the three stages of the capital: the musical theater named after K. S. Stanislavsky and Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, Theater and Opera Theater of Moscow named after Vl. Mayakovsky.
