The present is historical. Historical present" at 22:12 on Radio Russia! The Orléans Alexander Affair Title: Piotr Tchaikovsky wanted to make such a great opera in the French style, like Meyerbeer, like Halévy, like Aubert - with ballet, many people, with historical battles, uprisings and rebellions, popular unrest - the Hundred Years' War, the British and the French. And in general, he did everything according to these patterns. But Tchaikovsky's power, his charm, the uniqueness of his extraordinary talent lie in the lyrical component, in what speaks of relationships between people, of experiences - love, friendship, fear of death, the vicissitudes of life. Here Tchaikovsky is extraordinarily truthful and accessible - and his melodic gift beats straight into our hearts. And this collision of a big spectacular spectacle with an intimate content - between two or three people - seemed very difficult to implement. Moreover, Tchaikovsky did this based on the play translated by Drezbin. There are also mystical motives. Jean's path is often compared to that of Christ. In some places the opera resembles an oratorio; It seems to have no action at all - but no. It seemed very interesting to us and required a combination of two different theaters: performance theater and experiential theater. Our choir of 80 people is not enough; We also invite a choir of 20 people, in the production and in Mimens. The only thing I took from him was the ballet. We wanted to do a show that respects history. Of course you can't repeat the 15th century, but the opera has over 250 costumes: knights in arms, angels, monks, commoners, angels, ladies and gentlemen. Guest: Alexander Titel - artistic director and chief director of the Moscow Academic Musical Theater named after him. K. that. Stanislavsky and V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, People's Artist of Russia.
