Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre presents the comic opera by Gioachino Rossini "Le Comte Ory". Effervescent creation of Italian opera is full of wit and genius of musical magic. "... Perhaps this is one of the best scores of Rossini. Maybe nowhere, except for "The Barber", the composer was not so witty and fun ... What a wealth of music! Throughout the luxury of good tunes, new figures accompaniment exquisite harmony, unexpected orchestral effects, dramatic situations, full of sense and wit "- Hector Berlioz wrote about this opera.
The basis of the plot is an old ballad Picardy. The action takes place in the XIII century in Touraine. This opera is a fun adventure that took place with the Count Ory, fun and frivolous libertine. His attention was attracted by the beautiful Countess de Formute. At the time, her brother went to the crusade, she made a vow of chastity. Count disguised as a recluse, unable to penetrate the inaccessible castle. However, in his expose deception. There remains only one day before the return of Adele's brother, but Ori has decided to try his luck. He and his friends come up with a new, even more cunning plan - they disguise themselves pilgrims, nuns and asked shelter in the castle de Formute. They admit. But when the night he comes into the room and the Countess in the darkness starts to hug and kiss her, before it turns page. Ori the shame to leave the castle.
The creative team of the play: the conductor of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia, chief conductor of the Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Pavel Klinichev, director of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, Igor Ushakov, chief artist of the theater "Lenk" Alexei Kondratiev, costume designer Irena Belousov, understand how difficult, and even the ambitious, the challenge facing the theater. Embodying the idea of ??the composer, tenderly and sensitively addressing the classical material, they tried to create a real theatrical holiday, bright, modern, that should resonate in the soul, like the inveterate gourmet opera, and at a young inexperienced viewer.
Paul Klinichev, conductor of the performance, said: "This is a great score, which compared the Franz Liszt with bubbles of champagne. In my opinion, this is a very good description of the opera, has long been recognized as the undisputed masterpiece of the great master. The richness and elegance of the musical language, the ease and virtuosity of style, sparkling humor, shiny and soft colors - there is everything, that sometimes we are so lacking in everyday life and what I want to in this life to touch. We hope to create a performance filled with the spirit of the present Rossini, bright, brilliant and witty. "
The premiere of the opera "Le Comte Ory" at the Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre was held on 29 February 2012, the day that marks 220 years since the birth of Rossini.
Statement of work not known to the general public - a risky step. But we can state: the play was a welcome success Ekaterinburg team. The story of devoured Lovesickness women abandoned by their men for the war and become bait for those who prefer love - the war, the director of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia Igor Ushakov presented quite modern. Avoiding the radical modernization of the plot (not transferring, for example, the effect of a modern office or a five-star hotel), but referring to what is happening with some irony, he fills the fabric of the play many ingenious discoveries. Zone of special attention - the extras that you do not want to call so: after all, each participant - is a lively character, with his attitude. Coherence singing the chorus (Chorus director E. Gaifullina) "works" to the same and as a corps de ballet. Plastic figures are clearly aligned, staging organized under the laws of close choreographic compositions ... Special deserves compliments performed the play in the party of Adele de Formute Irina Bozhenko. Has all the necessary arsenal opera diva - a beautiful voice, bright appearance, artistry and harmonious plasticity, soloist has repeatedly demonstrated its inherent sense of style in the parties West European opera classics (Zerlina, Susanna). Actress convincingly managed to convey the characteristic of Rossini's heroine combination filigree instrumentalism with a lyrical fullness awakens erotic feelings. Surely the epitome of his work Rossini maestro would have been pleased.
Natalia Kuryumova, the newspaper "Ural worker"
"Le Comte Ory" - an unexpected premier Yekaterinburg Academic Opera. In the year of his own century the Urals Theater decided to strongly impress his fans. In an abstract and conditional scenographic space created by the main artist Lenkom Alexei Kondratiev, you can probably play any genre of opera: multi-level design and a lot of real props. But Irena Belousova costumes made as a stylish collection with a long-term historical prototype. Its main quality - wit. Yekaterinburg Do you have enough of their own forces to storm the dizzying heights of Rossini? I had, of course, win the support of foreign players. The orchestra strengthened invited for Accompaniment remote musician in the orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre and sounds from Klinicheva diverse and stylistically accurate. Hellishly difficult title role sung from Moscow Dmitry Trunov (eccentric vocal stable) and Spaniard Miguel Angel Lobato (romantic, but raspelsya only to the final). Well in the party young page Hope Babintseva two different characters playing the sexy Irina Bozhenko and strict Natalia Mokeeva. Ensembles, the stumbling block sound, if not delicately, it is quite decent. I am glad choir, which in addition to singing, and plenty more gaming problems. Energetic, lively performance in Yekaterinburg badly marked 220 years of Rossini.
Larisa Barykina, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
The recent premiere of the opera in Yekaterinburg - "Le Comte Ory" - an exclusive product: as a name in the repertoire, and to translate. "Le Comte Ory" - elegant musical joke for virtuosos. Beautiful melodies, complex arias and ensembles, the abundance of singing grace inherent sophisticated vocal language operas of Rossini, a wealth of orchestral colors, requiring not just a perfect musician's games - stylishness performance, and even the special atmosphere of the French sitcom, more frivolous in tone and ironic and mocking at relative to the entire philistine. The musical language of "Le Comte Ory" more modern, and morality is close to society, not burdened by strict dogmas. Advantages of the Opera, meanwhile, are fraught with danger - require the performance of its respective votes, decent and intelligent orchestra directors. Pitfalls that in the performance of the Yekaterinburg Opera has become the cornerstone - the base of unqualified success of the performance. Directing Igor Ushakov inventive and musically. The history of a failed seduction by revelers under the leadership of Count Ory loving pious wives waiting for their husbands to return from the Crusades, narrated easy, tasty and with a good sense of humor. Paul Klinichev in this performance - sorezhiss?r his hand stitched staging, the gesture controls the dynamics of the action, its sense of style is a tuning fork scenic atmosphere. The orchestra sounds like Rossini and soloists sensitively picked up and harmonious ensemble. Unspeakably good Dmitry Trunov - Comte Ory: artistic, easy to play and vocals. His worthy Lady Countess - Natalia Mokeeva and Knave - Hope Babintseva. Spokesman of the choir. ... After 174 years since the first and only performances in St. Petersburg "Le Comte Ory" returned to Russia the winner. And good French.
