Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre presents the comic opera of Gioacchino Rossini "Le Comte Ory". Effervescent creation of Italian opera genius full of wit and musical magic. "... Perhaps this is one of the best scores of Rossini. Perhaps nowhere else, 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 harmonies, unexpected orchestral effects, dramatic situations, full of sense and wit "- so I wrote about this Hector Berlioz's opera.
At the core of its plot is an old Picardy ballad. The action takes place in the XIII century in Touraine. This opera is about a funny adventure, which occurred with the Count Ory, fun and frivolous libertine. His attention was attracted by the beautiful Countess de Formute. At that time, her brother went to the crusade, she made a vow of chastity. Count, disguised as a hermit, it is possible to penetrate the inaccessible castle. However, his expose of cheating. There remains only one day before the return of his brother Adele, but Ori still decides to try his luck. He and his friends come up with a new, even more cunning plan - they dress up as nuns and pilgrims, asking shelter at 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, then it turns page in front of him. The shame Ori forced to leave the castle.
Creative play team: conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, the 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 Belousova understood how complicated, and even the ambitious, the challenge facing the theater. Embodying the idea of ??the composer, tenderly and sensitively addressing the classical material, they have tried to create a real theatrical holiday, bright, modern, which is to find an echo in the soul, like the inveterate gourmet opera, and at a young inexperienced viewer.
Paul Klinichev, conductor and director of the play, says: "This is a great score, which Franz Liszt compared 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, sheen and soft colors - there is everything that we sometimes do not have enough in everyday life and what I want to touch in this life. We hope to create a performance filled with the spirit of the present Rossini, bright, brilliant and witty. "
Premiere of the opera "Le Comte Ory" at the Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre was held February 29, 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 say: the performance was a welcome success Ekaterinburg team. The story of devoured Lovesickness women abandoned by their men for the war and became a lure for those who prefer love - war director Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, Igor Ushakov presented quite modern. Avoiding a 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 a certain degree of irony, it is filled with a variety of performance fabric witty finds. special attention zone - extras that you do not want the so-called: because each participant - is a lively character, with his attitude to what is happening. Coherence singing Choir (choirmaster 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 compliments deserves performed the play in game 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 her sense of style inherent in the parties West European opera classics (Zerlina, Susanna). Convincing the actress managed to convey the characteristic of Rossini's heroine combination filigree instrumentalism with a lyrical fullness, awakening the erotic sense. Probably the epitome of his work maestro Rossini would have been pleased.
Natalia Kuryumova, the newspaper "Ural worker"
"Le Comte Ory" - unexpected Yekaterinburg Academic Opera premiere. In the year of his own century Ural theater decided to strongly impress their fans. In the abstract, and the conditional stage design space created by the main artist Lenkom Alexei Kondratiev, you can probably play any genre of opera: multilevel structure and a lot of real props. But Irena Belousova costumes made as stylish collection, which has distant historical prototype. Its main quality - wit. Enough Is Yekaterinburg own forces for the assault Rossini dizzying heights? I had, of course, win the support of foreign players. Orchestra Accompaniment strengthened invited for remote musician from the orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre and sounds from Klinicheva diverse and stylistically accurate. Hellishly difficult title role sung Muscovite Dmitry Trunov (eccentric vocal stable) and Spaniard Miguel Angel Lobato (romantic, but raspelsya only to the final). Good in the party young page Hope Babintseva two different characters playing the sexy Irina Bozhenko and strict Natalia Mokeeva. Ensembles, this stumbling block, sound, if not delicately, it is quite decent. I am glad choir, which in addition to singing also plenty of game problems. Energetic, lively performance in Yekaterinburg badly marked 220 years of Gioacchino Rossini.
Larisa Barykina, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
The recent premiere at the Ekaterinburg Opera - "Le Comte Ory" - an exclusive product: and as the name of the repertoire, and to translate. "Le Comte Ory" - elegant musical joke for virtuosos. Beautiful melodies, complex arias and ensembles, plenty of singing grace inherent sophisticated vocal language Rossini operas wealth of orchestral colors, requiring not just improved Muzykantskiy games - stylishness performance, and even the special atmosphere of the French sitcom, more frivolous in tone and ironic and mocking at relative to the total 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, is fraught with danger - its implementation requires respective votes, decent and intelligent orchestra directors. Pitfalls that in the performance of the Ekaterinburg Opera has become the cornerstone - the base of the unconditional 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 fastened mise en scene, 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. Indescribably 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 statement in St. Petersburg "Le Comte Ory" is returned to the Russian winner. And good French.
