Galina Raimova (spectator)

 «On August 11, the participants of the creative laboratory «New Opera World» presented an opportunity for all who came to penetrate into the very heart of opera art. The «Tsar's Bride» of Rimsky-Korsakov in their interpretation touched both the experienced opera experts and those who heard the opera for the first time. And this has ben evidenced not only by hot discussions during the intermission and loud ovations at the end of the performance, but also by the amazing atmosphere of belonging to the dramatic events that were taking place on stage, which captured all the spectators.

The heartfelt music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the beauty of the interpretation, the wonderful Russian costumes of Vyacheslav Zaitsev, all this was talently woven into a single tragic, but very bright story, by stage director Polina Berten. It was listened, felt and seen in one breath… It is very important if this project would have a continuation and would open up the possibility, including the residents of the regions, to be involved into Russian culture and Russian art. Thanks, Polina, for such a wonderful opportunity to see and to listen to all of this! My sister and me are both impressed!»
