24. juni  2017. opera RODIONA ŠČEDRINA „NE SAMO LJUBAV“

26. juni 2017. opera SERGEJA PROKOFJEVA „VERIDBA U MANASTIRU“

Veliko nam je zadovoljstvo da najavimo gostovanje Opere Sankt Peterburga u Madlenianumu. Posle veoma uspelih opera „Travijata” (premijerno izvedene 2006. godine)  i „Pajaci” (premijerno izvedene 2011. godine) u Madlenianumu, u režiji Jurija Aleksandrova i sceni i kostimu Vjačeslava Okunjeva, imaćemo prilike da u njihovoj umetničkoj kreaciji vidimo operu R. Ščedrina „Ne samo ljubav“ i S. Prokofjeva „Veridba u manastiru“.

Ove dve opere u izvođenju Opere Sankt  Peterburga će imati praizvedbu na srpskim scenama i to baš u Madlenianumu. Jurij Aleksandrov je našoj publici poznat kao autor koji operu postavlja na savremen i atraktivan način, a ovaj put će naša publika imati priliku da uživa u vrhunskoj muzici čuvenih ruskih kompozitora, u izvođenju petrogradskog teatra.

Opera  „Ne samo ljubav“  nastala je po motivima pripovedaka Sergeja Antonova i uz libreto dodatih poskočica. Opera je posvećena supruzi kompozitora, velikoj ruskoj balerini Maji Pliseckoj. Nadamo se da će ovom izvođenju prisustvovati i sam Rodion Ščedrin, što bi bila čast za našu kuću i događaj za našu zemlju.

 „Ne samo ljubav“ je vedra, blistava predstava koja je bliska mjuziklu po svom žanru. Kako to reditelj Jurij Aleksandrov vidi, glavni fokus je na ljubavi, naravno. „Tema ljubavi“, kako kaže reditelj, „je večita i uvek relevantna, bez obzira u kakvom dekoru se događa.“

Predstava privlači publiku svojim slobodnim vokalima, „otvorenošću“ glume i brojnim igračkim tačkama. Puna je lake lirike i ironije, „sočan“ humor je tipičan za ovaj žanr i visoku dramu.

Rodion Ščedrin, koji je prisustvovao premijeri u Kamernoj Operi Sankt Peterburga, podsetio se propale predstave 1961. godine:  „Da li znate zašto je izvođenje tad bilo neuspešno? Zato što su se tad bojali seksa. A ovde- i danas ga se ne boje. I to funkcioniše. Lično, ja na sceni vidim veliku ljubavi za tim vremenima i za te ljude.”

Zaplet komične opere Sergeja Prokofjeva „Veridba u manastiru“ nastao je na osnovu, publici dobro poznate drame, „Pratilja“ (Duenna) Ričarda Šeridana. Ova predstava je napravljena kao vrsta šale, nešto poput studentske žurke gde su gluma i zbilja organski povezani. Priča započinje kao čas glume, zatim postaje vedra praznična pozorišna predstava u kojoj postepeno počinje da dominira realnost.

„Zanosom poneti, ne samo studenti i predavači, nego i predstavnici, kako ih zovemo, tehničkog osoblja  i još tačnije dama balzakovskog izgleda – Duenja koja sanja da zameni polovne krpe i četku udobnim mestom u nekoj kompaniji bilo kakvog bogataša. Njoj predstoji da odigra u našem spektaklu glavnu ulogu.

Smetenošću i ushićenjem  zahvaćeno je i prvo lice ove institucije – rektor Instituta gospodin Žerom, jer na horizontu se nazire sponzor, i bez obzira što je gospodin Mendoza sumnjive reputacije i ništa ne znači za pozorišni komad, on je trgovac ribom i još nečim...Uostalom zašto ne objediniti stvaralaštvo i biznis u zajedničko preduzeće?! A radi sjedinjenja, druženja i posla, a možda i prijateljstva, tu je i kći Žeroma prelepa Lujza, pa i sin Ferdinad mangup – inače studenti njemu poverene obrazovne ustanove.

Čudnom podudarnosti životne situacije se na zapanjujući način podudaraju sa sižeom i peripetijama budućeg spektakla.

Pa neka se u svemu tome snađe mnogouvaženi gledalac.“ , poručuje reditelj Jurij Aleksandrov

The Opera and Theatre MADLENIANUM is, in cooperation with the production AS YOU LIKE IT, working on the preparation of the musical LOVE AND FASHION, beginning on 20th February. This romantic comedy, whose realization relies on young artistic forces, will be a great joy for the audience. The fluttering and enchanting love story from 1960, with the music typical of that time, will have its premiere on 27th April.

The musical "Love and Fashion", created by the motives of the same blockbuster movie from   '60s, is not just a colourful spectacle with cheerful retro songs. This is the story of enthusiasm and optimism, a reminder of some basic ethical and emotional values that are now mostly in the second plan.  

At the head of the two rival fashion houses of postwar Belgrade, Jugochic and Jugofashion, are ex-spouses – Mr. Director and Ms. Director. Their rivalry incents these two young and bold companies to advance and at the same time all employees to suffer immensely because of their conflict, battles and chicaneries. What no one knows is that at the core of that conflict stands the Cousin, a cunning con man willing to do anything in order to destroy both companies and set up his own unique Jugoteks.    

What, on the other hand, the cousin does not know, is that love is beginning to appear between Sonja, Mr. and Ms. Director’s daughter and Bora, a chief designer of Jugochic. That moment of unplanned outpouring of emotions will disrupt all plans of the two fashion houses and of all who work there, it will significantly change the plans for the competitive fashion shows and above all it will additionally hamper the Cousin to carry out his heinous plan.  

The play "Love and Fashion", all in soft tones and pastel shades, also offers, apart from nostalgia for some simpler times, the hope that even the most valuable pieces of those times can still be touched.
