I describe my last visit to the theatreMy last visit to the theatre was visiting theBolshoi Theatre. It was wonderfully.I listened s opera Stone Guest . I d like totell you something about it.My seat place was in the stalls партер . I took the opera-glasses forbetter visibility. It was opera in two acts and lasted about 2 hours. Theconductor was national actor of РСФР Eriler.The actor who played the part of Don Juan was А. Кузнецов, the part of Leporello А. Эйзен, and actress who played the part of Laura was Т. Синявская.
Among the outstanding Russian opera classics,probably no other production called forth such arguments and divergence of viewsas Dargomyzhsky s Stone Guest .It was not accidental that was attracted bythis small tragedy of Pushkin. He often turned to Pushkin s poetry in hiscreative work. About twenty romances were based on it.But in his early opera, D didn t leave Pushkinscy stext untouched.He introduced a number of changes dictated by hismusical-dramatically conception.
To solve the innovative task that he set forhimself in Stone Guest , he dared to undertake only on the peak of hiscreative career. Stone Guest was one of the Pushkin s remarkable works ofpoetic games. Belinski called this tragedy the richest, magnificent diamond in the poet s crown. The complex psychological content was embodiedby Pushkin in a comparatively compact and ideally finished form. Every detailis weighty, every word and every intonation is fuel of meaning.To express allthis in music is a difficult, but thankful task. I want to advice you to listenthe opera Stone Guest.
