For the First Time in Linz!

 

104 Belarusian artists of the Bolshoi Theatre will take part in the festival, which is held in Linz in honour of the composer Anton Bruckner annually. Each time since 1974, when the first addition of the music festival was held, the organizers have tried to do something special that would distinguish this event from all others.

Hans-Joachim Frey, Artistic Director of the festival, which has the long-standing friendly relations with the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus (in spring 2017 he staged Mozart's Opera The Magic Flute), firmly believes in the uniqueness of his creation: ‘This is one of the four most important music festivals in Austria along with the musical marathons in Salzburg, Bregenz and Vienna. Bruckner's festival lasts four weeks. During this time in Linz will be presented about 50 concerts, including opera and ballet performances...’

Opera soloists, artists of the chorus (Principle Chorus Master – the People's Artist of Belarus, laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Belarus Nina Lomanovich) and orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus will perform in the concert hall "Brucknerhaus" on 1 and 2 October. The recipient of the Francysk Skaryna Medal Andrei Galanov will conduct both nights. On October 1 the audience will hear Serenade for Strings by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 1 in D major (Classical Symphony) by Sergei Prokofiev, scenes and arias from operas Ruslan and Lyudmila by Mikhail Glinka, Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky, Aleko by Sergei Rachmaninoff.

On 2 October a concert version of Iolanta by Pyotr Tchaikovsky will be presented in the 1st part. The performance will feature the People's Artist of Belarus, laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Belarus Anastasia Moskvina as Iolanta; winner of international competition, recipient of the Francysk Skaryna Medal Eduard Martyniuk as Vaudémont; winner of international competitions, recipient of the Francysk Skaryna Medal Ilya Silchukov as Robert; Honoured Artist of the Republic of Belarus Andrey Valenty as René; Honoured Artist of the Republic of Belarus, laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Belarus Stanislav Trifonov as Ibn-Hakia. The 2nd part will present cantata Songs of Kursk by Georgy Sviridov for the chorus and the symphony orchestra, as well as scenes from the Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin (finale of the 1st act and Polovtsian Dances).

We wish our dancers good luck!
