The Season is Open!

 

Belarusian Bolshoi started the new 88th season. We hope that these "eights" will be happy both for the theatre and for the audience. The doors to the temple of art were opened on 8 September. The Bolshoi does not act against our habits and opens season with the premiere.

 

On 8 September on the stage of the Bolshoi we brought to life the world created 145 years ago by two Norwegian geniuses – playwright Henrik Ibsen and composer Edvard Grieg; a world filled with amazing images of Norse mythology. 42 years later Peer Gynt appeared in the theatre repertoire. But choreographer Sergey Mikel said that this is a completely different story: ‘I wanted to update the material, to get as close as possible to life, understandable to the modern audience. The plot seems very topical to me. In an era of limitless possibilities, when there are practically no borders for the realization, people are looking for themselves more and more, they are trying to know who they really are…’

 

Maestro Alexander Anissimov (People's Artist of Belarus and musical director of the production) surprised the audience just like he said: the audience heard both famous melodies, such as "In the Hall of the Mountain King", and new bright music of breathtaking beauty. In addition, the roles of opera soloists were harmoniously intertwined in the canvas of the ballet production – they performed their voice parts in Norwegian.

 

The designer Lyubov Sidelnikova faced with difficult tasks: to intertwine the past and the present, reality and fiction, preserve traditions and get closer to the present time. And she coped with it just brilliantly.  The following worlds came to life on the stage: romantic is the world of Åse, digital-of the Mountain King, mystical- of the Buttonmoulder and his entourage and real one- of the Norwegian town. And the whole universe is the world of Solveig and her endless love for Peer Gynt, which she carried through her life...

 

‘Sergey Mikel opened the door to a new interesting choreography for me...’ - said the leading ballet dancer Takatoshi Machiyama after the premiere. On 8 September the young choreographer opened the door to a new season for all of us. Happy 88th season, friends!
