Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theater will be performed opera "Sadko" at Bolshoi Theater in Moscow

The Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theater tour will take place at the Bolshoi Theater of Russia on September 12. Ufa artists will present the opera "Sadko" on the main theater stage of the country, the theater's press service told Bashinform News Agency.

As Bashinform News Agency reported, the performance premiere occurred in November last year. This production was the largest and most spectacular event of the previous season.

The opera conductor is the chief conductor of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Musical Theatre, People's Artist of Russia Felix Korobov. Stage director - Honored Artist of Russia Askar Abdrazakov, production designer - Honored Artist of Bashkortostan Ivan Skladchikov. Choirmaster - Honored Artist of Bashkortostan Alexander Alekseev. Choreographer - Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation Irina Filippova. Lighting designer - Honored Worker of Culture of the Russian Federation Irina Vtornikova.

The performance takes the audience to ancient Novgorod and the possessions of the Sea Tsar. The epic is intertwined with a fairy tale, with realistic characters - with entirely fictional ones. The production of "Sadko" in Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theatre differs from previous productions created at the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters by the complete ballet act "Underwater Kingdom", which was staged by the People's Artist of the USSR Margarita Drozdova.

The presentation of major premiere performances to the Moscow audience has already become a tradition for the Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theatre. The operas Faust (2019), Attila (2020), Don Quixote (2021), and Vita Nuova (2022) were performed on the historical and new stages of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia.
