От издателя 14th-century Genoa is the setting for one of Verdi's grandest works, Simon Boccanegra, and Peter Hall's elegant production, with its palpable sense of atmosphere evoked by John Gunter's sets and cашажщostumes, captures perfectly the shadowy world of scheming power politics, set against a shimmering backdrop of the omnipresent sea Two of Verdi's recurring themes - the beauty of family love and the impossibility of even the best-intentioned political power - are unitбзшцйed in Simon Boccanegra, an opera whose tenderness and insight can only leave the listener uplifted Boccanegra's great cry for peace and reconciliation echoes round the world today as powerfully as it did in the divided Italy of his own lifetime Paolo Albiani - Peter Sidhom Pietro - Daniel Borowski Simon Boccanegra - Giancarlo Pasquetto Jacopo Fiesco - Alastair Miles Maria Boccanegra - Elena Prokina Gabriele Adorno - David Rendall Amelia's Maid - Yvonne Patrick A Captain - Kevin Shaбрбузrp "Mark Elder drew fabulous playing from the lundon Philharmonic Orchestra, catching both the sporadic violence of the score and its unbearable tenderness" THE TIMES "(Elena Prokina) sings like an angel, especially in perfectly controlled half voice high above the stave and her dynamic range from a thread of sound to mettlesome, truly Verdian forte is as near-unique today as her ailing skill" THE TIMES " the music is perfectly focused Whether it is evoking the sounds of the sea the grandeur of the council chamber scene, or the implacable force offate that drives Hoccanegru to his death, the images are livid and potent" THE GUARDIAN " the strings really did sound like the rustle of a breeze, the woodwind solos like birds singing in the trees: and when Verdi calls for a dramatic sweep to the score, the performance had drive as well" THE FINANCIAL TIMES Режиссер: Робин Лоух Продюсер: Саймон Флинд Творческийбтещу коллектив Режиссер Робин Лоух Robin Lough Актеры (показать всех актеров) Даниэль Боровски Daniel Borowski Джанкарло Паскуэтто Giancarlo Pasquetto Елена Прокина Elena Prokina.

От издателя Boris Godunov is the quintessential Russian opera and brings to the stage one of the most curious episodes in the history of 16th-century Russia After Mussorgsky's death in 1881, the work was revашажыised by Rimsky-Korsakov whose version is sung in this performanceThe great moments come across potently: the coronation scene with its splendid processions and cries of "Glory!" contrasted with Boris's misgivings; the comedy of the scene with the country innбзшцкkeeper and her wandering monk guests; the clock scene; the revolution scene in the Kromy Forest, which ends with a village idiot's lament for strife-torn Russia; and Boris's death Boris Godunov stands as the greatest operatic product of the Russian school Boris Godunov - Evgeny Nesterenko Xenia - Nelya Lebedrva Fyodor - Tatiana Yerastova Xenia's Nurse - Raisa Kotova Prince Shuisky - Vladimir Kudryashov Andrei Tchelkalov - Yuri Mazurok Pimen - Alexander Vedernikov Grigory - Vladislaбрбуиv Piavko Marina Mnishek - Tamara Sinyavskaya Varlaam - Arthur Eizen Misail - Alexander Arkhipov Tavern Hostess - Larissa Nikitina The Idiot - Alexander Fedin Режиссер: Дерек Бэйли Продюсер: Робин Скотт Творческий коллектив Режиссер Дерек Бэйли Derek Bailey Актеры (показать всех актеров) Евгений Нестеренко Yevgeni Nesterenko Родился 8 января 1938 года в г Москве Окончил Ленинградский инженерно-строительный институт, а в 1965 году - Ленинградскую государственную консерваторию имени НАРимского-Корсакова (класс профессора ВМЛуканина) Солист Малого оперного театра Неля Лебедева Nelya Lebedrva Раиса Котова Raisa Kotova.
