The last masterpiece by P.I.Tchaikovsky

The opera "Iolanta" by Tchaikovsky is one of his brightest life-affirming works. The symphonic orchestra, the leading soloists and the chorus of the Astrakhan State Opera and Ballet Theatre each time create a real fairy tale on the stage - if you have not already watched this performance, then you have a chance to plunge into the atmosphere of magic and love on June 4 at 18.00.

The touching story of blind Iolanta, healed by love, contains a great humanistic idea. The eternal darkness, in which King René’s daughter lives serenely and calmly, unaware of her misfortune, becomes a symbol of spiritual blindness, which is a source of deep grief for her close people. Only love and compassion ignite in the heart of Iolanta a passionate desire to see the world, give rise to a willingness for self-sacrifice and the courage to go through sufferings which are the only way to restore her sight.

Chief stage director of the performance is Konstantin Balakin, artist-set designer and costume designer  is Elena Vershinina, chorus master is  Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Galina Duncheva, artistic director-conductor is Valery Voronin.
