Art unites

The “Night of the Arts” in the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theater was interactive, creative and informative both for adults and kids. That night the theater hosted a concert entitled “Evening Goes Away”, a night tour of the theater and the opening of an art exhibition. The excursion of the theater has become one of the main events of the evening. Visitors saw all the main stages, art spaces and theater museums. The guide told about the history of the creation of the theater and about the artistic and engineering secrets of the building in detail. A stylized photo zone dedicated to the upcoming premiere of G. Verdi's "Troubadour" was made for visitors in the White Hall. Everything that is strictly forbidden in the traditional theater can be done here - you can touch the stage sets and props, take photos as a keepsake. An unusual interactive “Symphonic Karaoke” was prepared for younger visitors in the Small Hall. Children got acquainted with classical works, performed as an orchestra artist, tried to play the compositions they liked the most on a musical instrument.

Later the visitors were invited to the Exhibition Hall to the opening of the art exhibition of Igor Parakhin. This talented artist presented 33 paintings.

The concert “Evening is leaving” took place in the Black Room at 8 pm where popular Russian romances were performed. Leading soloists of the theater and Honored Artist of the Russian Federation such as the winner of All-Russian and International competitions Elena Razgulyaeva, the winner of All-Russian and International competitions Zinaida Dyuzhova and Mikhail Kukharev created a good mood and presented their favorite melodies: “Evening leaves”, “Sit nearby ”, “Karavan”, “Hands”, “Forgotten evenings”, “The song flows”. The instrumental ensemble under the direction of Yuri Elperin played on stage.

That night the art was really open and one could become not only a spectator, but also a creator. Visitors left this event enriched with a new positive, interesting experience.
