Congratulations on the long-awaited premiere of The Marriage of Figaro

   The repertoire of the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theater was enriched with one of the most outstanding works in the history of musical theaters - Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro". The performance, despite its length, turned out to be very rich, lively and graceful. The plot of the opera is tangled: in one short, extravagant day, Figaro must save his bride Suzanne from the claims of Earl Almaviva. The opera, filled with intrigues and emotions, ends with the long-awaited wedding of Figaro and Suzanne. Here each hero of the play has its own musical character: intonation, behavior, manner of performance. Despite the colossal tension of recent days, each artist put all his vocal and acting skills into his part.

   At the premiere, the part of Figaro and Almaviva was performed by invited artists - soloists of famous Russian theaters Gleb Peryazev and Alexander Kuznetsov. Congratulations on the premiere of the performance "The Marriage of Figaro" to the soloists, stage director Alexei Smirnov, the production group, the creators of this spectacular performance, the entire staff of the theater and our beloved spectators!

   The magnificent opera by Mozart was masterly performed by the symphony orchestra of the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theater under the baton of the chief conductor Valery Voronin.

    The whole huge, creative team of the theater deserved long applause and shouts of bravo.

The premiere performance was supported by a grant from the Russian Cultural Foundation.
