Đang chơi gì: G. Verdi – “Rigoletto”, R. Leoncavallo – “Pagliacci”.
Why go: A notable event of last season in Moscow was the tour of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theater named after PI Tchaikovsky. One of the best opera companies in Russia returns to the capital to perform G. Verdi's opera “Rigoletto” (November 6) and R. Leoncavallo's opera “Pagliacci” (November 8). Filled with melodious melodies, Verdi's work captivates with its grace, while “Pagliacci” amazes with its effervescence of serious passions. The ultimate interpretation of two classic Italian masterpieces will be combined with the singing talents of the stars of the Perm opera. This gift, combined with the talent of theater conductor Vladimir Tkachenko, will certainly create a great artistic feat.

These are miniatures from the cycles “Classicism – Romanticism” and “Roden”, as well as the one-act ballet “Brilliant Divertissement”. These works best reveal Jacobson's style – alien to academic orthodoxy, lively and passionate, the style the theater preserved under its leadership for half a century. The creative legacy of the main troublemaker of Soviet ballet will appear on the stage of the Moscow Concert Hall in its truest form.
Where, when, how much: Moscow Concert Hall; November 7; 500 – 9,500 rubles.

Peletsis, written specifically for VIVACELLO artistic director Boris Andrianov, will be performed for the first time. Another world premiere is Roberto Di Marino's Sul Mare, warmed by the Italian sun. Kuzma Bodrov’s mysterious “Night Visions of the Alhambra” rhymes with Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab’s uplifting song about the Nile “Eternal River.” Another national curiosity is the Concerto for morinkhur with orchestra by Mongolian classical author B. Sharav. And the first evening of the festival will end with the Russian premiere of the Double Concerto for Cello and Percussion with the orchestra of Serbian composer N. Zivkovic.

What's playing: A. Schnittke – “Gogol Suite” from the music for the play “Revision Tale”, N. Gogol – fragments from the poem “Dead Souls”.
Why he went: Alfred Schnittke used film and theater as a testing ground for the techniques he used in “serious” writing. The composer's anniversary evening, “Smiles seen by the whole world and tears unknown to him,” will recall one of the legendary performances of the Taganka Theater “Revision Tale”, the music of which was composed by Schnittke. This is not an evening for the authorship of Yevgeny Mironov or a concert by the “New Russia” orchestra conducted by Yury Bashmet. By combining the great 19th century writer with the music of a recognized 20th century classic, the famous actor and accomplished conductor opened up a new perspective on both – as well as on themselves.

What's playing: R. Schumann – Piano Concerto, Symphony No. 1 (“Spring”).
Why go: “An excellent poet” – that's what our famous critic Stasov called Schumann. Sparkling with many subtle nuances, Schumann's Piano Concerto will reveal above all the understanding of Schumann's poetry by Konstantin Khachikyan, a prize winner in many competitions. In contrast to Schumann's piano works, his symphonies are quite restrained. “Illuminating the depths of the human heart is the artist's calling,” the composer affirmed. The second part of the concert is entirely devoted to his Symphony No. 1, and the Moscow Conservatory Orchestra under Anatoly Levin will do everything to touch your heart this evening.
Where, when, how much: Conservatory Hall; November 6; 600 – 2,000 rub.

What's playing: WA Mozart – Sonata for two pianos in D major, F. Liszt – WA Mozart – Memoirs of the opera “Don Giovanni”. Grand Fantasy for two pianos, S. Rachmaninov – Symphonic Dances (arranged for two pianos).
Why go: Liszt's fantasy “The memories of the opera “Don Giovanni” and Rachmaninov's “Symphonic Dances” are as different as the pianists Dmitry Masleev and Philip Kopachevsky. But the delicate psychology of the first piano and the courageous virtuosity of the second complement each other perfectly. To confirm this, this famous duo will also play Mozart's Sonata for two pianos – and they will play well. to the point where there won't be any more questions left on the piano.
