On a snowy spring day, Kira and I met another species theatrical arts: opera. We chose opera for our first acquaintance" Magic lamp Aladdin" at the Moscow Academic Musical Theater named after K.S. Stanislavsky and Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko.

Everyone knows the famous fairy tale about Aladdin, and it is even more interesting to watch the play knowing all the twists and turns of the plot. Enjoy great music, beautiful voices, interesting scenery and original costumes.

You can admire the costumes endlessly; how bright and interesting they are, with beautiful embroidery, lots of beads, shiny fabrics. The abundance of transparent fabrics creates a magical flair around the beautiful Budur. Even minor characters costumes are thought out to the smallest detail: wide oriental pants, unique headdresses; various capes. At the oriental bazaar you will not find townspeople in identical costumes: bright fabrics, oriental styles, unimaginable headdresses. It turned out to be a real market in the East: crowded, noisy, colorful. Hardly any spectator remained indifferent to the brilliance precious stones! It would seem that the colors and brightness were already over the top, but the children dressed in rubies, topazes and diamonds added even more sparkle to the scene in the Sultan’s palace! BRAVO!

Very interesting scenery: so simple at first glance, but at the same time in every scene they turn into an impenetrable forest, then stalactites-stalagmites of an underground cave, then into the mirrored walls of a beautiful palace.

It was very interesting: how do the creators of the play realize the huge Genie - the slave of the lamp. With the help of a huge screen and multimedia technologies, everything turned out like a fairy tale! He was truly gigantic! And what’s interesting: completely different from the Djinn I saw in books. It turned out completely unique and, I would even say, unexpected)

To all actors, ballet, orchestra - BRAVO! Their collective work, wonderful music, magnificent costumes turned the oriental fairy tale into real magic! Sequins and bubble- a very unexpected decision for the theater. Princess Budur dancing in the rain of sparkles is a magical sight!

The genie of the ring (Dmitry Kondratkov) appeared only a few times during the performance, but each of his appearances was enchanting! Genie is a fan of Michael Jackson - this is something unexpected) His attire, movements! It's great that such serious musical theater has a place for a sense of humor. BRAVO!

If you want a bright, magnificent and interesting spectacle, then oriental tale and MAMTe is what you need! You will be taken to Magic world"1001 nights", where I will wait for you evil wizards, the shine of precious stones, a diverse and crowded oriental bazaar, magical things with obedient Genies and, of course, love!
If you have not yet decided whether you like opera or not, then an opera based on a fairy tale that you know well is a good option for the first acquaintance with the art of opera)
I really enjoyed the performance and recommend this opera as a must-see for children and their parents)

MAMT is a magical place in itself! Blue color who meets you everywhere and attracts you and you understand that this is love at first sight and forever)

CINEMA OPERA

Today I watched the premiere of the opera "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" at Stasik. Yes, I did. Because visually the performance was not only a success, but turned out to be incredibly effective and truly spectacular.

The costumes, amazing in their colorfulness and special oriental expressiveness, as well as minimalistic decorations in the cubist style, perspective video projections and dazzling light and animation special effects created such a bright visual perception and a picture that was accurate in terms of inner sensations, which seemed completely unnecessary to sing here.

And indeed, musically, the opera (if you can even call it that) turned out to be very weak, starting from the vocals (although who would doubt the mediocrity of the vocalists of “Stasik”) and ending with the musical material, the composer of which was the legendary Nino Rota. Yes, it’s that Nino Rota - the famous film composer, Oscar winner, Grammy and Golden Globe award winner, who wrote music for the works of F. Zeffirelli, F. Fellini, L. Visconti and, of course, F. Coppola (who doesn’t know soulful beauty melody from "The Godfather"?)

Still, I believe that film composers are better off writing music for cinema rather than for the live stage. Specifics musical illustration film action is special when it is necessary to support the silent experiences and actions of the characters with certain melodies, to enhance the atmosphere of the action.

Vocals are still important in opera. Here you need to sing and the music should not only convey the emotions of the characters and the nuances of the circumstances, but also easily fit the text, emphasize the expressiveness of the voice and, in the right places, simply fade into the background, leaving the vocalist freedom to express the feelings of the hero.

Today we observed orchestral accompaniment of visual action - a beautiful “cinema”, where singing is not at all necessary (even unnecessary), it is better to just be silent and enjoy the beauty of the stage picture and quite convincing musical accompaniment.

The opera Aladdin's Magic Lamp is a real immersion into the fantastic and mystical world of the East. It's told here old story about how a simple poor young man achieved the love of a princess with the help of a magic lamp. But was she the only one who helped him become happy? And isn’t this a merit of his wisdom and cunning?

This production is one of the operatic creations of the famous Italian composer of the twentieth century, Nino Rota. This author is famous primarily for his music for the greatest Italian and American films. He collaborated with such famous directors as Federico Fellini and Francis Ford Copolla. The composer also created magnificent pop songs, which have been part of the repertoire for several decades. popular artists from all over the world. But he has masterpieces of the operatic genre to his credit. And those who manage to buy tickets for the opera Aladdin's Magic Lamp on time will be able to meet one of them. The basis for it was the world-famous Arabian tale from the popular collection “1000 and One Nights”. This work is familiar to more than one generation of boys and girls from all over globe. It has been filmed several times and staged on theater stages more than once. It was also reflected in musical art, thanks to the work of Roth. His work is created at the intersection of classics and modernity. It is also full of successful stylizations of oriental music.

The premiere of this work took place in Naples in 1968. Subsequently, it was also successfully staged on many other stages around the world. But at the same time, for quite a long time the opera was not staged in our country and was practically unknown to the domestic public. Its premiere in Moscow took place only in 2015. And now this performance continues to delight children and adults with its brightness, cheerfulness and charming oriental flavor.

"Aladdin's Magic Lamp" at the Musical Theater named after. Stanislavsky is the first Russified version of this opera in Moscow. The music for it was created by the famous Italian composer Nino Rota, the author of popular compositions from films “ Godfather" and "Romeo and Juliet". In the cultural environment, this Oscar and Grammy winner has gained fame as the creator of original works in the opera and ballet genres.

"Aladdin's Magic Lamp" at the Musical Theater named after. Stanislavsky: an adult approach to children's opera

Nino Rota's opera has already toured half the globe. And only in Moscow, in the musical theater named after. Stanislavsky, the play “Aladdin's Magic Lamp” was seriously modified and remade specifically for a children's audience. According to creative team of this stage, the majority classical works on fairy tales nevertheless, they are “tailored” to the tastes of adult viewers. It's hard for kids to fall in love with high art, if for one and a half to two hours they are forced to sit quietly and watch how it is unclear who dances and sings something.

Therefore, the play “Aladdin’s Magic Lamp” at the Musical Theater named after. Stanislavsky, firstly, was significantly reduced, but not to the detriment big picture: Just removed some of the musical repetitions found in the original. Thus, out of three acts there are only two left, but they are very dynamic and vibrant.

Secondly, I had to seriously work on the “picture”. Already in the title of the play the word “magical” appears, so its creators had to seriously rack their brains over how to most plausibly recreate various miracles. As a result, children simply cannot believe their eyes when from the sky goes golden rain, and the evil sorcerer appears simultaneously in several places, including an animated projection on the screen. Such an opera will certainly be remembered by young viewers and will lay the foundations of good taste in them.

The whole world knows the Italian Nino Rota as the author of music for films by Fellini, Visconti, Zeffirelli and Coppola. But famous composer, Oscar and Grammy winner, wrote and symphonic works, operas and ballets. He set the fairy tale “Aladdin's Magic Lamp” to music in the mid-sixties. Then her journey around the world began. The opera will be performed in Russian for the first time at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theatre. Premiere today.

Preparing for children's play- also a show. Behind the scenes they don’t just sing - a kilogram hat must fit comfortably, flights must be precise and fast, the mood must be appropriately fabulous and, of course, lamps - there are a lot of them, and all with genies inside.

“The fire of the magic lamp will spread throughout the world with these small lamps. And every child in the world will get it, so that every child’s dreams can come true,” says Sergei Nikolaev, artist of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater.

Aladdin finds a magic lamp, as in the story of Scheherazade, in a cave, among high rocks and gloomy gorges. The evil sorcerer simultaneously appears in different places - and on the screen in the form of animation too. There really are miracles on stage - the sorcerer's staff is truly magical, the kind genie grants wishes, and golden rain comes from the sky.

It seems that the only difficulty, apart from creating miracles, that the directors faced was the choice of artists. Aladdin was rehearsed with three casts, and everyone was looking for character together, but with Princess Budur everything turned out to be completely difficult.

“I even have 4 princesses Budur, and I suggested that they draw lots, because, in my opinion, they are all good. Some are better in the plastic part, while others are better in the vocal part,” says the production director of the play Lyudmila Naletova.

Drawing lots before the premiere in this theater is an exceptional case. All the princesses refused.

“If, for example, I took the first performance, it would be unfair to other people. Either I would take the last one or none - this is also unpleasant. Therefore, I think that it is better for the organizers of this celebration to do this,” says Maria Makeeva, artist of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater.

The choice is made, the performance is ready. There are no discrepancies with the plot of the fairy tale. But I had to work with the music. Nino Rota has an opera in three acts, at the Stanislavsky Theater - in two. The score was shortened, achieving dynamism, contrast and brightness - all for children.

“Some scenes were shortened, but not to the detriment of the musical material, only for the benefit of dramaturgy: some repetitions that the author has, musical phrases that are similar to the text, but repeat musical material“- noted conductor Vyacheslav Volich.
