"Naive. Super" – at the Praktika Theatre, Aleksey Martynov has staged the wildly popular 2000s novel by Norwegian author Erlend Loe.

Aquatic Life with Alexander Ostrovsky

...when the bark-like curtain rises, a gasp of amazement sweeps through the red velvet of the theater hall. Egor Peregudov and set (and costume!) designer Vladimir Arefiev have transformed the world of Ostrovsky's classic play into an aquatic world — and this metamorphosis is an absolute 'wow!'"

On the eve of the screen life of Alexander Ostrovsky's tragicomedy "The Forest," director Yegor Peregudov talks about the power of water, theatrical tears, and the thin line between good and evil

KOMMERSANT: It's all not like it is with other swans

...Scandinavian choreographers don't have their heads in the clouds. They are distinguished by a particular type of humor—both physical and distinctly everyday—that reliably protects them from pathos. In Inger's cleverly conceived and dynamically constructed *Swan Lake*, burlesque successfully rivals lyricism...

Pushkin Theatre in cinemas

we have chosen three already classic, benchmark performances reflecting different facets of the Pushkin Theatre. "Talents and the Dead" is a dazzling work by the artistic director himself, a mischievous farce based on Mark Twain with Sergey Lazarev in the title burlesque role. "The Cherry Orchard" is a tragicomic grotesque by Vladimir Mirzoev with Victoria Isakova and Alexander Petrov in the roles of Ranevskaya and Lopakhin. "The Good Person of Szechwan" is an ideal example of Brecht's production in the version by Yuri Butusov with Alexandra Ursulyak brilliantly playing two key roles.

Teodor Currentzis & musicAeterna

Concerts by the Greco-Russian conductor Theodor Currentzis and his orchestra musicAeterna often resemble a sacred act and performance rather than just brilliant interpretations of music, invariably becoming vivid events in the musical world. On our screens, you can enjoy Theodor Currentzis's concerts featuring the great music of Mozart, Beethoven, and other composers.

Wiener Staatsoper

Today, the Vienna Opera is practically the ideal of an opera house, tickets are sold out months in advance, and the cast of soloists is capable of evoking a sigh of admiration from fans and envy from competitors: Elina Garanca, Asmik Grigoryan, Anna Netrebko, Jonas Kaufmann, Juan Diego Flores, Sonya Yoncheva, Ludovic Tézier – it is difficult to find a world-class star who did not sing in Vienna yesterday or is not going to sing tomorrow. After all, any performance at the Vienna Opera is something that will be talked about throughout the season, and which other theaters will be equal to.
