Perm performances – ballet or opera – define and create a modern theatrical context today. It is no coincidence that viewers from the largest cities of Russia and Europe come to Perm sometimes with whole planes. They know: it must see – and if you miss the premiere or concert in Perm, you will bite your elbows.

Moreover, the troupe, whose homeland in theater circles has already been nicknamed “Russian Salzburg” for its high quality of performance and approach to the material, is happy to see each year at the largest European theater forums and festivals.

Perhaps one of the secrets of success of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theater is that his productions are the result of the work of an amazing team of professionals who are not only passionate about their work, but also know in which direction to go.

“Our theater, being a regional theater on a formal basis, is a world point in the development of musical and theatrical affairs,” says the executive director of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theater, Andrei Borisov, adding that cultural traders (culture carriers, popularizers and disseminators of education – TASS comment) , representatives of the professional and amateur community do not take their eyes off the theater.

The theater takes on the most difficult staging material, but in the end it always turns out to be a top-class product. Special attention to music, careful selection of voices and their polishing according to the European model is always distinguished by the Currentzis approach.

“Therefore, the result every time exceeds all expectations. The Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy (operas Cosi fan tutte, Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni), Percella’s Queen of the Indians, Medea Material Dusapin, Joan on the Fire of Onegger, Traviata Verdi , “Nosferatu” of Kurland, Cantos Syumak are all very complicated musical scores, but thanks to them it becomes clear: there is a unique phenomenon in the Perm Opera House, here musicians can work with ancient music and modern musical forms, ”Borisov adds.

However, for many theater-goers Perm is unthinkable without ballet.

“A full-fledged ballet troupe appeared in Perm when its school appeared. During the Great Patriotic War in August 1941, the Kirovsky Theater (now the Mariinsky Theater ) was evacuated here and the Leningrad Choreographic School (now the A.Ya. Vaganova ).

In the summer of 1942, the first concert of “visiting students” took place, in which future stars took part: Ninel Kurgapkina, Irina Kolpakova, Yuri Grigorovich, Nikolai Boyarchikov and others, and the first military set among local children was later announced, “said Galina Silina , a tour guide.

Today, Perm dancers talentedly combine in their repertoire classical performances and ballets of modern choreographers. These are the texts of Marius Petip and Lev Ivanov, August Bournonville and Alexander Gorsky, George Balanchine and Jerome The Robbins, Jiri Kylian and William Forsythe, Frederick Ashton and Kenneth Macmillan, Rostislav Zakharov and Nikolai Boyarchikov, Alexei Miroshnichenko and DyoRamans, and Rostislav Zakharov and Nikolay Boyarchikov, Alexei Miroshnyenko and DyoRamason, and Rostislav Zakharov and Nikolay Boyarchikov, Alexei Miroshnienko and DyoRamas, and Rostislav Zakharov and Nikolay Boyarchikov, Alexei Miroshnichenko and Dmitriy A.

The unique troupe of Perm Ballet is one of the five most famous ballet groups in Russia, confirming high professional status with each premiere. Every year, the theater ballet troupe is invited to tour the countries of Europe and Asia, the USA, and Canada.

Since 2009, the troupe has been headed by choreographer Alexei Miroshnichenko. Together with the Perm ballet he put on a number of works, including Daphnis and Chloe by Ravel, Shut and Cinderella Prokofiev, Blue Bird and Princess Florina to the music of Adana, Conditionally killed by Shostakovich, the new version of Swan Lake and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, Stravinsky’s Firebird, Minkus’s Bayadere.

One of his last prime ministers is the Scheherazade ballet to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic suite, in which the main part was performed by Diana Vishneva, prima ballerina of the Mariinsky Theater.

“This is an unusual project, such ideas are rarely born,” shared Miroshnichenko. The appearance of Diana Vishneva, Natalia Osipova and other ballet stars in Perm once again confirms that neither the level nor the repertoire of the Perm Theater is inferior to the best world scenes.
