Оперный клуб TheatreHD в Кинозале ГУМ. Замок герцога Синяя Борода и Мистерия на конец времён. Спецпоказ с Евгенией Кривицкой
On July 8, we invite guests of the TheatreHD Opera Club at the GUM Cinema Hall to an unforgettable evening! We will be watching a collaboration between director Romeo Castellucci and conductor Teodor Currentzis at the Salzburg Festival — an operatic diptych of Béla Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle" and Carl Orff's "De Temporum Fine Comoedia". The program featured the choir and soloists of musicAeterna.

Before the screening, we will discuss the production with Evgenia Krivitskaya, editor-in-chief of "Musical Life" magazine, professor at the Moscow Conservatory, Doctor of Art History, and executive director of the Association of Music Journalists, Critics, and Musicologists. She is also a brilliant storyteller, and Opera Club viewers will certainly remember her fascinating introduction to Klaus Guth's "Turandot".
Teodor Currentzis and Romeo Castellucci. This creative partnership on a poster guarantees that audiences will hear and see something truly extraordinary. After all, who else would think to combine into a single evening two expressive masterpieces from the beginning and end of the 20th century — Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle", based on Perrault's fairy tale, and Orff's "De Temporum Fine Comoedia", a work about the Last Judgment? And not just combine them, but transform two very different productions into a single, ritualistic, unified entity.
The two maestros were supported in achieving this unparalleled result by a brilliant team, making it hard to single out any one participant: from the superb soloists (including Nadezhda Pavlova, Ausrine Stundyte, and Elizaveta Sveshnikova) to the magnificent choir members (musicAeterna, the Salzburg Bach Choir, the Children's Festival Choir), and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.
