26, 27 December and 24 January is the Mariinsky Theatre presents the world premiere of the first opera of the season - "Tales of Hoffmann" by Offenbach under Valery Gergiev and designed by Basil Barkhatov Zinovy Margolin addressed. This is the full edition of the opera, Michael Kaye and Jean-Christophe Keck produced. For 29-year-old Basil Barkhatova, which has become known in recent years as the drama director and producer of TV shows such as "The Phantom of the Opera" in the channel, it is the sixth statement, which he associated with Valery be released Gergiev. Opera returns to the Mariinsky Theatre for 11 years since the last statement. Libretto of "Tales" was written based on three stories of Hoffmann: doll Olympia from novel "Sandman" patient Anthony - from the game "Krespel Council", part of the cycle "Serapion Brothers" and the story of the courtesan Giulietta, and the evil wizard Dapertutto - History of "The Tale of the Lost Picture." Replace dialogs recitatives and music more than we commonly hear from the audience in this edition of the author and order actions (Juliet Olympic - - Anthony). The plot is in the stage version of Basil Barkhatova and Zinovy Margolin echoes storylines "neighbor" by François Truffaut, "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick and "Mind Games" by Ron Howard. Vasily Barkhatov RG: opera "The Tales of Hoffmann" She suggested Valery Gergiev? Vasily Barkhatov: I offered the maestro himself after the premiere of "Dead Souls" Shchedrin. This opera is for me a very important step that is part of the conceptual and meaningful was the most expensive and all my personal ideas. I believe that every product comes with the director just once, but "Tales of Hoffman" I'd rather put a chamber space, a story of an ordinary man tells teatra.doc Teatrika format. - Double Hoffmann designed for vocal and emotional tenor plastic. Who do you have a lot of Hoffmann at the Mariinsky? - Sergei Semishkur, which is an extremely talented in terms of acting, not to mention the music. He has sung in almost all my performances, and not as ridiculously important - always violent, but touch alcoholic. In the "Jenufa" was Shteva then Benvenuto Cellini, Cassio in "Othello", then - in the nose of "Dead Souls" and now "supreme alcoholic" - Hoffman. - This is an Offenbach opera at the Mariinsky Theatre in a charming setting, Marta Domingo in 2000. You've probably all be very different? - Artists of the choir asked me if they have the same beautiful dress, as in the play Marta Domingo? I replied that I would be, because in the third act, and Juliet finds in Christmas night, but not in Venice. The main character is a party dressed as characters from gofmanovskih works. In this final act converge literary, psychological, a love theme. All these rooms are facing, and the shift occurs in which normal people Hoffman begins a hero of his dreams to see - about the same thing happening with the hero of the film "A Beautiful Mind" Howard or "Shining" by Stephen King - in acute schizophrenia form. Hoffman in my game - a sociopath. He sits in his room, the choice of the object of love, the girl in the window of the house opposite, which he watched day and night, which was named Stella (this is reminiscent of the "neighbor" Truffaut). Three Imaginary Girls - Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta are derivatives of the image Stella, the characteristics of the dolls, actresses and courtesans connects. - Directors often create their order numbers in this opera. How to build a three-act "Tales"? - Let's start with the "Olympia", go to "Antonia", complete the "Juliet", which, in my opinion, because of the logic. In people's lives, like Hoffmann, usually three phases: first, he falls in love with a beautiful but mindless puppet, then finds true love, true love always dies, then love is in a state of decay and loss of faith in an attempt to fool yourself and think, love where it does not exist - it is the courtesan Giulietta. - Maestro Gergiev agree with this fantastic concept? They usually how he meticulously presented their projects? - It is much shorter. What I love most and Valery Gergiev, who is love with him very difficult to breed demagoguery, so I carefully prepare for the meeting with him. Mne but somehow it seems that he still thinks that the third act is in Venice, and the stage is suspended gondola. It's a feeling that I was a bit misleading parents, which is how I suspect the children perform here as "The Nutcracker". But in "The Tales of Hoffmann" is a very nice and cozy Christmas that much better than a couple of plywood gondolas sailing scene is from one to another. - You do not mind that in a country as large as Russia is a critical shortage of young opera directors? - I now have a wonderful colleagues started a project, the "opera-group" - the movement in support of contemporary opera and young writers and directors. We plan to hold the shares and laboratories around the country. I decided to take matters into their own hands, because really no one who is no longer involved. I threw scream - there were five directors drama and opera, with whom I will work in the first year. - Many graduates question revolves around how to get to the theater on the job profile. You. In your happy time when Gergiev suggested that you put the operetta "Moscow-Cheryomushki" Shostakovich - Yes, but I did something about it. I have to say, remember the story as I can in the waiting time Gergiev, I have met there three or four young directors who attacked the Maestro with the models. They began the Mariinsky Theatre, what they wanted. - What is your advice to the young and brave filmmakers like - go and prepare for the reception of Valery Gergiev? - Exactly. It is unlikely that Gergiev time ringing the most random GITIS graduates and requested she put on something. But Mariinsky - not the only theater in the country. I have before and after its debut at the Mariinsky Theatre had several plants in the province. - You are a member of the Public Chamber of the Council on the Arts. What are your feelings? - I due to age and occupation are all very curious. With the same pleasure that I fit into another adventure - for me it is the object. I was interested in human terms Dmitry Anatolyevich. At one meeting, it seemed to me that he is very sincere. And actually, I - is not political and convinced that a creative person who can not use, turns off the TV, to do more talented, but can not deny the gift. Yes, I am a member of the Council for Culture, but that does not mean I support the election or other political matters. Sorry, I'm on their "nuts". - What's next for "The Tales of Hoffmann"? - Right after the New Year, I will prepare to work for the debut of the Moscow Art Theatre, which has always dreamed of - put a piece of "New Sufferings of Young W." Ulrich Plensdorfa. Stage version I helped Michael Durnenkov. I will study the GDR Germany, local history, how to replicate perfectly in order.
