Hamlet. Sketches of Chopin. Mono concert

The premieres of the play “Hamlet. Sketches of Chopin. Monoconcert ”according to the biography of the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin. The director is Arseny Epelbaum, in the main role - Sergey Melkonyan.

The production of “Hamlet. Sketches of Chopin. Monoconcert ”directed by Arseny ельpelbaum is based on the memoirs of contemporaries about the early years of Frederic Chopin’s life, from which it becomes known that in 1829, still not a well-known composer, he entered the Warsaw National Drama Theater, as he was in love with the leading actress Constance Gladkovskaya. Mediocre in supporting roles, Chopin worked in the theater for one season, and ended his unsuccessful artistic career in April 1830.

The stage action in the performance is carried out by one performer, which corresponds to the genre of a one-man show. And the actor, left alone with the audience, in a confidential atmosphere, is trying to figure out the intricacies of human fate.

“The production is timed to coincide with the publication of a book consisting of notes by Chopin’s contemporaries in 1829-30. Such memoirs of this period are published for the first time and belong to his colleagues in the theater. Moreover, few people know about this episode from the composer’s life, when he played in extras for absolutely a whole year only because he thought it was his calling and did not suspect his genius, ”director Arseny Epelbaum tells about the idea of the performance.

Admiring the creations of great people, it often seems that their path was direct and not overshadowed by internal doubts and throwings. The author of the play, reflecting on the paradoxical short-sightedness of man in matters of his true destiny, shows the opposite. The brilliant composer Frederic Chopin did not at all emerge as an actor, which he lamented and regretted, completely unaware that he was a truly great musician.
