A press conference dedicated to the upcoming premiere was held in the Kirov Drama Theater

KIROV. For the first time in the repertoire of the Kirov Drama Theater, the musical fairy tale “Puss in Boots” will appear. Naturally, it is addressed to children, however, a well-known plot based on the fairy tale of the same name written by Charles Perrault will appeal to any viewer. The premiere will take place at the beginning of next week, but journalists decided to meet with the creators of the performance in advance.

It is possible that such a high interest in the future premiere is caused by the fact that this is the first performance prepared by Yuri Ardashev, the artistic director of the theater. Fans of the theater know that his appointment to this position, which took place less than six months ago, provoked an active protest from the troupe. The artists did not want to see at this post a man appointed "from above." Gradually, the passions subsided, and now the first work of Yuri Ardashev will soon be seen and appreciated by the audience.

A press conference was held at the theater on December 17th. Yuri Ardashev said that the first job in a new post is a huge responsibility for him. A fairy tale is a very serious genre, therefore, a performance requires artists no less return than when staging a lyrical or dramatic performance.

The performer of the role of the storyteller Nikita Tretyakov said that a fairy tale filled with music will certainly be successful. Children will not have time to get tired, as the performance lasts only an hour, during which they will constantly communicate with artists. Their parents will be able to plunge into the fairy-tale world again, where the resourceful cat ensured happiness to his master.

The famous cat in boots is played by the artist Zakhar Panteleev, and the princess is played by the young actress Marianna Uzun. She is already participating in the fourth performance of the theater, but in "Puss in Boots" the actress for the first time plays the main role. Spectators will appreciate the new work of artists on December 23rd.
