The first premiere after the return of "Helikon-Opera" in the renovated building of the opera "Sadko"

MOSCOW. On the 14th of November, the first premiere of the opening season, the Sadko opera, took place in the renovated Helikon-Opera building. True, the first spectators invited by the administration of the theater to the pre-premiere screening of the opera, held on November 12, already managed to express their admiration for the unique interior and technical capabilities of the stage.

The stage of "Helikon-Opera" is now equipped with the latest German technology, which has no analogues yet. It was made in 2015, and the Helikon-Opera Theater became the first owner of a unique stage equipment that makes it possible to realize any director’s imagination.

The first viewers who managed to get acquainted with the creation of director Dmitry Bertman - the opera "Sadko", already managed to make sure of this. The creation of the scenery and costumes for the fairy-tale opera epic, written by Rimsky-Korsakov, was entrusted to the artists T. Tulubieva and I. Nezhny.

All premieres of the opera will be held in the unique interior of the large Stravinsky hall, where almost real starry sky will be above the audience. Events taking place on the stage, using modern technology, either transfer the audience along with the hero of the opera to the seabed, or return it back to the ground.

The magnificent acoustics of the hall deserve special admiration, which enables performers to show their skills in all their splendor. Almost all artists of the Helikon-Opera, from masters to the youngest performers, became participants in the opera performance.

It is interesting that for the first time the opera "Sadko" was performed in 1898, also in the hall of this building. Then it was known under the name “Theater on Nikitskaya”, and the performers of the opera were artists of a private opera, owned by S. Mamontov. Now here will again delight the audience "Helikon Opera"
