Lyrical tale + brutal realism: Dvořák's The Mermaid, staged by Christophe Loy. Hasmik Grigoryan in the title role In the romantic tale of love, physical and mental suffering, betrayal and death from love, every word and every movement is authentic, because music, acting, choreography and scenography are the same. "Mermaid" by Antonin Dvořák, directed by the master of realistic opera direction Christophe Loy, under the musical direction of Ivor Bolton and with the excellent singer and actress Hasmik Grigoryan at the center of a single ensemble of performers, is a true masterpiece of musical theater. Description: ⤵ EL TEATRO REAL: RUSALKA EL TEATRO REAL: RUSALKA Country: Spain Year: 2020 Cast: Hasmik Grigoryan, Eric Cutler, Karita Mattila, Katharina Dalayman, Maxim Kuzmin-Karavaev Conductor: Ivor Bolton Director: Christophe Loy Artist: Johannes Layaker Genre: Opera Language: Czech Translation: Russian subtitles Duration: 3 hours Age: 12+ There are opera performances that are lost in the video due to close-ups. And there are those who do. This applies primarily to the works of realistic musical theater. Among them is Antonín Dvořák's Rusalka directed by the most prominent contemporary opera director Christophe Loy, performed in 2020 at the Royal Theater in Madrid. I want to see how expressively the world famous Lithuanian soprano Hasmik Grigoryan and her partners play their roles. But the general plans of the stage, where the exciting action takes place, in which classical ballet and modern dance are intertwined, amaze with the beauty of each shot. Stage movement - in complete harmony with the enchanting, then the terrifying music of the most famous Czech opera, which Dvořák called "a lyrical tale". In the new performance, there is neither a lake nor a palace, as the classical libretto prescribes. Everything happens in a synthetic space - a theatrical foyer, in which we see either the bed of a mermaid ballerina who has knocked down her legs, or romantic rocks, or the corpse of a deer. Against this background, the drama of the traumatized Woman-Artist takes place, who acquires the ability to walk, dance, sing and love. American tenor Eric Cutler, playing the Prince, tore his Achilles tendon and underwent surgery a few days before the premiere. As a result, Loy urgently rewrote the mise-en-scenes so that Cutler could perform on crutches, enhancing the drama of the "lame Artist" and "the lame man with love." It's not easy to define in words how to interpret this or that character (probably Vodyanoy is the theater director, and Baba Yaga, sitting behind the corresponding window, is a theater administrator with a difficult character), each character - and the entire brilliant ensemble of performers - is here in its place, their emotions are transmitted to the viewer and touch to the depths of the soul. Loy's production, under the musical direction of the outstanding British conductor Ivor Bolton, is perfection in the scenography by Johannes Lyaker and choreography by Clevis Elmazai. To these names it is necessary to add the Catalan video artist Cavi Bove, who acted as the director of the performance recording. their emotions are transmitted to the viewer and touch to the depths of the soul.
