"St. Petersburg Opera" shows the performance on the stage of the Hermitage Theatre. The performance is a nominee for the national theater award of Russia "Golden Mask". Yuri Alexandrov's production boldly destroys the stereotypes that have developed over the centuries of the theatrical life of one of Verdi's most popular operas. The motif of the mask, the sinister masquerade of life, becomes the main thing in the performance of the theater. Verdi considered the plot of "Rigoletto", borrowed from Hugo's drama "The King Amuses", the best of all that he set to music. For the first time in the history of the genre, the hero of the opera was an old hunchback - a court jester, a hypocrite, embittered at the whole world. He ruthlessly takes revenge on everyone who does not have a hump on his back. The director offered the public a new version of the psychological drama, according to which the court jester is not at all a hunchback, but a caustic, intelligent, evil and not at all an old man. The hump and mask are just a jester's guise, which he puts on only at the duke's court. However, moral ugliness cannot be thrown off like a mask. An extraordinary person, forced to endure constant humiliation, he entertains himself with intrigues, willingly takes part in the dirty amusements of his master and his entourage. Fate punishes Rigoletto for cruelty, turning his daughter Gilda into a murderer. Luxurious, exquisite costumes seem to immerse the viewer in a historical atmosphere. It seems that the characters of the performance, dressed in expensive fabrics and whimsical masks, seem to have descended from the canvases of old masters. The performance is very solid, with details thought out to the smallest detail, and simply beautiful. And the acting and excellent musical performance correspond to the intention of the composer himself - the creator of the genre of musical drama.https://vk.com/spbopera
