Giuseppe Verdi's Opera "Le Corsaire": Concert Various

May 7 on the Main Stage of the Musical Theater. K.S. Stanislavsky and Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko will host a concert performance of Giuseppe Verdi's rarely performed opera Le Corsaire. It will be performed by soloists, choir and orchestra of the theater conducted by Felix Korobov. 

Giuseppe Verdi became interested in George Byron's Corsair in 1844 when he was choosing a subject for a new production in Venice. However, work on the opera was delayed for several years, also due to the fact that a suitable baritone singer could not be found. In the second half of the forties, when Le Corsaire was being written, Verdi realized all new original ideas: the operas The Robbers, Attila, Macbeth appeared. Finally, Francesco Maria Piave writes the libretto of Le Corsaire for Verdi, which was highly appreciated by the composer. 

Le Corsaire premiered on 25 October 1848 at the Teatro Grande in Trieste. Soon the opera was staged in Milan, Turin, Venice and other Italian cities. Corsair gained world fame only in the 20th century. For many music lovers, the recording made on the Philips label in 1975 under the direction of Lamberto Gardelli was a real discovery.

The work of Giuseppe Verdi is constantly in the focus of attention of Felix Korobov. On the stage of the Musical Theatre, he staged productions of the operas La Traviata, The Force of Destiny, Aida, Macbeth, Othello, Rigoletto. Le Corsaire is another Verdi score, which enriched the creative baggage of the maestro. The main parts will be performed by Vladimir Dmitruk, Natalya Petrozhitskaya, Stanislav Li, Maria Makeeva, Felix Kudryavtsev.
