La vie parisienne Offenbach

When you say Paris, you immediately think of love, fashion, fun and La Vie Parisienne, or the much-desired Parisian life, the atmosphere of which each of us would like to feel at least a little. PARISKI ŽIVOT is coming to Belgrade at the beginning of October - a new musical delicacy, an operetta by Jacques Offenbach, prepared by an already proven team of authors when it comes to the musical genre: Robert Bošković, directs and adapts, Vesna Šouc is the conductor, Milica Cerović is the choreographer, set design designed by Vesna Režić, and costume design by Duška Nešić. The dramaturgy, translation and adaptation are written by Igor Weidlich, while Vesna Šouc and Barbara Kajin helped him sing the lyrics. The lighting designer is Srđan Jovanović, the sound designer is Dušan Arsikin, the author of the puppets is Dražen Matijašević, while the other collaborators and assistants are: Isidora Goncić and Anja Orelj (director), Nina Kuzmic (scenography),

The story revolves around two Parisian bonivans who are fighting for the affection of a world-famous actress, an engaged but mischievous Swedish baron who came to France to taste the charms of Paris will get involved in everything, and a rich and passionate Brazilian is inevitable in this love tangle. Whoever is the winner of the love affair will have the opportunity to see the audience of the Madlenianum Opera and Theater as early as October 1, when the premiere is scheduled, i.e. On October 8, when the first replay is.

Lovers of musicals, operettas, good and sincere humor and sumptuous scenography and costumes will have the opportunity to enjoy the operetta PARISKI ŽIVOT by composer Jacques Offenbach, which had its premiere and worldwide success in 1866 in Paris. The libretto was then written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. Due to the demanding contemporary audience, the director and the playwright reduced the operetta to three acts and a duration of two hours and 10 minutes, while also including the widely famous Kan Kan Ž. Offenbach from his opera Orpheus in the underground, for which many French clubs became famous.

A touch of Paris in this sung and playful piece of music will be brought by a large ensemble of performances led by: Vasa Stajkić, Dimitrije Cincar-Kostić, Arsenije Tubić, Đorđe Viktor Vlajić, Branislava Podrumac, Jana Pogrmilović, Anja Orelj, Miloš Đorđević, Srđan Timarov, Vladimir Andrić, Ana Cvetković, Dragana Popović, Ivana Medić, Đorđe Stojković and Žarko Stepanov. In this merry-go-round of love, they wholeheartedly help: Vesna Đurković, Mina Gligorić, Nevena Đoković, Ana Bartoli, Vanja Milačić, Sara Bojić, Petar Đurđević, Milan Milosavljević, Đorđe Kreća, Nemanja Bajić, Milena Moravčević and Marija Pantin. Besides Vesna Šouc, Dragana Anđelić Bunjac and Barbara Kajin accompany the musical preparations as accompanists. The orchestra of the Madlenianum Opera and Theater is led by concert master Vesna Janssens. The numerous choir and dance ensemble of this complex piece of music, as well as the soloists,

Rehearsals are already well underway, part of the scenography and costumes are being prepared. Director Robert Bošković said that the most demanding part of the preparation of this operetta, in addition to the creative part, preparation of scenography, costumes and directing ideas, was to create a really good acting ensemble.

"I was taught, as an actor and director, that if you have a good division, it is a good 30 percent of the performance. Madlenianum is one of the few theaters that hires actors in this way, and for this project, almost 300 actors, singers and players from Belgrade applied and other places in Serbia and the region." With all of them, Bošković and his collaborators are working on a new story and dynamic, with sharp humor that comes out in the musical numbers, almost every one of which is
choreographed.

The operetta is sung in Serbian, with English subtitles.

Kada kažete Pariz odmah pomislite na ljubav, modu, zabavu i La Vie Parisiénne, ili toliko željeni pariski život, čiju bi atmosferu svako od nas želeo bar malo da oseti. Upravo nam u Beograd početkom oktobra stiže PARISKI ŽIVOT - nova muzička poslastica, opereta Žaka Ofenbaha, koju priprema već dokazana autorska ekipa kada je muzički žanr u pitanju: Robert Bošković, radi režiju i adaptaciju, Vesna Šouc je dirigent, koreograf je Milica Cerović, scenografiju potpisuje Vesna Režić, a kostimografiju Duška Nešić. Dramaturgiju, prevod i adaptaciju potpisuje Igor Weidlich, dok su mu u prepevu stihova pomogle Vesna Šouc i Barbara Kajin. Dizajner svetla je Srđan Jovanović, dizajner zvuka Dušan Arsikin, autor lutaka je Dražen Matijašević, dok su ostali saradnici i asistenti: Isidora Goncić i Anja Orelj (režija), Nina Kuzmić (scenografija), Anđela Bajagić (kostimi), Jovana Ikonić (scenski pokret).

Priča se vrti oko dva pariska bonivana koji se bore za naklonost svetski poznate glumice, u sve će se umešati vereni, ali nestašni švedski baron koji je u Francusku došao da okusi čari koje skriva Pariz, a u ovoj ljubavnoj zavrzlami nezaobilazan je bogat i strastveni Brazilac. Ko je na kraju pobednik ljubavnog pohoda imaće prilike da vidi publika Opere i teatra Madlenianum već 1. oktobra, kada je zakazana premijera, tj. 8. oktobra kada je prva repriza.

Ljubitelji mjuzikla, operete, dobrog i iskrenog humora i raskošne scenografije i kostimografije imaće priliku da uživaju u opereti PARISKI ŽIVOT kompozitora Žaka Ofenbaha (Jacques Offenbach), koja je premijeru i svetski uspeh doživela 1866. u Parizu. Libreto su tada napisali Henri Meilhac i Ludovic Halévy. Zbog zahtevne savremene publike reditelj je sa dramaturgom operetu sveo na tri čina i trajanje od dva sata i 10 minuta, pri tome je ubacio i nadaleko čuveni Kan kan Ž. Ofenbaha iz njegove opere Orfej u podzemlju, po kome su mnogi francuski klubovi postali poznati.

Dašak Pariza u ovom raspevanom i razigranom muzičkom komadu doneće veliki ansambl predstave koju predvode: Vasa Stajkić, Dimitrije Cincar-Kostić, Arsenije Tubić, Đorđe Viktor Vlajić, Branislava Podrumac, Jana Pogrmilović, Anja Orelj, Miloš Đorđević, Srđan Timarov, Vladimir Andrić, Ana Cvetković, Dragana Popović, Ivana Medić, Đorđe Stojković i Žarko Stepanov. U ovoj ljubavnoj vrtešci zdušno im pomažu: Vesna Đurković, Mina Gligorić, Nevena Đoković, Ana Bartoli, Vanja Milačić, Sara Bojić, Petar Đurđević, Milan Milosavljević, Đorđe Kreća, Nemanja Bajić, Milena Moravčević i Marija Pantin. Muzičke pripreme pored Vesne Šouc, kao korepetitori prate Dragana Anđelić Bunjac i Barbara Kajin. Orkestar Opere i teatra Madlenianum predvodi koncert majstor Vesna Janssens. Brojni horski i plesni ansambl ovog složenog muzičkog komada je, kao i solisti, morao da prođe nekoliko krugova audicija da bi se izborili za učešće u ovom projektu.

Probe su već uveliko u toku, deo scenografije i kostima su u pripremi. Reditelj Robert Bošković je rekao da je najzahtevnije u pripremi ove operete pored kreativnog dela, pripreme scenografije, kostima i režijske ideje, bilo napraviti stvarno dobar glumački ansambl.

"Mene su učili, kao glumca i reditelja, da ako imaš dobru podelu to je dobrih 30 posto predstave. Madlenianum je jedno od retkih pozorišta koje na takav način angažuje glumce, a za ovaj projekat se prijavilo skoro 300 glumaca, pevača I igrača iz Beograda i drugih mesta Srbije i regiona.” Sa svima njima Bošković sa saradnicima radi na novoj priči i dinamici, sa britkim humorom koji izlazi u muzičke numere, od kojih je gotovo svaka
iskoreografisana.
