Corneville bells

A significant place in the repertoire of the St. Petersburg Opera Theater is occupied by the direction of "operetta on the opera stage". One of the rare gems of this genre is Robert Plunkett's "Corneville Bells".

The premiere of "The Bells" in 1877 was a sensational success, the operetta withstood over four hundred performances in Paris, after which its triumphant march around the world began, the public enthusiastically accepted it in London and even in New York. 
The popularity of "Corneville Bells" was provided by a romantic plot and, of course, music. The multicolored palette of the score included dance rhythms, spectacular ensemble numbers, sparkling verses and extended arias. Light, memorable melodies instantly scattered, they were played everywhere: from aristocratic salons to organ grinders on the streets ... However, today Plunkett's operetta has become an undeservedly forgotten rarity, which inspired the artistic director of the theater Yuri Alexandrov to bring it back from oblivion.
“To be honest, it is a mystery to me why Plunkett's work is now so rarely performed on stage, because the melodic material is divine, each number is a hit ... And the plot! An infinitely beautiful story about a girl of the eighteenth century and a prince who turned her life upside down... It has everything: noble heroes, ancient castles with ghosts and even a dramatic line of a father who looks like the protagonist of Pushkin's The Miserly Knight... Our performance is a luxurious fairy tale for adults, for everyone who wants to escape from everyday life, plunge into beauty and dream…”, says Yuri Alexandrov.
