One of the most monumental creations of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the opera The Maid of Orleans, is a vivid artistic embodiment of an episode in the exciting history of France at the beginning of the 15th century. Against the background of the end of the Hundred Years War, the time of the "witch hunt", religious fanaticism and burning at the "holy" inquisitorial bonfires, the legendary life of the young Joanna d'Arc unfolded, who managed to inspire and lead the desperate French army, put to flight the garrisons of seemingly impregnable fortresses . But the sense of duty to the Motherland weakens under the onslaught of a flared love for the traitor knight. The sacred vow is broken - John spared the enemy. And only death will make it possible to get rid of the insurmountable contradiction: the sky will open, and the choir of angels will announce forgiveness. The play premiered in 2015. The director of the performance was one of the best young Russian directors, winner of the Golden Mask Prize, now the chief director of the Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theater Filipp Razenkov. actors and performers.
