Italian passions, love affairs and an unexpected denouement - the Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theater presents the most famous work by Ruggiero Leoncavallo "Pagliacci".

This opera, stunning with its genuine drama, has been bringing the viewer to the theater for more than a century. The Pagliacci staged by Pavel Sorokin impresses with its original direction and unusual approach to the artistic design of the performance:

“We tried to give everyday drama a more contemporary form, using such television and film techniques as video projections and a “live” background. The hurricane energy of music and the incredible dynamics of the action, which the composer endowed with his little masterpiece, will not allow anyone to break away from what is happening on stage. I believe that our performance will resonate with the audience and the plot of a hundred years ago will be in tune with modern man” , - stage director, twice laureate of the Nano-Opera International Competition for Young Directors Pavel Sorokin.

Delightful scenery, bright costumes and make-up for the performance were developed by the famous dynasty of theater artists: the winner of the Golden Mask National Theater Award Stepan Zohrabyan and Sofia Zohrabyan.

The complex and multifaceted characters of the characters, the looseness of feelings and the audacity of morals and, of course, the atmosphere of hot Italy - all this in the performance of the Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theater "Pagliacci".
