Opera "Rigoletto" / Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theater

Rigoletto is an action-packed drama by Victor Hugo and legendary music by Giuseppe Verdi.

The production of the famous Russian director Vyacheslav Starodubtsev is a bright, dynamic and spectacular two-act opera.

Well-known artists from St. Petersburg and Moscow worked on the design of the performance: Pyotr Okunev, Zhanna Usacheva, Sergey Skornetsky.

“In designing the costumes, I took inspiration from the paintings of Renaissance artists such as Giuseppe Arcimboldo and Michelangelo da Caravaggio. But I still didn’t want to “leave” in documentaries. And in some places I even had to misbehave ,” says costume designer Zhanna Usacheva.

The plastic director was the actor of the Roman Viktyuk Theater Sergey Zakharin (Moscow).

"Rigoletto" replenished the repertoire of the Chelyabinsk theater in February 2019, and four months later the performance was successfully presented in the capital on the New Stage of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia.

An interesting director's decision, luxurious scenery and costumes, as well as the virtuosic skills of the artists of the Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theater will not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated spectator.

English

«Риголетто» – остросюжетная драма Виктора Гюго и легендарная музыка Джузеппе Верди.

Постановка знаменитого российского режиссера Вячеслава Стародубцева – это яркая, динамичная и зрелищная двухактная опера.

Над оформлением спектакля работали известные художники из Санкт-Петербурга и Москвы: Петр Окунев, Жанна Усачева, Сергей Скорнецкий.

«Создавая костюмы, я отталкивалась от картин художников эпохи Возрождения таких, как Джузеппе Арчимбольдо и Микеланджело да Караваджо. Но «уходить» в документалистику все-таки не хотелось. И кое-где пришлось даже похулиганить», – отмечает художник по костюмам Жанна Усачева.

Режиссером по пластике выступил актер театра Романа Виктюка Сергей Захарин (Москва).

«Риголетто» пополнил репертуар челябинского театра в феврале 2019-го года, а уже через четыре месяца спектакль был с успехом представлен в столице на Новой сцене Большого театра России.

Интересное режиссерское решение, роскошные декорации и костюмы, а также виртуозное мастерство артистов Челябинского театра оперы и балета не оставят равнодушным даже самого искушенного зрителя.
