The premiere of "Rostov Action" took place on June 30, 1982. Over the decades that have passed since then, the performance has become one of the landmarks for the Boris Pokrovsky Theater. “Faith in peace, goodness and justice has always been the main content of Russian art. This is what the “Rostov action” is about, ”said Boris Alexandrovich Pokrovsky. In the musical performance he created, the struggle between sin and virtue, embodied visually and with impressive dramatic power, leads to a bright and logical end. "Life, given from heaven, be blessed!" - with these words, the main character, Human Nature, completes his journey in Rostov Action.
One of the most unusual performances included in the repertoire of the Chamber Stage of the Bolshoi Theater is based on the play "Christmas Drama" ("Comedy for the Nativity of Christ)", written by Metropolitan Dimitry of Rostov, in the world - Daniil Savvich Tuptalo (1651-1709). The author, an outstanding figure in the Russian Orthodox Church, educator and playwright, wrote it for amateur actors, students of the Latin-Greek school. In December 1702, in Rostov the Great, they played for the first time this "Christmas Drama".
The work, which is close to a medieval mystery play or a nativity play, was based on the biblical story about the birth of Jesus and King Herod, about Herod's meeting with the Magi, his fear of the new King of the Jews, the beating of babies, the suffering of their mothers and retribution - illness and the painful death of Herod. The Christmas story was framed by an allegorical Prologue and Epilogue, the main character of which (Human Nature) found himself in the center of the confrontation between Virtues and Sins, as well as Life and Death. The scenery of the "Christmas Drama", apparently, was very modest.In the episodes of the worship of the shepherds and sorcerers to the baby Christ, there should have been a traditional nativity scene with a baby in a manger, Mary and Joseph, scenes in Herod's palace assumed his throne and rod, severed heads of babies killed on his orders, etc.
In the surviving versions of the poetic text of the "Christmas Drama" there are many references to singing, often with the mention of the names of church hymns. The significance of the sound component in it allowed musicologists to compare it with opera. This circumstance was the reason for the idea of ​​staging an unusual performance in the Chamber Musical Theater - "Rostov Action". Boris Pokrovsky was co-authored by a well-known musicologist, historian of Russian music Yevgeny Levashov. Focusing on the remarks in the "Christmas Drama", he recreated its musical fabric from the Znamenny chant, cants, Belarusian, Polish and Ukrainian psalms, etc.
As a result, a unique performance emerged, in which, on the basis of the archaic language of the drama of Dimitri Rostovsky and the early examples of Russian musical art, a sound atmosphere unexpected for the opera theater was created. The multi-figure action, in which the entire troupe is involved, is performed a'cappella, without a conductor and orchestra, poetry reading alternates freely with singing, the stereophonic placement of soloists and choir creates impressive sound effects. The feeling of the unusualness of what is happening is emphasized by the lighting: from time to time, music sounds in the twilight, broken by bright flashes of light.
