The Rake's Progress is Stravinsky's only major opera in the truest sense of the word: this is a multi-act composition with recitatives, arias and ensembles, unalloyed with any other musical and theatrical genres. The deliberate obsoleteness of the form becomes the starting point for modernist play: the opera's music, like its libretto, balances between respect for the past and an ironic perspective on it.
As part of the Diaghilev Festival, the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre will present the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's opera The Rake's Progress (16+) interpreted by the Artistic Director of the Novosibirsk 'Krasny Fakel' Theatre, director Andrey Prikotenko, and a great connoisseur of the 20th century music, conductor Fyodor Lednev.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
The Magic Flute, an opera-singspiel K.620 (1791)

Libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder

Director Nina Vorobyova
Musical Director and Conductor Evgeny Vorobyov
Guest soloists
The musicAeterna Orchestra 


16+

The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a fairy tale with a double bottom. The opera's plot is saturated with both deep philosophical meanings and theatrical effects. Buffoonery is juxtaposed with high solemnity, while orphic motives are combined with Masonic symbols and ideas of the Enlightenment. Protagonists undergo magical trials to find the ultimate truth. Day fights night, good fights evil, and in the end love, loyalty, and fortitude win — and, in no small part, the magic of the music itself. A new version of the classic masterpiece will be created at the festival by conductor Evgeny Vorobyov, the musicians of musicAeterna, and director Nina Vorobyova.
