Evening of one-act operas
This selection of works would seem strange to any theater of the city, except for the theater "St. Petersburg Chamber Opera." Artistic director Yuri Alexandrov is famous for its creative experiments and unexpected directorial decisions.

At the heart of the play - unfinished opera (based on the play Gogol), on which the composer worked in 1942, while in the evacuation. Gogol's characters reinterpreted director. They exist in the play and as a fruit of imagination of the composer, and as actors of the political situation 30s, dramatically recalled to the fate and work of the composer. "Players - 1942" - a film director and a look at the music of Shostakovich, and retrospective thoughts and feelings during the writing of the composer of the opera. This is a play about the Shostakovich, which together with the development of the voice of the composer, his music, letters to his family from the besieged city. Two dramatic line performance, seamlessly interwoven hit of wear facets of the tragic and the comic.

Fragments of the suite from the ballet "The Golden Age." In the XX century was not a composer who would have a greater impact on the entire development of music than Dmitri Shostakovich. Shostakovich showed particular interest in theater and film. The period of the late 1920s - early 1930s associated with the development of the individual style of the composer, with an intensive search for new forms and means of expression. Creating two operas, music for numerous dramatic productions and films, the composer has made a major contribution to the formation of the new Soviet ballet.
 
"From Jewish Folk Poetry" - a song cycle by Dmitri Shostakovich was established in 1948. In it the atmosphere of songs, inspired by the life and suffering of ordinary people from poor Jewish families. It was first performed in one of Shostakovich's birthday at his home with friends and made a stunning impression on all his genius. The composer did not use folk sources, but the music is permeated by Jewish characteristic intonations as proper vocal and speech. This is not the songs, not songs in the traditional sense. In the stage version of "St. Petersburg Chamber Opera" eleven vocal numbers cycle turned into living cheap popular scenes, stylized paintings of Marc Chagall.
