The choice of works would seem strange to any theater of the city, except the theater of St. Petersburg Opera. Artistic director Yuri Alexandrov is famous for its creative experiments and unexpected directorial decisions. By the way, and Hindemith's opera Butsko set the stage for the first time in Russia.

In the performance of chamber opera "From Jewish Folk Poetry" in our memory occur simultaneously and everyday scenes in the paintings of Marc Chagall and Babi Yar. This cycle of 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. In subsequent years, Shostakovich wrote on this subject a few more songs, and the cycle was performed for the first time in full in January 1955 in the Small Hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic. Shostakovich 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. Eleven rooms cycle is alive dramatic scenes in the tradition of Mussorgsky.

Stage opus mysterious German avant Paul Hindemith - "Return", a small time, outrageous mini-opera in the style of cabaret is solved as a "nightmare vahtershi theater." This is a story about the theater, that it is eternal, unusual, strange, he lives day and night ... Sets - vahtershi desk with a phone and a lamp, table, TV. And at night the empty theater are her phantoms, ghosts. A parallel program is on television, where viewers can also discern his "back and forth."

Contemporary composer Yuri Butsko - author of numerous academic works. He has written music for a variety of film and television, as well as the legendary performance of the Taganka Theater and the Theater of Satire, where the main role performed by stars of domestic theatrical art: Vladimir Vysotsky, A.Mironov, A.Papanov, A. Shirvindt etc. " White nights "were created by the composer in 1968. Although the opera caused a resonance in the musical environment, it has not been delivered at home for reasons of Soviet censorship. The only gramzapis the time, performed an outstanding conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky (soloists - Mr. Mischevsky and Galina Pisarenko). In season 1968/69's "White Nights" set in Dresden (theater brilliant opera director Harry Kupfer). The success was overwhelming. "I was happy - says the composer - I thought I lived, as Wagner whole city at my feet." At the Russian theater that opera audiences have never seen. Only now, after more than forty years, the play "White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky" are domestic audience in the original production. Stage version of the director - an attempt to tell the young Dostoevsky, his astral connection with the strange and ghostly Petersburg.
