Melodrama in 2 acts

Directed by the Honored Art Worker of Uzbekistan Vladimir Shapiro

The title character – Alexander Amilcar - is a rich Parisian who has had 30 years of being let down in love and friendship. He picked up off the street a loftily disdainful professional actress Eleanor, a middle-aged painter Masha, and a prostitute Virginia.
For 10,000 francs a week, they are to simulate the situation that life has failed to afford him by improvising, to his direction, the behavior of a perfect family. He wants it to look like the real thing…

«The Cherry Orchard» by Anton Chekhov
 

Comedy in 2 acts

The Cherry Orchard describes the lives of a group of Russians, in the wake of the Liberation of the serfs. The nineteenth century offered two important developments to Russia which are manifested in the play. In the 1830's, the railroads arrived, an important step in Russia's move into a more international sphere. More importantly, in February of 1861, Russia's vast population of serfs was liberated for good, bringing a long-awaited social change. These two dimensions, social change and the growing importance of the international community, pervade the play and even drive the plot.
With the changes in the class system, debates about the nature of progress and freedom spring up across Russia, and these questions are reflected in The Cherry Orchard as well. The theme of social change is an international theme at the moment when the play was written: countries everywhere, including the United States, were experiencing similar growing pains and similar philosophical debates.
Chekhov's writing style is very pertinent to the population of Russia at this moment. While former aristocrats still patronized the arts, there was also a growing class of less educated, nouveau-rich attending the theater. Chekhov's plays are famous for their simple language, which many hold partly responsible for his popularity. The fact that his play discusses every social class in language that everyone can understand makes his play accessible to people of all backgrounds. It makes high-brow jokes while also being universally comedic.

Ivan Turgenev and Polina Viardo – Story of Love
 

Director: Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Anisimov
Literary performance in 2 acts

Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev was a Russian novelist and playwright. His novel Fathers and Sons is regarded as one of the major works of XIXth century fiction.
Pauline Viardot (her name appears in various forms like Polina Viardo) was a French mezzo-soprano and composer of Spanish descent. Her friend George Sand directing her to Louis Viardot - an author and the director of the Théâtre Italien. Pauline Viardot had a happy and intense family life and her children followed in her musical footsteps. Her marriage did not stop the steady stream of infatuated men.
Ivan Turgenev fell passionately in love with her after hearing her rendition of The Barber of Seville in Russia in 1843. In 1845, he left Russia to follow Pauline and eventually installed himself in the Viardot household, treated her four children as his own, and adored her until he died. She, in turn, critiqued his work and through her connections and social abilities, presented him in the best light whenever they were in public. The exact status of their relationship is still a matter of debate…
