M. I. Glinka created an opera based on the poem of the same name by A. S. Pushkin, but with changes in the plot and cast of characters. The premiere took place in 1842 on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in St. Petersburg. As musicologists note, “the first acquaintance with Glinka’s masterpiece in 1842 took listeners by surprise: the usual scenario schemes were filled with new content. The music of the old magic operas only illustrated the change of situations - here it acquired an independent meaning.” But later this opera won the love of the public, and many of the arias became widely known.
Glinka's opera appears on the stage of the Musical Theater of Karelia for the first time. Producing director Anna Salova offers her own interpretation: the action begins several years after the heroes’ wedding, and the plot of the poem comes to life when the heroes read Pushkin’s book. This is how modern life is engulfed by surreal events. (This happens in many famous Russian fairy tales.) “A. S. Pushkin’s poem has been known to us since childhood,” says the director, “but over time we come to the realization that the questions raised in this work are far from childish. Analysis of M. I. Glinka’s music made me look at many scenes of the opera in a completely different way.

English

М. И. Глинка создал оперу по мотивам одноименной поэмы А. С. Пушкина, но с изменениями в сюжете и составе действующих лиц. Премьера состоялась в 1842 году на сцене Большого театра в Петербурге. Как отмечают музыковеды, «первое знакомство с шедевром Глинки в 1842 году захватило слушателей врасплох: привычные сценарные схемы наполнились новым содержанием. Музыка старых волшебных опер лишь иллюстрировала смену ситуаций – здесь она приобрела самостоятельное значение». Но впоследствии эта опера завоевала любовь публики, а многие арии получили широчайшую известность.
На сцене Музыкального театра Карелии опера Глинки появляется впервые. Режиссер-постановщик Анна Салова предлагает собственную трактовку: действие начинается уже через несколько лет после свадьбы героев, и сюжет поэмы оживает, когда герои читают книгу Пушкина. Так современную жизнь охватывают ирреальные события. (Подобное случается во многих известных русских сказках.) «Поэма А. С. Пушкина известна нам с самого детства, – говорит режиссер, – но со временем приходит осознание того, что вопросы, поднимающиеся в этом произведении, далеко не детские. Анализ музыки М. И. Глинки заставил совсем иначе взглянуть на многие сцены оперы».
