Оперетта Иоганна Штрауса

Wiener Blut

The premiere of the operetta "Viennese Blood" took place on October 25, 1899 at the Karl-Theater (Vienna) shortly after the death of I. Strauss. The musical score for it was collected from the works of Strauss himself by the musician Adolf Müller. "Viennese Blood" is considered to this day the best operetta to the music of Strauss, and the famous waltz "Wiener Blut" (Viennese Blood) became its leitmotif.

Especially for the Musical Comedy Theatre, the original libretto was revised by the St. Petersburg satirist writer Semyon Altov. The chief guest conductor of the Musical Comedy Theatre, the well-known Austrian violinist and conductor Peter Gut, one of the greatest specialists in the modern interpretation of the music of the "king of waltzes", worked on the musical score of the new performance.

Director Igor Konyaev: “In our performance, we decided to completely abandon historical allusions and write a modern story. The political witticisms and pamphlet-like spirit of the new play have to do with contemporary politics, not historical ones. But don't worry, this is not a talk show. This is not a story about how politicians divide the world, but about how they manage their personal lives.”

St. Petersburg artist Olga Shaishmelashvili proposed an elegant and at the same time full of humor visual solution for the performance, where the lush crinolines of imperial Vienna are combined with the ultra-fashionable trends of modern world catwalks, where evening dresses are easily combined with sports sneakers.

English

Премьера оперетты «Венская кровь» состоялась  25 октября 1899 году в Карл-Театре (Вена) вскоре после смерти И. Штрауса.  Музыкальную партитуру к ней собрал из произведений самого Штрауса музыкант Адольф Мюллер. «Венская кровь» по сей день считается лучшей опереттой на музыку Штрауса, а ее лейтмотивом стал знаменитый вальс «Wiener Blut» (Венская кровь).

Специально для Театра музыкальной комедии оригинальное либретто переработано петербургским писателем-сатириком Семеном Альтовым. Над музыкальной партитурой нового спектакля работал главный приглашенный дирижер Театра музыкальной комедии – широко известный австрийский скрипач и дирижер Питер Гут – один из крупнейших специалистов современной трактовки музыки «короля вальсов».

Режиссер Игорь Коняев: «В нашем спектакле мы решили полностью отказаться от исторических аллюзий и написать современную историю. Политические остроты и памфлетный дух новой пьесы связаны с современными политиками, а не историческими. Но не пугайтесь – это не ток-шоу. Это рассказ не о том, как политики делят мир, а о том, как они устраивают свою личную жизнь».

Петербургская художница Ольга Шаишмелашвили предложила изящное и вместе с тем полное юмора визуальное решение спектакля, где пышные кринолины имперской Вены соединены с ультрамодными тенденциями современных мировых подиумов, на которых вечерние наряды запросто сочетаются со спортивными кедами.
