In 2010, at the age of 25 years, Anton Lubchenko became the youngest Artistic Director and Chief Conductor in the history of Russia, heading the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater of the Republic of Buryatia in Ulan-Ude. In 2013 he was appointed General Director, Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the newly built State Primorsky Opera and Ballet Theatre in Vladivostok. There, it was his task to create a new symphony orchestra, choir, ballet and ensemble of opera singers. During his three-year tenure in Vladivostok, Anton Lubchenko staged 15 opera and ballet performances. Thanks to his initiative no less than 9 international festivals were held at the State Primorsky Theatre and he was invited, together with his orchestra and ensemble, to perform in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and the Brucknerhaus in Linz, Austria. Since 2015, Anton Lubchenko is composer in residence for the annual ball at Dresden’s Semperoper. On the occasion of the premieres of his compositions, he conducted the Staatskapelle Dresden. Since 2016, he is the official composer for Lenfilm (St. Petersburg), the oldest film studio in Russia. Until now Anton Lubchenko has created the music for 5 feature movies. From 2017 to September 2020 Anton Lubchenko held the position of Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Sochi Symphony Orchestra. The list of his other engagements is impressive, and includes the following: - In 2019 his string sextet op.106 Souvenir de Leonardo accompanied the exhibition “Mona Lisa - a smile for Europe” in the Red City Hall in Berlin. The work was written especially for this exhibition on the occasion of the elections to the European Parliament. - In 2018 his very own 9th Symphony (Linzer Symphony) had its world premiere in Austria at the Brucknerhaus in Linz under the baton of Vladimir Fedoseyev. Together with Mozart’s Linzer Symphony it was later recorded and released in the album “Two Linzer Symphonies”. - In the 2017/18 season, he acted as Music Director for the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. 08.09.2020 page 1 of 2 CANTO+ GmbH Lichtentaler Str. 13 D 76530 Baden – Baden [email protected] www.CANTOPLUS.com - In 2015, his opera Doctor Zhivago, based on the world-famous novel by Boris Pasternak, had its world premiere under the composer’s baton at the Theater Regensburg, Germany, to much critical acclaim.

This performance inaugurated the celebrations of the 1150th anniversary of the origin of Russian Statehood. - His cantata, The Voice, based on words by Mikhail Lomonosov, has been awarded 1st Prize, as well as the Special Prize of the Moscow Conservatory at the "An Ode for Lomonosov" Competition in Moscow 2011. The cantata was subsequently performed in the presence of the Government of the Russian Federation at a concert devoted to Lomonosov’s 300th anniversary at the Moscow State University and at Moscow’s International House of Music. - In 2010 Anton Lubchenko conducted a concert-requiem at the castle of Brest, Belarus. The program included works by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and himself. This project was sponsored by the CIS Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation and the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States “Rossotrudnichestvo”. - In 2009 he premiered and conducted his ballet, In Colors, in Toronto with the National Ballet of Canada. - In 2006, his opera The Son of Man, in memory of the victims of the Beslan tragedy, was premiered in Vladikavkaz, Russia. - A performance of his Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the opening of the 12th Easter Festival in 2003 was the beginning of the, at the time only 18-year-old, composer’s career. Anton Lubchenko graduated from the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in St. Petersburg in 2008 in the composition class of Aleksander Mnatsakanyan (a student of Dmitri Shostakovich) and in the piano class of Natalya Brovermann. He is a prizewinner of many international competitions including the renowned Silver National Prize “Pure Sound” for the best recording of Russian music with Prokofiev's opera The Story of a Real Man, op. 117. His compositions currently include nine symphonies, four operas, several ballets, chamber music and numerous other works for orchestra, choirs and pianoforte. He was given the honorary title of "The Muses of St. Petersburg". Future plans include engagements with the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Tonhalle Zurich and the world premiere of another new opera, which was commissioned by the Regensburg Theater. 08.09.2020 page 2 of 2 CANTO+ GmbH Lichtentaler Str. 13 D 76530 Baden – Baden [email protected] www.CANTOPLUS.com .

  • The Transformation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Into Tchaikovsky's Opera
    THE TRANSFORMATION OF PUSHKIN'S EUGENE ONEGIN INTO TCHAIKOVSKY'S OPERA Molly C. Doran A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Megan Rancier © 2012 Molly Doran All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Since receiving its first performance in 1879, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s fifth opera, Eugene Onegin (1877-1878), has garnered much attention from both music scholars and prominent figures in Russian literature. Despite its largely enthusiastic reception in musical circles, it almost immediately became the target of negative criticism by Russian authors who viewed the opera as a trivial and overly romanticized embarrassment to Pushkin’s novel. Criticism of the opera often revolves around the fact that the novel’s most significant feature—its self-conscious narrator—does not exist in the opera, thus completely changing one of the story’s defining attributes. Scholarship in defense of the opera began to appear in abundance during the 1990s with the work of Alexander Poznansky, Caryl Emerson, Byron Nelson, and Richard Taruskin. These authors have all sought to demonstrate that the opera stands as more than a work of overly personalized emotionalism. In my thesis I review the relationship between the novel and the opera in greater depth by explaining what distinguishes the two works from each other, but also by looking further into the argument that Tchaikovsky’s music represents the novel well by cleverly incorporating ironic elements as a means of capturing the literary narrator’s sardonic voice.

  • Sept 30, Oct 4, 6, 8
    Tchaikovsky’s SEPT 30, OCT 4, 6, 8 In-Depth Guide by Stu Lewis INTRODUCTION: “THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING” Russian opera has always been a “hard sell” for American opera companies. The most obvious reason is the Russian language itself, which lacks the lyricism of French or Italian. It can be hard to find American or Western European singers who are comfortable singing in Russian, since most opera students focus on French, Italian, and German, in addition to their native languages. Yet this cannot be the only reason. For the first forty years of its existence, Lyric Opera of Kansas City performed all of its repertoire in English—yet no Russian operas were produced during that period. This year’s “Eugene Onegin” is only the second Russian opera production. The other one? Also “Eugene Onegin.” Moreover, the reasons for the dearth of Russian opera in the U.S. cannot be political. Russian concertos, ballets, and symphonies are a familiar part of the American musical scene; even Soviet-era composers such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich are widely admired. The shining exception to our neglect of Russian opera is Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin.” Of course, the general popularity of Tchaikovsky’s music is one reason for its success, though none of the composer’s other operas have approached the status of this one. What is it that makes this opera stand out? One reason is that many Russian operas were written in the “grand opera” tradition that is currently out of vogue. Tchaikovsky himself was concerned at the lack of action in the story, so much so that he hesitated to call it an opera, preferring the term “lyrical scenes.” Moreover, it is a love story without a love duet, and in the end the hero and heroine part quietly.

  • Tchaikovsky.Pdf
    Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day.

  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous.

    VISSARION SHEBALIN: COMPLETE MUSIC FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Paul Conway Vissarion Shebalin was one of the foremost composers and teachers in the Soviet Union. Dmitri Shostakovich held him in the highest esteem; he kept a portrait of his slightly older friend and colleague hanging on his wall and wrote this heartfelt obituary: Shebalin was an outstanding man. His kindness, honesty and absolute adherence to principle always amazed me. His enormous talent and great mastery immediately earned him burning love and authority with friends and musical community.1 Recent recordings have rekindled interest from listeners and critics alike in the works of this key fgure in mid-twentieth-century Soviet music. Vissarion Yakovlevich Shebalin was born in Omsk, the capital of Siberia, on 11 June 1902. His parents, both teachers, were utterly devoted to music. When he was eight years old, he began to learn the piano. By the age of ten he was a student in the piano class of the Omsk Division of the Russian Musical Society. Here he developed a love of composition. In 1919 he completed his studies at middle school and entered the Institute of Agriculture – the only local university at that time. When a music college opened in Omsk in 1921, Shebalin joined immediately, studying theory and composition with Mikhail Nevitov, a former pupil of Reinhold Glière. In 1923 he was accepted into Nikolai Myaskovsky’s composition class at the Moscow Conservatoire. His frst pieces, consisting of some romances and a string quartet, received favourable reviews in the press. Weekly evening concerts organised by the Association of 1 ‘To the Memory of a Friend’, in Valeria Razheava (ed.), Shebalin: Life and Creativity, Molodaya Gvardiya, Moscow, 2003, pp.
