The story has been told before, but never like this. An occupied desert nation. A radical from the wilderness on hunger strike. A girl whose mysterious dance will change the course of the world. This charged retelling turns the infamous biblical tale on its head, placing the girl we call Salomé at the centre of a revolution. Internationally acclaimed director Yaël Farber (Les Blancs) draws on multiple accounts to create her urgent, hypnotic production on the Olivier stage. Cast: Isabella Nefar, Lloyd Hutchinson, Olwen Fouere Country: UK Year: 2017 Language: English with Russian subtitles Tickets, dates and venues: afisha.yandex.ru Link: www.ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk L’elisir d’amore Opera L’elisir d’amore is a comic opera in two acts by the Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti. Felice Romani wrote the Italian libretto, after Eugène Scribe’s libretto for Daniel Auber’s Le philtre. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Music Theatre presents a marvelously detailed staging by Lyudmila Naletova that captures at every turn both the work’s pathos and its humor. Designer Viktor Arkhipov aids Naletova with a riot of color in sets and costumes, vaguely – but only very vaguely – suggesting the composer’s own native northern Italy.
