Armenia to host world premiere of pasticcio opera "Labyrinth"

ArmInfo. The world premiere of the pasticcio opera "Labyrinth" will take place in Armenia. The  author of the idea and script of the opera, Armenian Oleg Tumanov, decided to show it first in his historical homeland, before the performance appeared on European stages.

This unique pasticcio opera, which has no analogues in the world,  will be presented at the National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater  named after A. Spendiaryan on November 28, 29, 30. This is an  absolutely new work of postmodern theater based on the original  libretto to the music of Bach, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Offenbach,  Gounod, Bizet, Chile, Charpentier, Saint-Saens, Verdi, Kalman,  Jenkins.

The opera "Labyrinth" involves the symphony orchestra and choir of  the Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet Theater. Opera singers from  world-famous theaters, including La Scala, Covent Garden, Verona  Theater, Metropolitan Opera, Russian Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters  (baritone Vasily Ladyuk, tenor Yaroslav Abaimov, baritone Artem  Garnov, soprano Kristina Gontsa, Maria Buinosova and Kristina  Ponomareva, mezzo-soprano Anastasia Lepeshinskaya) will also perform.

The musical director and conductor of the opera is Dmitry Volosnikov,  the conductor is Harutyun Arzumanyan, the choirmaster is Narine  Voskanyan. The director and choreographer is Ivan Fadeyev, the stage  designer is Elena Solovyova. The project manager is Ani Yeprikyan.

, -  noted Oleg Tumanov.

As stated in the press release of the organizers of the premiere  performance of the opera in Armenia, "Labyrinth" is not necessarily  the monster Minotaur or the intricate passages in ancient Egyptian  temples with no hope of exit. On the contrary, sometimes wandering  through it can rebuild consciousness. This is exactly what happens to  the heroes of the pasticcio opera "Labyrinth", unique in its  dramaturgy and composition.

It should be noted that pasticcio is an opera whose music is borrowed  from various previously written operas by several or (less often) one  composer. In its other meaning, the term pasticcio is also applied to  musical compositions created in parts by several authors
