Main Stage Opera with Symphony Orchestra

Main Stage Opera provides audiences with the full opera experience! This year’s production follows a group of friends in the post-Stalin era living in Cheryomuskhi, a district in Moscow full of cheap subsidized housing. During the wake of political and societal change, the friends are re-housed in the city’s new high density apartments, and their lives rapidly unravel — relationships are challenged and corruption seeps in at the seams. A satirical musical comedy in three acts, the operetta features lively choruses, polkas and jazz-influenced turns performed expertly by our very own
Symphony Orchestra.
Sung in English with subtitles
Directed by Ella Marchment
Music direction by Emanuele Andrizzi
