This year marks 150 years since the publication of the novel “Crime and Punishment.” Rock opera based on Dostoyevsky’s works, conceived in Soviet times, introduced the director Andrei Konchalovsky. The Russian novel, which became a landmark abroad, directing very Russian and very “Western” masters, music by Eduard Artemyev, poems Yuri Ryashentseva decorations recognized master of scenography Briton Matt Dilli. About how it happened, “Crime and Punishment” – a report from our correspondent.
This statement waited for almost 30 years. Andrei Konchalovsky conceived it in 1979. The long awaited music by Edward Artemiev. 10 years ago the three-hour drive from the opera composer. It became clear: a huge score of layered, designed for large-scale orchestra – not for musical fans. The path to today’s premiere – a search for compromise, cuts, revisions of the libretto. But the director is happy. Extremely talkative with reporters, in good spirits and jocular
On stage 60 -. The same amount of work for it. Scale sets ordered in London: they are fashionable now mepinga – complex projections. Behind – and multistage casting actors. Only Sonya Marmeladov half auditioned thousands of girls.
What are the only age did not encounter in the rock opera “Crime and Punishment.” Peasant carts, baskets and accordions with bagels – it’s just the beginning. On the stage is already hanging portraits of Lenin and Che Guevara, and in the end we will see the special forces and police cars.
But the creators say, rather, of timelessness and deliberate confusion of styles and genres. For each line of Dostoevsky’s novel answers his own musical theme. Mixed in a bunch of rock, opera arias, folk, rap and songs
«I realized that rock style -. Dostoevsky as wider and deeper! So many spots left. This is a whole layer, the slice of Russian society. And then it occurred to me: let it be an accordion, not just imitating and normal accordion. And so it went, “- he says the composer, People’s Artist of Russia Eduard Artemyev
« Wednesday, where the combined tragic with the comic, even sarcastic.. Dostoevsky is doing fine. Chekhov is even better. Therefore polizhanrovost in this thing is very important. This is the music and the streets and the Conservatory “- said the director, People’s Artist of Russia Andrei Konchalovsky
Here Raskolnikov rock singer.. He wants to kill the old woman pawnbroker – insidious “mom” of prostitutes. Among the ladies like the movie “Intergirl” – and says Sonia. It turned out monologues Rodion Romanovich of trembling creature perfect fall rhythmically rap.
«The book turned out a shadow of what we have. The character also topically feels all the problems of the current society, too, wants to save people, but Raskolnikov put in other circumstances “, – he says the artist Alexander Kazmin
The philosophy of setting the creators emphasize.. Like, acute, painful and sometimes pathetic sound is eternal themes of violence, slavery, crime and punishment. But it’s best to forget about Fyodor Mikhailovich and just enjoy the fun and spectacle of quality.
