On September 11, the Alexandrinsky Theatre will host the concert "Masquerade. Deconstruction", dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the great director Vsevolod Meyerhold. This project is a study of the sound landscape of the famous play "Masquerade" based on the drama by M. Yu. Lermontov, which became the last performance of Imperial Russia, presented during the days of the February Revolution.
The original production by Meyerhold featured music by the outstanding composer Alexander Glazunov. As part of the concert "Masquerade. Deconstruction", the organizers invited academic and electronic musicians to reassemble Glazunov's tracks. Their task is to disassemble the structure of the original numbers, penetrating their musical DNA, and reassemble them using modern electronic instruments and new knowledge of composition.
This concert is a unique opportunity to hear how Glazunov's classical music is transformed under the influence of modern technologies and approaches. For all lovers of music and theater, this event will be a real revelation, allowing you to look at familiar works from a new angle.
Don't miss the chance to become part of this unforgettable evening. You can buy tickets on our website now. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of sound experiments and discover new facets of classical music.
