A musical based on the memoirs of Giacomo Casanova
The musical "Casanova in Russia" is one of the most vivid and demanded performances. It can be called a landmark performance of the theater "Buffa", reflecting its genre specificity.
In the musical tells of one little-known period of life of the famous Italian - his short stay in Russia and romantic love for a simple Russian girl. The material for the production was the memoirs of J. Casanov himself, on the motives of which I. Shtokbant created this historical fantasy.
"Most of all I'm interested in a Russian woman who impressed Casanova's imagination," says the director. - I thought about her life, about her fate, about her drama. We want the viewer to share this amazing story of one love with us. "
Wonderful music by Vladislav Uspensky, an outstanding St. Petersburg composer, creates a special atmosphere of intense action, where every minute seems most significant in the fate of the characters.

Review
For the brilliant lover of Casanova, the intoxication of passion is boundless, and fleetingly, for its victims it is instantaneous - and forever.
The notorious Casanova, firmly settled in the hearts of many women, but not remaining with any of them, comes to Russia. Only one victory in his Russian love account. About his attitude to the beautiful girl Zoe we learn from the memoirs of an inveterate heartthrob, where he is scrupulously and ironically, although not without cynicism, will describe, among the notes about his glorious adventures, his acquaintance with Russian life and Russian morals.
The musical, however, unfolds us to an unexpected point of view, offering to look at the intrigue from the position of a seduced girl. Young and inexperienced, in the hands of the irresistible Chevalier Zoya is just a toy. To oppose love is not in her power, and this brings her and Kazanova together. It can not betray love, and it's up to tragic break them.
All that remains that is no longer desired is to cry out in songs, weep in sorrow, and her song will be light and gentle, like the love of a truly and primordially Russian woman.
