The Orchestra of the Center of Opera Singing conducted by Andrey Lebedev and soloists of the Center of Opera Singing present the opera Aleko by Sergei Rakhmaninov in a concert performance.

The first opera by Sergei Rachmaninov "Aleko" became a musical transcription of the poem by A.S. Pushkin's The Gypsies.

Proud Aleko left the light and joined the gypsy camp. From now on he is his own among the representatives of this free nomadic people. He is married to a gypsy, beautiful Zemfira, and loves her selflessly.

But there will be no freedom-loving, windy Zemfira to love Aleko forever and keep him faithful. Her mother had once abandoned her father.

Aleko will not forgive his wife treason! He cruelly avenges her for deception, for her pain, for torment. Killed Zemfira, will be banished from the camp Aleko - here it is, the destructive power of jealousy.
