"In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a merchant ..."
So it is heard in the fairy tale of the remarkable Russian writer Aksakov, the melodious voice of the old housekeeper Pelagia, telling about the wonderful countries of the overseas, the prince enchanted and the little flower, the beauty of which is not in the world.
A spectacle of the Pushkin Theater was staged on this fascinating Russian fairy tale. His premiere took place in the year of the opening of the theater, and since then, to this day, 60 years, the performance pleases the young spectators. By the most conservative estimates, it was watched by 3 million people during this time. This is us, our children, their grandparents, great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers. Among the rapidly disappearing historical Moscow, the "Scarlet Flower" is almost a tourist attraction, but the attraction is alive, kind. This play is about charity, about readiness for self-sacrifice, about true love, which tolerates and conquers all evil.
The fate of the play closely intertwined with the history of the theater itself. Here is the tender Alyonushka - the future People's Artist of Russia Vera Alentova, but Leshy jumped out - novice artist Vladmir Vysotsky ....
The artists changed, but the meaning of this wonderful fairy tale remained unchanged - something that attracted and attracted children and adults for many, many years - the ability of a good heart to work miracles.
January 22, 2011 the play "Scarlet Flower" was held in the 4000th !! time.
The performance is included in the Russian Book of Records as "the longest-running children's play".
“ Good performance! Sinishka (5 years old) watched with interest to almost the end!
“ I liked the fairy tale very much. Beautiful scenery, very beautiful costumes. Children under 7 years of age make sense to be put on their knees, very deep chairs. Then you need to buy 1 ticket to the right place, and the second cheapest (as explained to me in the theater).
“ The performance is simply gorgeous, classics. We had a child with 3.5 years
“ The best performance! With pleasure went with my daughter for 11 years. And although she was notably distinguished among others by age, she enjoyed the performance tremendously!
“ Thank you for the performance. Wishes: to increase audibility in the back rows and reduce the volume of orchestral teachings-children are frightened
“ Great performance!
“ With satisfaction, I will speak out. Actors need to make microphones, or speak on stage louder. The amphitheater is very poorly audible. And from loud music already jumped.
“ The performance really liked but very poorly audible we sat in the amphitheater
“ Good afternoon! I liked the scenery and setting. But with the sound of just trouble, half the words are not audible. We sat in the third row of the amphitheater. Some characters were not heard at all (nurse, monster). The children kept asking what they said. Alas, but more to you we will not go.
“ Wonderful performance, but the difficulty, apparently, with acoustics - speech of some actors was absolutely impossible to disassemble, thank you!
“ The production was very popular with children and adults, colorful costumes, scenery. Thanks to the actors and everyone who took part in the production and organization of the performance.
“ 02/15/2014 We went to our family today: my grandmother (65), children (15 and 7), I'm with my husband (35 and 36). That is, despite this different age, everyone liked the performance! The actors play is amazing! Though the places were far away, in the amphitheater, but the audibility is good. The floor in the hall with the right bias, the chairs are arranged so that it was visible to everyone. We watched this performance in another theater, there is something to compare with. There are a lot of children (3-8 years) in the hall, which is to be expected, as the performance is 0+, but everyone is so enthusiastic that the noise is only in intermission or pause, when the decoration changes after the curtain (2-3 minutes). Intermission twice for 15 minutes. Beautiful bright costumes, actors play plausible, colorful scenery, there are such "realistic" moments and special effects like the departure of a ship (and after the scenery it is seen how the merchant sails on a ship), the flight of a woman-yaga on a mortar, when swords strike, then sparks fly And many others. Other. In general, very cool! I recommend.
“ The performance is good. The scenery is beautiful, the costumes. It's only strange that the scenery changes every time the curtain is closed. Children are distracted.
“ The performance really liked, the scenery is excellent
“ I liked it very much. A wonderful work of actors, magnificent scenery!
“ The view is magnificent. I liked it very much. I will recommend to friends.
“ I liked it very much.
“ We watched a fairy tale with her granddaughter, she is 6 years old. Liked! No wonder this production is so long! It is unfortunate that there were so few performances in the classical production. Modern filmmakers consider their readings to be more interesting than author's, or maybe it is not worth correcting the author? And, in general, it is a pity that there are few Russian classics, both in music and in drama theaters. Even Tchaikovsky sounds seldom. In the past theatrical season, Tchaikovsky's first concert sounded twice: December (2012) in the Tchaikovsky Hall and April in the Great Hall of the Conservatory. It's wonderful, but nothing more!
“ The tale liked both adults and children. The only problem - in the fairy tale aksakov younger daughter nastenka .. and not Alena
“ A remarkable performance and a very good theater. Thank you!
“ Went with girls 5.5 and 7.5 years. Children really liked us, too. The performance is very good, dynamic, with two intermissions even small children sit quietly and do not get tired. Stunning scenery, beautiful costumes, a good game of actors. We sat in the amphitheater, it was very nice. Electronic tickets were received at the box office in just a few minutes, there were no overlays. Thank you very much, we will definitely come again and again and will use the BigBilet service!
“ Thank you for the performance! I liked it very much. We watched with my daughter for 8 years.
“ Were at the play with her daughter (8 years old) on March 10, 2014. The play really liked the play.
“ Wonderful performance! With such performances, and we must start the children. Then they will love the theater.
“ I was with my son for 10 years at the Pushkin Theater in the play The Scarlet Flower! From the very first minutes my restless child watched without stopping on the stage. The sensational actors' game interested me. I did not think that I would watch a children's fairy tale with such interest. We had a wonderful evening at the theater . Many thanks to the actors)))
“ Thank you, wonderful
“ A wonderful performance and a great game of actors! Thank you!
“ Pupil liked the performance! The child of 7 years in ecstasy! Thank you, we will return to MDT them. Pushkin more than once!
“ Thank you for the performance. Very much.
“ Thank you very much for the performance! The only thing that three actions a bit long!
“ Thank you, the difficulty in getting tickets is perhaps the biggest drawback.
“ Obtaining a ticket at the ticket office turned out to be a very difficult matter: the administrator sent everyone around the theater to the cashier near the service entrance. Computers did not work. From there we were sent back to the cashier, because We were with PIN-codes, the admin tried to send us back, talked in elevated tones, did not apologize for being in vain. The mood was spoiled. And the performance is excellent !!
“ Very pleased!
“ I liked the performance very much. Thank you
“ Thank you!!! We received wonderful impressions and great joy !!! Interesting performance, wonderful actors, colorful scenery. We looked at one breath. I really liked the theater itself, the atmosphere, polite and kind staff. We will definitely come to other performances. C Honored, Elena Zotova.
