“ I first came to this performance 6 years ago. Almost by accident. It is a masterpiece!!! With a minimum of scenery and props, the creators of the play managed to create the atmosphere of all the main stages of the life of the great Russian chansonnier: pre-revolutionary Moscow, Odessa captured by whites, Constantinople filled with Russian emigrants, night pubs in pre-war Paris and ... a return to Moscow. Everything that "lives" on the stage is taken from the book of memoirs by Alexander Vertinsky "Dear Long" and "illustrated" by the songs of the great Russian chansonnier performed by Sergei Fedotov to the accompaniment of the co-author of the play Irina Skosyreva. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves the Silver Age, in general, and the work of Alexander Nikolaevich, in particular, as well as to everyone who would like to touch it, but do not know where to start!

“ In the evening of April 18, a concert-performance "Thank you heart" was visited with my son (13 years old) !. Very satisfied, the theme of the play is the work of Utesov in the period of the military and post-war, victorious time, which is very actual on the eve of the May holidays). The voice and image of Utesov is very reliably transmitted, we must pay tribute to the courage and talent to the main role of Utesov, BRAVO !!!! After all, the audience had the opportunity to compare his performances with the original, and more than once, in the course of the performance, songs were played and scenes from the films and concerts of Utesov himself were displayed on the screen! Even before the concert and in the interval, old Soviet newspapers were given out on the tables, memorable, we got Izvestia from May 9, 1945, it was very well thought out for immersion in the atmosphere of those years, here you have an educational moment and an educational one) (I'm talking about my son ) In the end I want to say thank you to all the musicians, live music and listen pleasantly and can not be replaced by anything), too, BRAVO !!
