Bertolt Brecht

The Good Person of Szechwan

Добрый человек из Сезуана

Yuri Butusov, having staged one of the most complex plays by Bertolt Brecht in a new translation by Egor Peregudov, seemed to return it to the roots: moving away from both the socialist pathos of the 40s and the dissident rebellion of the Taganka production of the 60s, he rediscovered a dramatic parable about the essence of man.

An emotional, passionate story about the exploitation of man by man with the wonderful music of Paul Dessau performed live. Alexandra Ursulyak plays a woman and a man, sings in German, dances, and her heroine tries her best to remain a kind person in the embittered and indifferent world of people and gods.

Salzburg: La Traviata

This recording of Verdi’s "La Traviata" from the 2005 Salzburg Festival – the uncontested and hopelessly sold-out highlight of the festival season – captures the triumphal performance not only of Anna Netrebko as Violetta Valéry, but also of Rolando Villazón as her lover Alfredo.
