"Kuratov" - opera
The opera has been commissioned by the State Opera and Ballet Theatre of Komi Republic. The premiere took place in Syktyvkar on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2009. The opera is in Russian and Komi language.
There is no space to place the whole opera so I included only fragments of it. You can also watch them in YouTube.
Here is the "Prolog" - the action here is happening in modern days. A Poet, creating a libretto of an opera about Ivan Kuratov - another poet who lived in 19th century Komi, is having a writers block. As usual (or may be not THAT usual), his Muze comes to help. And they have a little creative argument about how to proceed further. Here is how it goes:
The next fragment is happening in 19th century - Kuratov is in Ust-Sysolsk (the name of Syktyvkar in 19th century).
In this aria "Komi Kyv" he is expressing his love for Komi language.
The next fragment shows Voinaralsky (political exile) sings his love to a local girl Maria.
Here Maria answers back:
This fragment shows Duet of Levitsky (local poliseman) and his sidekick Spiridon.
Another name for this Duet is "Drunken Duet":
Sandra's aria "Eshke una tai"
Voinaralsky's "Couplets":
Choire "Micha Zon":
Trio "Kuim Pozhem":
Sandra's aria "Kod vylo"
"Finale":
