The exhibition “Premonition of the Opera” will open at the Nizhny Novgorod Arsenal on April 28. The organizers report this.

The exhibition was prepared jointly with the Nizhny Novgorod Opera and Ballet Theater named after A.S. Pushkin.

The exhibition precedes the premiere of Mieczysław Weinberg’s opera “The Love of D’Artagnan”. It presents the works of artist Valery Koshlyakov, created by him when designing a future production.

Working on the design of the premiere at the Nizhny Novgorod Opera and Ballet Theater named after A.S. Pushkin, he created more than 30 sketches of scenery and costumes using the collage technique. The exhibition will be complemented by a video installation that gives the sketches a stage scale and combines them with the sounds of the first rehearsals of the future opera.

Valery Koshlyakov is known for monumental works that combine classical painting, fundamental images of world culture with unexpected, everyday materials – cardboard, tape, newspaper clippings, etc. His author’s approach perfectly coincided with the idea of ​​staging an opera that blurred the boundaries between a textbook text for Soviet people Alexandre Dumas, whose events unfold in the early 17th century in France, and the 1979 television film D’Artagnan and the Three Musketeers.

The premiere of the opera “D’Artagnan’s Love” will take place at the Nizhny Novgorod Opera and Ballet Theater on July 6 and 7.

The exhibition can be visited until July 21.
