Kazan Conservatory will present a performance for the anniversary of Jaudat Faizi
The opera studio of the Kazan Conservatory is preparing a New Year's present for the audience. On December 22, on the stage of the State Big Concert Hall named after S. Saidashev, the musical comedy by Jaudat Faizi "Khizha Nasretdin" in the Tatar language will be shown. The performance is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the composer's birth.
Stage director of the play is Rinat Bektashev, Honored Art Worker of Ukraine. The plot is based on the story about a legendary oriental character, told in the play by Naki Isanbet. The witty Khuzha stands up for justice, knows how to laugh at himself and communicates with everyone on an equal footing, regardless of dignity and class.
According to director, this production is a kind of fantasy, an attempt to look at the past through the eyes of a modern person. At the same time, the performance recreates the tradition of the so-called "school of performance", which is characterized by demonstration of exaggerated passions.
Music by Jaudat Faizi will be edited and orchestrated by Ilyas Kamal. In addition, several of the young author's own compositions will organically complement the sounding fabric of the performance.
Performers - young singers, soloists of the opera studio of the Kazan Conservatory Ilgiz Mukhutdinov, Diana Medvedeva, Dilyara Tukhvatullina, Airat Ganiev, Ruslan Zakirov, Aigul Gardislamova, Mustafa Aliev and others. Artistic director of the opera studio is the Honored Art Worker of the Republic of Tatarstan Alfiya Zapparova.
The production also involves the Tatarica Orchestra under the baton of the Honored Art Worker of the Republic of Tatarstan Rinat Khalitov and the Opera Studio Choir (directed by Gulnaz Akbarova).
An important role in preparation of the performance is played by accompanists Tatyana Safonova and Venera Gataullina, acting teacher, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Liya Zagidullina and speech technique teacher, Doctor of Philology Gaptrauf Nuriev.
It is not the first time that the opera studio of the Kazan Conservatory has turned to the work of Jaudat Faizi - in 2010 the sparkling musical comedy "Shoes" was staged, which earned high praise from critics and the love of the public.
