Our theatre

The children's musical theatre-studio is a part of the National Academic Great Opera Theatre of the Republic of Belarus. As a continuously functioning unit it is a unique phenomenon in the theatre world. Its foundation was initiated in 1989 by Nina Lomanovich, the current chief choirmaster of the theatre.

 

The young artists made their debut in March of 1990 with a big open concert accompanied by the theatre symphony orchestra. Later that year the audience was presented with the production of the musical "Peter Pan" by the Belarussian composer Alexander Budko. This performance made the Children's studio a full member of the Opera troupe.

 

Currently the theatre-studio has five plays in its repertoire:

 

              Cesar Quy  -  "The Cat Top-boots" (1994)

                  Mark Minkov - "The Magic music" (1997)

                 Alexandr Budko -  "Peter Pan" (2000, new edition)

                 Gennadi Gladkov - "City of the trades" (2003)

                 Elias Polskiy - "The little Tower Chamber" (Terem-Teremok, 2007)

 

                  

Additionally, the junior artists are employed in 18 operas of the regular theatre’s repertoir: "The Queen of Spades" (P.Tchaikovski), "The Magic Flute" (W.Mozart), "La Bohema" (G.Puccini), "Carmen" (G.Bizet), "Boris Godunov" and "Khovanschina" (M.Moussorgski) and others, where the participation of children is scripted.

 

Children can start attending the theatre-studio at the beginning of a new season, when the main enrolment procedure starts. The young artists are required to have initial musical training, be artistic, and have a sense of rhythm. The classes are held 3-4 times a week: children are trained in the art of musical stage acting, fundamentals of drama, choreography, and singing. Early on they become familiar with the classic opera repertoire and works of modern composers.

 

Many graduates of the theatre-studio continue on with the professional art: they keep on studying at the Belarussian State Academy of Music, Moscow Tchaikovsky’s Conservatoire, Vienna Academy of Music and Theatre; work in theatres of Belarus, Russia, Germany, and Czech Republic.
