Lidiia Oso Review of National Opera of Ukraine
Everyone was in the theater? I think yes. Have you...
Everyone was in the theater? I think yes. Have you been backstage? Have you seen all this magic from the other side?
I think a few have been there. Well, or, if you are the actors of this action yourself :)
In general, today I plunged into the theatrical atmosphere, and walked "from the hanger" to the backstage.
My walk began from the portrait of Shevchenko, then I get into the still sleeping auditorium and watch how the stage is being prepared for the performance - I see how the orchestra pit looks alive.
And after that I go to the holy of holies - backstage. I walk past the red corner where all the press conferences are held.
And here she is! Great scene! She is already elegant and majestic , decorated with decorations and froze in anticipation of the audience. The final preparations are coming, and I see it with my own eyes from behind the curtains! Not as a spectator, but on the reverse side! The feeling is very unusual!
I see a ballerina who is just putting on pointe shoes. I see a ballerina warming up before performing in a tracksuit and without a tutu. I go out onto the stage itself and see another sleeping auditorium. And how much lighting equipment! I had no idea how large-scale it is there.
And then I go to the stage, then the patio . I examine the props and various props for performances, which gives the performances liveliness, verisimilitude or, conversely, phantasmagoricity.
And finally, I m going through the everyday backstage to the ballet classes, where you will learn how everyday and staging work is going on, but I m also lucky - I saw the rehearsal process! What graceful and graceful they are in dance! For a couple of minutes I am dumb with delight! How beautiful they are!
I go further: I leave the backstage, and I go towards the dressing room, where you can already see a lot of makeup artists. Magic is created in the dressing room, new personalities and images are created. Young turn into old men. Beautiful in freaks. In general - this is beyond words. It is very interesting to see!
While I was walking backstage, the theater was already filling with the first spectators ...
The guide will tell you what dramatic events took place here many years ago. You will hear a story about the history of Kiev theaters associated with opera, the peculiarities of Kiev theater life and the curiosities of the long time when the theater was just beginning to develop in Kiev.
Finally, I walked around the Belleys - the most beautifully decorated place of the theater. I admired the beautiful interiors, crystal chandeliers, Venetian mirrors.
Having been backstage, I seemed to be transported into another reality. It was an unforgettable experience. The size of the scene made a lasting impression. The red room, where, the artists are waiting for their exit. And the scene, the holy of holies ...
If you have the opportunity, go and enjoy it!
