Alexander Dargomyzhsky's opera in three acts. Libretto by the composer after Alexander Pushkin's play of the same name. Music Director: Anton Grishanin. Stage Director: Dmitry Belyanushkin. Costume Designer: Irena Belousova. The story about the Seville aristocrat, Don Juan Tenorio, is one of the most popular subject matters in theatre. To count all the stage variations on this theme is simply impossible! The Don Juan myth was to become an all-time favorite, and the character of its hero an all-embracing model. Each age would find in it something of their own. From a madcap prankster he evolves into a philosopher, from a sceptic into a neurasthenic, from a rebel into a passionate lover. Cursed and forgiven, now cocking a snook at the universe, now repentant – this hero became a litmus paper of a sort for each age. And sometimes his appearance indicated a new watershed in art, and for many authors to turn to this subject matter was in a way a manifesto. The present Bolshoi Theatre production of The Stone Guest is produced by the young director Dmitry Belyanushkin. It is Belyanushkin’s third work for the Bolshoi (his two preceding productions for the Theatre The Story of Kai and Gerda and The Fables of the Vixen, the Duckling and Balda were for children). The well-known designers Viktor Shilkrot and Irena Belousova are responsible for the scenography and costumes.
