| Dear Comrades! (Dorogie tovarischi!) |
|
|
|
|
16:55. Drama, History. Russia 2020, 121 min. Directed by Andrey Konchalovskiy. Starring: Yulia Vystoskaya, Sergey Erlish, Yulia Burova, Andrey Gusev, Vladislav Komarov. In Russian with English subtitles. The main character of the film is Lyudmila, a high-ranking employee of the Novocherkassk City Committee in 1962. The country has decided to raise prices on basic produce and home goods, and the city is exploding with discontent and rebellion. The heroine and her family are caught up in the whirlwind of the uprising and face something that she never wanted to experience. The premiere of Andrey Konchalovsky's new film was held at the Venice Film Festival, where the film was awarded the Special Jury Prize. However, "Dear Comrades!" should be interesting to Russian audiences first and foremost, as it tells about the painful and rarely covered topic of the Soviet past.

USA 2010, 169 min. Conductor: Louis Langrée. Starring: Simon Keenlyside, Marlis Petersen, James Morris. In French. After over a century out of the Met’s repertoire, audiences were thrilled to discover just what a sensational evening in the theater Thomas’s Hamlet can be. Simon Keenlyside’s riveting performance as the tortured Prince of Denmark in Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s starkly brooding production had critics raving that Keenlyside’s superb singing, coupled with his deftly delineated three-dimensional Hamlet, was one of the greatest examples of operatic drama of our time. The cast includes Marlis Petersen as the long suffering Ophélie, who brilliantly shows why her mad scene is so justly famous, along with Jennifer Larmore and James Morris as Gertrude and Claudius.
