French Music and Flower Songs at the Chamber Hall of the Primorsky Stage in March

The spring season of the Chamber Hall is opened with evenings of vocal and instrumental music that have original programs.

On March 13, 2021 the concert “As a Nightingale Sings about a Rose” will be organized. Opera soloists and orchestral musicians will perform Russian and foreign compositions named for flowers. The concert conception may be formulated as follows: as a nightingale sings about a rose, so men glorify women’s beauty in these compositions. The audience will hear rare songs such as Das Veilchen (“The Violet”) by Nikolai Medtner and Narciss (“Narcissus”) by Jean Sibelius and popular ones such as Das Veilchen (“The Violet”) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Die Rose, die Lilie (“The Rose and Lily”) by Robert Schumann and Daisies by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The program also includes aria from opera by Pietro Mascagni and instrumental pieces.

On March 21, 2021 the evening of French music “C’est la vie” will be arranged. The audience will hear the best compositions by Debussy, Franck, Faure, Chausson, Poulenc, Milhaud, and Jolivet and such legendary songs as La Vie en rose (“Life in Pink”) and Les Feuilles mortes (“Dead Leaves”). The concert will be performed by prize-winners at international competitions such as Anastasia Kikot (soprano), Elena Razgulyaeva (soprano) and Marat Mukhametzyanov (baritone), leading musicians of the Mariinsky Orchestra of the Primorsky Stage and guest musicians.

Host of the concerts: Elizaveta Sushchenko.
