THE ACTORS OF THE MALY THEATRE READ PUSHKIN IN THE MANOR OF COUNTESS ZAKREVSKAYA

The 220th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Pushkin is just another good reason to remember the great writer and his works. On June 9, the artists of the Maly Theatre were invited to perform in the Ivanovskoye estate in Podolsk.

In the year of the 220th anniversary of the Alexander Pushkin birth, the museum decided to hold an exhibition dedicated to Nadya Rusheva. Nadya Rusheva was a Soviet graphic artist, author of an amazing series of works - “Pushkiniana” - illustrations for Pushkin's works. What can be seen at the exhibition in Podolsk is taken from the exposition of the Nadya Rusheva school memorial museum (at the Moscow school number 1466, which bears her name).

Actors of the Maly Theatre, Stanislav Soshnikov and Lyubov Eshchenko, were invited to speak at the opening of the exhibition.Both actors play in the theatre's productions based on Pushkin's works. Stanislav plays in The Tale of Tsar Saltan and in Count Nulin along with Alexander Naumov and Karina Sakhanenko in the A.I.Sumbatov-Yuzhin's Memorial Apartment, and Lyubov plays the role of Liza in The Queen of Spades.

The program of the actors' performances on June 9 included: the poems The Prophet and The Portrait, excerpts from the poems The Bronze Horseman, Count Nulin, the novel The Queen of Spades.

Stanislav Soshnikov, before reading Nulin, noted that it «is particularly unusual to read a poem in the interiors of the Ivanovskoye estate, because the events described in it also take place a nobleman’s estate, but, of course, not as big as this one».

The opening of the exhibition was held in the fireplace room. The estate "Ivanovo" is famous for its owner of the late 18th - early 19th century - the beautiful Agrafena Feodorovna Zakrevskaya, to whom Vyazemsky, Baratynsky and, of course, Alexander Sergeevich devoted verses. Pushkin wrote about her in the poem The Portrait:

And, passing by all world’s conditions,
She speeds till her strengths will be ended…
Just like a comet, injudicious,
Amidst the planets, calculated.

The exhibition of Nadya Rusheva will run until September 3, 2019.
