Dear friends,

On February 19 the Leo Tolstoy Museum hosted an evening dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the first production of Leo Tolstoy's play «The Power of Darkness» and the 10th anniversary of the performance on the stage of the Maly Theatre. People's Artist of the USSR Yuri Solomin, People's Artists of Russia Irina Muravyova and Vladimir Nosik and the actor of the Maly Theatre Aleksey Faddeev were among the special guests of the evening. Today we would like to share with you a video report of the event.

On February 19 Yuri Solomin together with the Maly Theatre’s artists Irina Muravyova, Aleksey Faddeev and Inna Ivanova will visit Leo Tolstoy State Museum. The house of the great writer will host a special evening dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the first production of Leo Tolstoy's play «The Power of Darkness» and the 10th anniversary of the play staged at the Maly Theatre.

Tolstoy’s play has quite an interesting stage story. After all, its premieres were not held in Russia, but abroad - in Paris and Berlin. At home the premiere had been postponed for censorhip reasons, and for the first time the play was staged in St. Petersburg.

In the Maly Theatre, the «The Power of Darkness» was staged three times, for the first time - in 1895, as a benefit performance of Nadezhda Nikulina, who played Anisya. In 1956 Boris Ravensky directed the legendary performance. Back then the scenography of Boris Volkov was compared to the paintings of Venetsianov.

10 years ago, in 2007, Yuri Solomin decided to revive «The Power of Darkness» on the Maly Theatre’s stage. On the occasion of the jubilee of the production, the Museum of Leo Tolstoy invited Yuri Solomin and leading actresses and actor of the play to the meeting: Irina Muravyova, Inna Ivanova and Aleksey Faddeev.

The evening will be held February 19 at 17:00 in Leo Tolstoy State Museum.

Entrance is by invitation only.

On June 16 on tour in Kursk Mikhail Fomenko first appeared as Mitrich in Leo Tolstoy’s drama « The Power of Darkness».We wish Mikhail new creative achievements!
