Сard 4. “Theatrical Life of St. Petersburg.”
1. Why is the theatrical life in St. Petersburg rich?
2. What kind of performances do drama theatres offer to the public?
3. What other places can you recommend to visit in St. Petersburg? Why
4. What was the last performance you saw? (Where? When? What was it like?)
Sample for Question 4.
The last performance I saw was a comedy “Uncle’s Dream” at the Tovstonogov Bolshoy Drama Theatre. The theatre is one of the oldest theatres in St.Petersburg , famous for its brilliant actors such as Evgeniy Lebedev, Kirill Lavrov, Alisa Freindlikh, Oleg Basilashvili and many others. They have created a lot of true-to-life characters both on the stage and films.
The classical comedy is based on Dostoevsky’s play about attempts of an elderly woman to marry her daughter to an old rich man in order to get his money and noble title. The producer of this performance was Vladimir Ivanov. Oleg Basilashvili performed the part of an old Duke who fell in love with a young lady Zina. Alisa Freindlikh starred in the part of Madam Moskaleva. The play was full of funny scenes which were always followed by the laughter of the audience. It was a real success because when the play ended the house burst into applause. I really recommend you to see the performance.
Sample 2.
Once I went to the Opera House to see a ballet. It was one of the most beautiful ballets in the world called “Giselle.” The ballet was written by the French composer Adam. It is a story of a nice village girl Giselle and a very rich young man Albrecht. He runs away from a dull life in the palace. Nobody in the village knows about it. Albrecht falls in love with Giselle and she loves him too. The tragedy comes when a princess and her father come to the village and tell Giselle that Albrecht is going to marry the princess. Giselle goes mad. She tries to dance and dies. This is the story.
It was a tragic scene and it made a great impression on me. The music was splendid. The costumes and the scenery were wonderful. I was greatly impressed when Albrecht danced together with the spirits of the girls. The girls wore beautiful long dresses. I think the most beautiful scene was when the spirit of Giselle saved Albrecht from death and they danced together. The ballet made a great impression on me and I advise you to see it.
