Ida Galich, Elena Pinskaya-Vakulenko and others at the star-studded premiere of “Turandot” in Moscow 03/27/2023, 7:00 p.m.

The other day, the premiere of Andrey Prikotenko’s play “Turandot” was held at the Theater on Bronnaya, for which many star guests put aside all their affairs. Ida Galich, Elena Krygina, Yevgeny Mironov, Aurora, Leonid Yarmolnik and his wife, Elena Pinskaya-Vakulenko and other representatives of secular Moscow watched the futuristically redesigned production from the auditorium that evening.

Andrey Prikotenko, the owner of the Golden Mask, took Carlo Gozzi’s brilliant plot as a basis, but completely reworked the original text of the famous fable. “Turandot” tells about a man’s journey to a woman’s heart, as well as the unusual circumstances under which this journey is made.

“The performance combines the worldview of my generation and the generation of young artists involved in Turandot. Hence the atmosphere of isolation and the image of the bunker. At the same time, it is a production about the desire to love, to live and to be free. These connections and questions for me in this performance are about most interesting.”– this is how director Andrey Prikotenko describes his new production.
