Pagliacci

Farcial play opera with one with one interval
Music : Ruggero Leoncavallo

Libretto : Ruggero Leoncavallo

Production by the Peoples Artist of Russia Yuriy Alexandrov

All the world's a stage…

It is only in the Theatre that physical sufferings of the Actor retreat at the spiritual ecstasy reviving as Phoenix rising from the ashes and stretching its wings over thousands of exultant eyes.

In the Theatre the Actor living through dozens, hundreds of lives becomes a voluntary donor directing his efforts and donating his spiritual powers his real life cannot compensate for…  

Only the Theatre killing with its emptiness of the dull days can reveal a miracle and become a flaring altar the exultant Actor will put his divine Talent and immortal Soul.

And finally it is only in the Theatre that wealth, fame, awards mean nothing and only death reveals the real face of the Actor, lone and helpless…

And all the men and women merely players, William Shakespeare
