Congratulations on the “Alfa & Omega” premiere!  

On October, 21 (2021) a historical event took place at Helikon-opera - the premiere of the opera “Alfa & Omega” by G. Shohat (libretto by Dori Manor and Anna Hermann). And for the first time in Moscow opera is performed in Hebrew. The premiere took place with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Department of Culture of the city of Moscow.

International team was working on the production: head of the production Dmitry Bertman, conductor – Valery Kiryanov, set Designer – Pavel Dragunov (Kazakhstan), costume designer – Sofia Tasmagambetova (Kazakhstan), lighting Designer – Denis Enyukov, choreographer – Edvald Smirnov, video Designer – Alexander Andronov, choirmaster – Evgeny Ilyin.

The opening of the exclusive exhibition “Marc Chagall. Projection through the time” is confined to the premiere. This was made possible due to the Leonid Shaiman, Embassy of Israel, Vadim Kossinsky, Sergey Ustinov and the Israeli cultural center "Nativ". This is really priceless exposition, which presents previously not set to show exhibits from the private collections - Marc Chagall’s letters and two pieces of art “Lamb” by M.Chagall and the “Portrait of an old Jew” by Yehuda Pen (Chagall’s teacher).
