“The same old story”. Anna Grechishkina and Nikolay Dorozhkin

On the 24th of March on the stage of Helikon in Nikitskaya the soloists of Helikon-Opera Anna Grechishkina and Nikolay Dorozhkin presented their joint work “He and She. The same old story”. The program of the concert contained different compositions of Russian and foreign composers such as M. Glinka, M. Ippolitova-Ivanova, S. Rakhmaninov, P. Tchaikovsky, L. Beethoven, I. Brahms, R, Strauss, F. Schubert. Mikhail Egiazariyan, the concertmaster and at the same time the author of the project “The Gift of singing soul”, played A. Skryabin’s “Etude”, and Natalia Dychenko, the producer and the presenter of concert, read the lyric extracts of R. Strauss’ romances and O. Mandelstam’s poetry. The soloists’ improvisation was a success, as well as their reading the verses in Japanese.

This concert became a final performance of the project “The gift of singing soul”, and also on the stage of “Helikon in Nikitskaya”, which soon will be closed for reconstruction. All performances and concerts will be staged in Helikon in Arbat during next two years.
