Amelia Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Three Russian websites announced that Stanislavsky Theatre has been invited to London in 2014 to perform 'Mayerling' during the celebrations of Kenneth Macmillan's 85th birthday. One of those statements was made by Zelensky. http://lenta.ru/news/2013/09/10/muzstanislavsky/ http://ria.ru/culture/20130910/962185123.html#13788305121014&message=resize&relto=login&action=removeClass&value=registration#ixzz2eVait0pl The author of one of the articles wrote that ‘the widow of the British classic admired the staging of “Mayerling” during the last season so much that she readily gave them the right to produce another ballet too (“Manon”).’ http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2275863 Have I missed the announcement of these celebrations in the British press?

Jan McNulty Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Amelia, it is nothing to do with football so I would have been more surprised if it had been covered by the British Press! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mallinson Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Not sure that the 85th birthdays of dead white males are usually celebrated. I think we have to wait another 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Sorry, John Mallison, I forgot to put the words 'anniversary of'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 A definite case of coals to Newcastle, there. Must admit, I can't see much indication of a MacMillan celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Do we know when they plan to come? I tried the translation website but it only translates 100 characters and it was a bit confused. It did seem to say they were also obtaining Manon but I don't know if they're bringing that also. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Neither of those three articles gives any indication on WHEN the celebrations will take place. They only mention that there was an invitation to show 'Mayerling' and Zelensky was proud to tell about it. No one could invite them to bring 'Manon' because they don't have it in their repertoire yet. The repetiteurs are expected to come to Moscow for rehearsals in February and the performances will take place in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
