Оперный клуб TheatreHD в Кинозале ГУМ. Эрмиона. Премьерный показ с Наталией Сурниной
On January 16 at 7:00 PM, the GUM Cinema and the TheatreHD project will present the premiere of Gioachino Rossini's opera "Ermione" with a star-studded cast: Juan Diego Flórez, Enea Scala, and Anastasia Bartoli.
The screening will be presented by Natalia Surnina, a musicologist and the press secretary of the Moscow State Academic Philharmonic.

The revival of the rarely performed opera "Ermione" became the most anticipated novelty of the 2024 Rossini Festival in Pesaro, successfully brought to life by director Johannes Erath. The plot from the ancient Greek epic of the Trojan War unfolds among neon sets, while the characters' costumes in punk and neo-romantic styles are reminiscent of 80s pop videos.
The performers, as well as the Italian Radio Orchestra conducted by Michele Mariotti, are flawless: the narcissistic Pyrrhus (Enea Scala), the rejected beloved Ermione (Anastasia Bartoli), and the elegant, musically intelligent Orestes (Juan Diego Flórez) are in the grip of passion, they make and break promises, manipulate and intimidate each other. True passion and life as it is!
Natalia Surnina will tell the audience about the features of this Rossinian opera and why Johannes Erath's production made such a strong impression on the demanding audience of the Pesaro Festival.
