Automatic translate
On December 14, a creative farewell evening of the Honored Artist of Russia Yuri Alexandrovich Laktionov will take place in the large hall of the theater .
Of course, Voronezh residents know him, first of all, as a wonderful actor and director of our oldest drama theater. It seems that until recently they saw him in the role of Viktor Petrovich in the play “A Man Came to a Woman”, which has been played more than 230 times in 18 scenic years. Someone remembered Yuri Laktionov also in the role of Gladyshev in “The Extraordinary Adventures of Soldier Ivan Chonkin”, Lynyaev in “Wolves and Sheep”, Firs in “The Cherry Orchard”, Manager in the comedy “Crazy Night, or The Marriage of Pigden”. And how magically beautiful was in his production and design of “The Fly-Tsokotuha” and “The Russians Vaudevilles!” Dozens of performances, both in drama and in opera, were designed by Yuri Alexandrovich as a production designer.
The fame of Yuri Laktionov has long stepped over the borders of the Black Earth region. He is a member of the Union of Cinematographers, a film actor and production designer of feature films. A favorite of two famous film directors at once - Eldar Ryazanov and Svetlana Druzhinina. No wonder his 70th birthday in 2011 was celebrated in the famous Moscow cinema club Eldar.
And also Yuri Alexandrovich - poet and bard, author of several collections of poems and songs. And he is a participant in regional and all-Russian art exhibitions… In general, a rare Russian nugget!
On Sunday, December 14, Yuri Laktionov for the last time will appear on stage as an actor. In the play "Rita"
he will play the role of Attilio. And after the performance, friends and colleagues with warm parting words for a well-deserved rest will pay tribute to the human and artistic talents of our famous countryman.
Those who came to the performance will be able to appreciate the artistic talent of Yuri Laktionov. An exhibition of his paintings, prints and other artworks will be launched in the lobby.
The performance starts at 18 o’clock.
OUR CREATIVE DAYS
Today, on the eve of the New Year, creative life in the theater is very active. Three performances are being prepared for release, including the traditional New Year’s fairy tale for children. Thus, almost the entire troupe is engaged in rehearsals.
The art director of the theater, Honored Art Worker of Russia Vladimir Petrov, staged the play “Raven”. It employs 28 actors of different generations who perform the songs of B. Okudzhava, Y. Vizbor, A. Gorodnitsky, V. Vysotsky and other bards of the 1960s and 70s, in which there is a humanistic understanding of such a tragic event as the Great Patriotic War and that war does with Man. The production is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory in 2015. Its premiere will take place in January, on the eve of the liberation of Voronezh from the invaders.
The young director Nikita Rak, the author of the performances in the small hall "How I became…" and "Dance of Delhi", with a group of actors, mainly of the older generation, is working on a production of the solo for the clock with a play by the Slovak playwright Oswald Zagradnik. Staged in 1973 by Oleg Efremov at the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov, for many years she became a cult phenomenon in theatrical Moscow. It was played by the great actors of the old Moscow Art Theater - O. Androvskaya, M. Prudkin, M. Yanshin, A. Gribov, V. Abdulov, B. Petker.
People’s Artist of Russia Valery Potanin, together with his long-time assistant Elena Rabotkina, puts on “The Seven Secrets of the New Year’s Planet” - a fabulous magical musical performance for children from 4 years old. His Voronezh kids and guests of Voronezh will be able to visit December 28-30 and January 2-11.
So the creative life continues actively.
