The Canterville Ghost. 6+ Automatic translate

A fairy tale with an orchestra for children and adults.

The premiere was timed to the anniversary of one of the most talented, mysterious and controversial writers of the nineteenth century - Oscar Wilde, whose tales, touching and refined, sad and funny, are equally loved by children and adults all over the world. The plot of the tale is known to many. For several centuries, the Canterville castle has been known as a place over which the family curse weighs: a real ghost lives in its walls, which makes the life of the inhabitants of the castle simply unbearable.

And finally, changing the mass of owners, the castle becomes the property of a family of American nouveau riche, who decided to settle in England. They do not believe in ghosts, considering the fact of their existence a stupid fiction. Soon, however, the new owners of the castle will have to make sure that Sir Simon, the guardian of Canterville, still exists. But instead of the trembling horror that ordinary mortals from ghost encounters should experience, pragmatic Americans begin to hunt for him…

The tale is accompanied by 24 preludes by D. D. Shostakovich (Op. 34) and excerpts from the ballet Creation of the World by A. Petrov. The version of these works for the string orchestra was written by the Honored Artist of Russia Grigory Korchmar.
