Five O’Henry Tales
Solo performance by Anna Yakovleva on the 155th anniversary of the writer.

In just 10 years of his literary work, O` Henry wrote more than three hundred stories, combining them into books: “Kings and Cabbage” (1904), “Four Million” (1906), “Burning Lamp” and “Heart of the West” (1907), “The Voice of the City” and “The Noble Rogue” (1908), “The Paths of Fate” and “Favorites” (1909), etc.

A distinctive feature of O’Henry’s short stories is an entertaining plot with an unexpected ending, his characters speak a living language, the author often uses local words and sayings. Following the requirements of naturalness, accessibility and brevity, which was expressed by Edgar Allan Poe, O’Henry creates stories with amazing power of influence, and although his characters are often ordinary people, the reader always sympathizes with them and remembers them for a long time. Directors and artists love O`Henry for vivid lively images, for the clear portrayal of portraits, for the unpredictability of interchanges.

The program includes music by Gershwin, Bach, Tarrega, Vinnitsky, Koshkin performed by Mikhail Radyukevich (guitar).

Beginning at 19 hours
