02 may 2022 "Carеerists" Entertains The Audiеnce At The Opera
In troubled times - not only locally but also globally, the messages of the musical by Parashkev Hadjiev "Servants of God", which will be presented on Wednesday, May 4, at 19:00 in the hall of the Burgas Opera, sound relevant. We are painfully familiar with the events in the entertaining production, the characters have an astonishingly modern look, and the ridicule of the pursuit of power by all possible means also corresponds to our time. The comedy satire "Servants of God" is based on the libretto by Bancho Banov, based on the comedy of the same name by Ivan Vazov. Grandfather Vazov is a well-known connoisseur of our people's psychology, which, alas, is unwaveringly stagnant, even in today's dynamic days. The award-winning maxim is that art is like a barometer of unflattering facts and attitudes, even just to help us realize the root causes of them ... presence, absurd situations, and sincere laughter with a sarcastic-bitter-instructive character. And the refrain: "Service, service, small, big, there is nothing better than you!" sounds as if today, completely in line with the devaluation of values ... Both funny and slightly sad findings are made during the show, and the residual feeling is the bitter taste of realized truths under the camouflage of comedic situations, revealing each of the characters in their characteristic light. The conductor of "Sluzhbogontsi" on Wednesday is the famous maestro Ivan Kozhuharov. The director of the play, which brilliantly and with surgical precision, where the blade falls on the most painful topics, reflects our time, although the action in Vazov's play takes place in the early twentieth century, is Assoc.
