Editorial Review: Product Description: Set against the backdrop of the magical White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg, SACRED STAGE features the best in Russian symphonic music, ballet and opera at Russia's premier theater--the Mariinsky, also known as the Kirov. SACRED STAGE explores and how the theater has somehow maintained its artistic excellence through war, revolution and the collapse of Communism, and what it has meant to Russian and Soviet culture. It also looks at the life and work of Maestro Valery Gergiev, artistic and theater director at the Mariinsky, and captures the excitement of his world--a world populated with artists, socialites, financiers, politicians and celebrities. Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Richard Thomas, SACRED STAGE tells the astonishing story of the Mariinsky's survival, illustrated with stunning performances from the opera and ballet, as well as candid interviews with luminaries, scholars and performers. Featuring: VALERY GERGIEV, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor; YEVGENY NIKITIN, Opera Singer; YULIA MAKHALINA, Ballet Dancer; GEORGE TSYPIN, Opera Set Designer; ELIZABETH KENDALL, Dance Critic and Scholar; and PLĂCIDO DOMINGO Customer Reviews

 Rating: - CURTAIN UP! BACK TO THE USSR? GLADLY!Ex-Waltonite Richard Thomas narrates the story of the famed Russian theater set against the backdrop of the magical White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg --- a documentary as revealing as it is riveting. This is as much the story of the survival of the space held so dear for so many decades to a nation as it is a study of the collapse of Communism and a candid look at the life and work of Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky's artistic director, a mighty, magical maestro whose life is populated with artists, politicians, financiers and socialites. The perfect recipe for those who think Soviet culture is colder than a bowl of borscht |
