The new version of the opera of G. Verdi "La Traviata" will be submitted by the Krasnoyarsk state opera and ballet theatre. The production director Nadezhda Stolbova and the musical director and the conductor Dmitry Volosnikov (Moscow) work on the performance. It is performance about transformation which happens to the person who has met love. The main character of the opera – the courtesan.

Inna Spodina and Vladimir Komovich "We aren't going to do historical "La Traviata", but there is a strong wish to take atmosphere from original work, to understand and give feelings which heroes have, – Nadezhda Stolbova tells. – We don't use external attributes of the present, we want to show history which is actual at all times and eras. As well as one and a half-two centuries ago, and today people are ready to sell themselves to reach some material benefits, position in society".

Distinctive feature of new performance also that the main character in it will be different age – and it is the conscious choice of directors. In fact, depending on this or that Violetta the viewer will be able to look not one performance, but several, where some semantic accents will differ very significantly. "With young Violetta everything is clear, – Nadezhda Stolbova says. – But history with Violetta of more mature age brings this subject to the maximum, increases her degree not on hundred, and for two hundred percent. Because for such Violetta the meeting with Alfred – the last chance to fall in love and be darling".

The art director of the performance Vera Martynova, the winner of the award "Gold Mask" (2010) in the nomination "The Best Theatre Artist", the art director "Gogol center", has thought up space which has no historical definiteness, but creates the atmosphere of abandonment, abandonment and forlornness. The scene of action – the room of the half-ruined house, with walls and glass ceiling. As envisioned by authors this external neglect of once beautiful space is also reflection of internal life of Violetta. But, despite it, in her there are two qualities: thirst of life, thirst of beauty, and, on the other hand, sincere female desire to love.

"The performance will leave on the big scene, but we have consciously created the atmosphere of room space that the audience could experience more sharply the original feelings proceeding from actors, – Dmitry Volosnikov says. – In this scenic history the viewer will understand the smallest nuances, the movements, the word".

The premiere of the opera will take place on June 8, 9 and 10.
