Chaliapin Music Theatre completes preparation of new stage

The Chaliapin Music Theatre is taking on a new venue. The second scene will be the former Anglican Church on the Promenade des Anglais. The building has the status of a federal heritage site, but there has been no full-fledged repair here since the 70s of the XIX century. Ekaterina Gritsienko saw the results of the restoration. One and a half thousand pipes of wood and metal. Everything's in its place now. The organ of Brindley & Foster has been silent since the church was closed in 1919. It is the only surviving English organ in Russia. Once the best example of his era. It will allow viewers to hear their inner voice. “I think concerts should encourage people to get to know themselves, their own soul, their own thoughts and communicate more. Communicate with yourself, with God, says organist Aida Glukhova. The last in Russia samples of English stained glass art of the late XIX century. Each glass gently wraps around the lead circuit. Therefore, the 100-pound design was attached to wires to a metal frame. Even after the restoration, the system remained the same. But now the stained glass is illuminated from the inside. In the new concert hall, you can meet the sunset in the afternoon and immerse yourself in the world of music. Now in the walls of the Anglican Church coexist history and modernity. The panel in an oak frame on the altar wall is made in the technique of Roman mosaics. It's almost a museum space. A special temperature regime is observed here. All new designs are easy to remove or rearrange. Even gilded bronze chandeliers are lowered by pressing a button. “Washing the chandelier is extremely uncomfortable upstairs. So we provided them with electric winches with smooth lowering. It's automated, controlled, down. I think that those engineers who will maintain the room will appreciate the convenience. It will be very important for them, says Alexey Raspopov, director of production and restoration of the contractor company. There are many reasons for surprise outside the concert hall. Like the lobby. An ancient ivory-colored fireplace is buried in a fashionable dark cherry shade of walls. “The architects offered us different colors. At first, the colors were very modest: coffee, beige. Then suddenly the wine color appeared. And we say, "Come on!" Let’s give this color, we will survive! – explains the director of the St. Petersburg State Musical Theater named after F. I. Chaliapin Julia Strizhak. Now the Chaliapin Music Theatre is accepting the building. Controlled each stage of the work. This is the second scene and the second house. There's nothing small. In these rooms of the church there are no historical objects, only a tiled fireplace has been preserved. Now the rooms are equipped with modern cozy dressing rooms - the dream of every artist. Musicians from all over the world dream of playing the English organ. The theater already receives letters from performers, including European ones. Concerts on the new stage will begin in the autumn.
