In the Great Moscow Circus held an open rehearsal

Open rehearsal with the tigers. In the Great Moscow Circus, you can see how trainers teach predators to perform commands, riders practice jigitovka, and air gymnasts grind complex tricks. In some rooms even spectators participate! Olga Enina will continue. No costumes or scenery. Obligatory insurance, details about the creation of each room. The open rehearsal in the Great Moscow Circus is the maximum immersion in preparation, the opportunity to get behind the scenes without leaving the auditorium. Our father Walter Zapashny did it in the Soviet Union. My brother and I decided to try it out in 19 as an experiment. And I saw a lot of advantages here. First of all, it is an acquaintance of the viewer with the work of artists, says the General Director of the Great Moscow Circus, People’s Artist of Russia Edgard Zapashny. “When the viewer sees how a new young animal is really being prepared, how a trick is being prepared that does not yet work, how we reach the finish line, preparing one or another specific number,” says the artistic director of the Bolshoi Moscow Circus, People’s Artist of Russia Askold Zapashny. To see amazing results achieved. And to appreciate how difficult it is. Adult viewers are given the opportunity to express themselves. Feel yourself a jigit on a horse, see the work of acrobats on the track and tightrope walkers. Find out the secrets of the artists. Every open rehearsal is not without surprises. For the first time, the audience saw all seven elephants – artists of the Great Moscow Circus. 6 of them were donated by Myanmar a month ago. “The first thing is always hard, because you never know how it will turn out. But there is interest in this format, said the artistic director of the Great Moscow Circus, People’s Artist of Russia Askold Zapashny. One of the most anticipated at each rehearsal is the training of tigers and lions. In these open rehearsals, however, as in all performances of the Bolshoi Moscow Circus, in the hall sold out. “We have become the flagship of such a movement. Now the company "Rosgoszirk" in all its branches introduces a similar practice. And, of course, I am glad that the audience interest in the literal sense of the word is growing, explains the General Director of the Bolshoi Moscow Circus, People’s Artist of Russia Edgar Zapashny. As the numbers show. If earlier there was one open rehearsal per year, then in 2025, in addition to the current one, there are two plans for April.
