Pagliacci. The Moor’s Pavane
On March 26, the Mikhailovsky Theatre is presenting a double bill — Pagliacci. The Moor’s Pavane.
The role of Nedda in the opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo Pagliacci will be performed by Anna Nechayeva.
Brilliant Farukh Ruzimatov will perform the main role in the ballet The Moor’s Pavane by José Limón set to music by Henry Purcell. His rendering the role of Moor is full of tragic doubts and deep despair. Though subtitled Variations in the theme of Othello, The Moor’s Pavane is not intended as a choreographic version of Shakespeare’s play. In the form of a Pavane and other dances of the high Renaissance, the four characters portray the tragedy of Everyman, and the ballet is, therefore, timeless in its implications.
