Nesvizh hosts Bolshoi Theater Nights at the Radziwills’ Castle

Nesvizh opens an annual festival, Bolshoi Theater Nights at the Radziwills’ Castle. The festival, in its fifth year, will feature a varied program of entertainment. It will be opened by the string quintet Serenada: Melodies of Love at the Theater Hall of the castle featuring opera singer Tatiata Tretyak. One of the most popular stories about love and freedom, Georges Bizet’s Carmen, will be staged at the Radziwills’ Castle inner courtyard. Once the festival is over in Nesvizh, Carmen will be taken out of the theater’s repertoire at least for year in order to get a new production. The chorus artists and opera soloists will perform pieces by Stanislaw Moniuszko at the Nesvizh Corpus Christi Church to mark the 195th birthday of the outstanding composer. The charity concert will take place on 21 June. 

The same day amateurs of choreography will see the theater’s premiere Ballet Night: From the 19th Century to the 21st Century. On the final day of the festival opera lovers will enjoy Antonio Salieri’s masterpiece Prima la Musica e Poi le Parole (First the music and then the words).
