Showings of the play Cyrano de Bergerac have been canceled at the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. This was reported on the website of the theater.
The release says that the productions scheduled for April 23 and May 24 will be replaced by other performances — «The Crow» and «Marriage». The reason for this is unknown. The 78.ru edition reports that earlier one of the viewers turned to the police, seeing signs of “discrediting” the army in the production of “Cyrano de Bergerac”. The press service of the Alexandria Rotunda Theater said that the reason for the replacement was “technical problems with the props.”
What exactly caused the dissatisfaction of the viewer who wrote the denunciation to the police is unknown. The play «Cyrano de Bergerac» tells about the life of a French philosopher and playwright of the 17th century, who challenges those around him to a duel for mocking his nose.
