«From December 23 to January 7, at the Megasport sports palace in Moscow, the premiere of Tatiana Navka's New Year's ice performance «Evenings on the Farm» based on the stories of N.V. Gogol will take place. The love story of the blacksmith Vakula for a beauty, familiar to many from childhood Oksana will turn into a real celebration on ice with dancing, songs, jokes, mysticism and bright folk color,” the message says.
It is noted that “Evenings on the Farm” is an original multimedia show on ice at the intersection of modern technologies and classical art forms.
When working on the costumes, as the report says, the artists paid special attention to the study of historical outfits, folk traditions and ornaments. The participation of live vocals in the show also contributes to the creation of a unique atmosphere. Choir artists are on stage during performances, accompanying the storyline and immersing the viewer in the world of folk songs and traditions.
The general producer, director and choreographer of the show, Tatyana Navka, noted that she had been thinking about the idea of this production for several years.
«We had time to do in-depth work and create a modern, bright and original production based on the classic work. From the Arabian fairy tale about the beautiful Scheherazade and brave Tsar Shahriyar, we are transported to the South of Russia and immersed in local history and culture. I think it is very important to show our children the diversity and richness of our traditions, to awaken interest in studying the history of the country, in classical literature! «, she emphasized.
According to Navka, the audience will become participants in winter fun and Christmas festivities from the time of Catherine II. The main characters of the fairy tale will go through all the trials with honor, proving that love, honor, valor and devotion always win in the confrontation with evil.
The main roles will be played by multiple champions of Russia, Europe and the world, Olympic champions — Tatyana Navka, Pyotr Chernyshev, Kamila Valieva, Anna Shcherbakova, Adelina Sotnikova and other figure skaters.
