The Yekaterinburg theatre "Ural Opera Ballet" received another operatic "Oscar".
The Ural Opera Ballet Theatre (also the Yekaterinburg State Theatre of Opera and Ballet) has received the national opera award "Onegin," the Department of Information Policy of the Sverdlovsk Region reports.
The prestigious award (informally called the opera "Oscar") was won by the Ural company for the staging of Yefrem Podgayts’s "Alice Through the Looking‑Glass." The award ceremony took place on the historic stage of the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg.
The Yekaterinburg theatre’s production was recognized as the best event for a children’s audience. Last year Ural Opera Ballet also received the "Onegin" for the children’s production "Thumbelina."
Over the ten years of the Onegin award (this year’s was an anniversary edition), Sverdlovsk theatres have won eight "opera Oscars" in total: seven by the Opera and Ballet Theatre and one by the Musical Comedy Theatre.
Most of the soloists and performers of the Opera Theatre (as well as of the Musical Comedy Theatre) are graduates of the Ural State Conservatory named after M. P. Mussorgsky, the region’s Department of Information Policy notes.
