A Hotel for Cinderella

In a small Russian town lived a young woman whose life, by the age of twenty, had already been marked by many hardships. She grew up without her mother, and later lost her father as well. Forced to live with a cruel stepmother and stepsister, Nadya nevertheless cherished the memory of her father and longed to fulfill their shared dream. One day, a wealthy businessman arrives at the hotel where Nadya works as a maid. But would a rich and successful young man ever notice a modest maid? A little miracle — or a few unlikely coincidences — might just make it possible. Yet even more magical twists of fate will be needed for Nadya to attend the ball… or rather, the mayor’s reception.

Love Can’t Be Divided

In Moscow, in a modest apartment, live Boris, Sonya, and their son Denis. Denis is eighteen, but he still hasn’t gotten serious about life—he spends his days strumming his guitar and writing songs.

The Gulls

Elza lives in a small town in the Republic of Kalmykia on the Caspian Sea. Another year comes to an end, it’s cold and the steppe is covered in a thin layer of snow. When her husband, who makes a living from illegal fishing, asks her one night what she did during the day, she lies. She wasn’t at her mother’s, but at the bus stop. She thought of leaving – to find out what it might be to escape the infinite expanse of her dreary small world. But she didn’t dare; instead she stays and withdraws into herself, unconcerned by who might see. One day, her husband doesn’t return from a dangerous boat trip. It is said that a fisherman only returns if he has a woman waiting for him and that seagulls are the souls of the missing. At the start of a somewhat unplanned pregnancy, widowed and alone, Elza wanders ever further through the city, plotting a path between tradition and the contemporary until she’s no longer on familiar ground.

Glinka: Ruslan and Lyudmila

The reopening show of the historical stage of the Bolshoi Theatre by Jurowski and Tcherniakov. "Ruslan and Lyudmila", opera by Mikhail Glinka, has particular relation with the Bolshoï Theater, it held more than 700 representations throughout the history and nine different productions. Logically the fable of Mikhail Glinka (from a poem of Pushkin), symbol of the Russian opera, opened the season 2011-2012 of the majestic Moscow s opera, after its long renovation. This reopening inspired the director Dmitri Tcherniakov, who signed the direction of this new production. The new devices of the Bolshoi Theatre and its two giant screens are fully exploited in a spectacular staging. Tcherniakov transposes Glinka s opera at the 21th century with contemporary ambitions because of the "modernity of the subject", trying there to put forward "the deep feelings of the characters , exposing the protagonists to very modern temptations: a "harem" for Ruslan, a Thai massage for Lyudmila.
