Diaghilev: The Art of Producing.
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow!
'Diaghilev's Russian ballet, the most advanced ballet in the world, should not linger at one stage, living only in the past and even in the present; on the contrary, it must foreshadow the future, show the way for the crowd, and discover things that have not been discovered yet by anyone.'
Serge Diaghilev
The Second International scientific-practical conference 'Diaghilev: The Art of Producing. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow!' will again become a challenging site for academic and practical communication. The site will be based on one of the oldest ballet schools in the world, which celebrates its 280th anniversary this year and which name is closely linked with rise and worldwide recognition of the Russian ballet school.
The first Diaghilev conference regarding producing took place on March 31, 2017 — at the day of Diaghilev`s 145th anniversary. Together with a "counterintuitive" concert in the Shiraev academic theatre where students of the Academy and special guests acted not only as ballet dancers, this Conference was dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the "Historical Russian concerts".
2018, the year of 110th anniversary of famous Opera seasons during which Chaliapin's appearance in Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky conquered the French, within the cultural programme of the Conference a VII concert of the international status project 'OPERA-GALA. Soloists of the world's opera houses in St. Petersburg' will be put on in the Grand Philharmonic Hall.
