Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s The Passenger is an opera with an incredibly hard, warped and, finally, obviously fortunate life. This opera is about the Auschwitz, about the people who were cogs in the merciless factory of death, about crime and punishment which have no term of limitation. Weinberg’s The Passenger ranges among the main art works dedicated to this theme: from Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter to Jonathan Littell’s Les Bienveillantes. And it is one of the best of its kind.
The Moscow premiere of the opera took place on 27 January 2017 at Novaya Opera. The date was chosen on purpose. January 27 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day in 1945 the Auschwitz concentration and death camp was liberated by the Soviet Army. And now it is safe to say that the premiere of The Passenger has been an event not only in the cultural but also in the public and international life of our capital.
The Passenger has gathered a stellar team of producers and performers. The stage director of the production is TV director Sergey Shirokov, for whom it is a debut in an opera house. His directing works on TV, however, are known to almost all people in Russia. For many years Sergey Shirokov has been the director of very popular entertainment programmes on the Rossiya TV channel.
The designer is Larisa Lomakina, who is well known to the Moscow audience for her outstanding drama productions in the drama theatre, including her joint projects with the director Konstantin Bogomolov.
The costume designer is the famous Russian fashion designer Igor Chapurin. Apart from his haute coutureworks, he has at various times collaborated with leading drama and ballet theatres in Russia and abroad.
