“Yevhen Stankovych belongs to the constellation of the most famous Ukrainian composers of the world level, who will turn 80 this year. During the long journey of writing the opera, many iconic figures of Ukrainian culture joined this idea, in particular Stefan Turchak and Yuriy Ilyenko. The premiere was originally planned for the 200th anniversary of Gogol’s birth at the National Opera of Ukraine (2007), but the author continued to work on the score for a long time. At the initiative of the Lviv National Opera, the premiere of this opera will take place in Lviv in November 2022, “says ZN.UA artistic director of the Lviv National Opera, People's Artist of Ukraine Vasyl Vovkun.
The libretto was created by E. Stankovich himself based on the novel of the same name by M. Gogol, which reveals the events of the Cossack era.
The Lviv Opera says that one of the best interpreters of Stankovych's work, People's Artist of Ukraine, artistic director and chief conductor of the National Honored Academic Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine Volodymyr Sirenko has been invited as a conductor-producer.
The international production team includes well-known German director Andreas Weirich and set designer Anna Shetl, who collaborate primarily with the Bavarian State Opera. An example of effective cooperation with them was the successful realization in 2021 of productions of operas by Ukrainian composer Dmytro Bortnyansky “Falcon” and “Alkyd”, which received a wide international resonance.
“Such a creative combination of artists in the international production group will ensure going beyond the purely traditional interpretation of the plot and characters and will promote the interpenetration of different creative worldviews, harmonious combination of Ukrainian tradition and European innovation,” says Vasyl Vovkun.
According to the artistic director of the Lviv Opera, “it is in such dramatic wartime times as now that Ukrainian culture and its best representatives (at the level of Yevhen Stankovych) unite and unite the Ukrainian nation in a period of dramatic historical trials.”
