On 21 May, the performance of the Center for Theater and Cinema under the direction of Nikita Mikhalkov was presented on stage of the Alisher Navoi State Academic Big Theater.
“It is a great honor for me and our theater company to open the Festival of Russian Art and Culture Russian Seasons in Uzbekistan with our production 12, – said the Artistic director of the Center for Theater and Cinema Nikita Mikhalkov. – I won’t retell the story, I’ll just intrigue you with this: in Russia, no matter where we play, people come to see our performances not only from neighboring places, but also from the most distant regions. I asked myself: why is this happening? Perhaps people miss talking to each other sincerely, honestly and seriously. We really hope that in Tashkent the performance will find a response in the hearts of the audience.” On stage of the A. Navoi Theater a brilliant acting ensemble, including people’s Artists of Russia Nikolai Burlyaev, Sergei Stepanchenko, Honored Artist of Russia Vladimir Dolinsky, actors Gia Peradze, Igor Sergeev, Sergei Radchenko, Alexander Vedmensky, Vladimir Kochetkov, Alexander Kizhaev, Anton Romm, Evgeny Dubovsky, Pavel Ilyin, Ramiz Kyalbiev and young performers from the children’s ensemble “AMTSABZ” will perform in the play staged by the People’s Artists of Russia Nikita Mikhalkov.
