The Russian National Museum of Music presented an exhibition dedicated to two Russian great musicians
On June 21, within the framework of the Russian Seasons international cultural project, the exhibition Sergei Rachmaninov – Fyodor Chaliapin: Parallels and Intersections opened at Alisher Navoi State Academic Big Theater.
The exhibition, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of two famous Russian musicians, was conceived as a story about the lives of Sergei Rachmaninov and Fyodor Chaliapin, whose lives have many parallels.
The exhibits are divided into six sections: “Destines Differ”, “The Path to Music and Theater”, “At the Imperial Bolshoi Theater”, “At the Top of Olympus”, “Family Album” and “Far from the Motherland”.
The documentary videos are complemented by quotations from the memoirs and letters of musicians, as well as from articles by music critics dedicated to the work of Sergei Rachmaninov and Fyodor Chaliapin.
The first visitors to the exhibition were Uzbek spectators who came to the concert of the Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov, who performed some arias from the repertoire of Fyodor Chaliapin.
