Play "Marriage" by Mayakovsky Theater in Germany

A magnificent performance of Nikolai Gogol's famous comedy "Marriage" in Germany! Moscow Mayakovsky Theater for the first time in Germany with the famous play "Marriage". The production involves the most popular Russian stars of theater and cinema: Galina Belyaeva, Svetlana Nemolyaeva, Mikhail Filippov and others. This is a brilliant comedy, full of subtle humor, bright musical numbers and lyricism.

"Marriage" entered the repertoire of the Mayakovsky Theater in 2002. The production so appealed to the public that tickets for it sold out instantly. The critics also loved the play: they called it a lovely Gogolian dream. And this is indeed true: the restrained scenery created by the great Oleg Sheinis is combined with bright pop numbers and choral songs of girls and boys. There are also mystical elements in the play: for example, the mirrors in which the grooms are shown. The familiar Gogol story is effectively complemented by marvelous songs performed by young actors of the theater. All this, coupled with skillful direction and excellent acting, gives birth to an action on stage that captivates from the first minutes.

Six grooms of old age are wooing a merchant's daughter. Worn out by life, the contenders for the hand and heart of the merchant's daughter have decided to find family happiness in their old age. Of course, an important role is played by the impressive dowry of the bride. Most of all the bride liked Mr. Podkolesin. Mr. Podkolesin's matchmaker, Kochkarev, tries to marry his ridiculous companion throughout the entire act, resorting to tricks and deceptions. By the end of the first act an idyll is reached: it seems that now everyone will marry each other, and now Mendelssohn's march sounds clearly. Happiness is so close, so possible.... It seems that nothing can interfere with happiness. The happy bride in a wedding dress is ready to walk down the aisle with her chosen one. But where is the groom himself?! He escaped right from under the crown, jumping out the window.....

The play "Marriage", shining with a bright cast, will bring you a lot of positive emotions. Do not miss a unique chance to see one of the most talented productions of the Mayakovsky Theater!
