The stage of the Moscow Operetta Theater will have grandiose scenery-transformers, which will turn the space into a ballroom, then to the Castle of If, then to the sails of an entire armada of smugglers’ ships. The stage costumes of actors and ballet dancers combine the spirit of Alexander Dumas and modern chic of "haute couture". The image of the 19th century attires is complemented with a great many spectacular accessories: bracelets, belts, scarves, ornaments, gloves and masks. In makeup and wigs, the stage designers managed to avoid the signs of hypertheatricality and old-fashionedness, having taken care of appropriate colors, volumes and interesting textures, and caught the general, very modern mood of the stage production.
The musical will feature famous and favourite actors and singers Valeria Lanskaya, Igor Balalaev, Dmitry Ermak, Lika Rulla, Alexander Marakulin, Andrei Belyavsky, and others.
Every month, the musical “Monte Cristo” will be performed at the Moscow Operetta Theater, on the same stage that keeps on hosting the popular musical “Anna Karenina”.
