Thanks Baroness Catherine von Waldeck Gechmen musical in Russia took place as a genre. Well, when Catherine was widely known as a producer of a number of competitors in the competitions "Five Stars" and "New Wave", it is interesting to ask her about the relationship with the music. - How long have you been producing activities? - My first project was the musical "Metro" in 1998. I was not yet thirty. I just came back to Russia. Approaching the new millennium, and I really wanted to do a project at the turn of the century - to show that the generation that will affect the fate of the country in the XXI century - those who was 15 years old - 16 years . I wanted them a call, to show the possibility of going on stage that young people full of creative energy, passion and desire to change anything. This idea nobody took seriously. Even the great poet Yevgeny Ryashentsev (lyricist of popular songs, including "Time, time, joy ..."), which in love with my idea who whine all the time, "Katya, is a pleasure to work with you but none of these will not work "And Dunajewski said:"...? woman, this idea is doomed to failure You can not take a musical in the country where you can see the artist "The only people who have supported me were my husband and brother. By my calculations, the budget of the project was to 800 thousand U.S. dollars (put out as a result - 1 million 800 thousand) to make. Then this amount seemed excessive. People looked at me like I was crazy. I am well aware that there are unforeseen costs (on this occasion I have one of their apartments in Moscow sold), but the sponsor will not be considered. I started the project with his own money. The word "musical" at this time was the worst abuse. Genre fell into disrepute - all thought this diversity ... bare feet, socks, feathers I announced the first all-Russian casting in the history of the country - have come, all those who wanted to be on the road. Radio and TV sounded invitation to audition every play in the first total musical project. The casting in operetta come 4000 people. The musical was occupied only two well-known artists who are playing themselves - they were singers and Serebryakov. Gosha Kutsenko, whose stellar career began with "Metro", played an important assistant director. Then there was Philip - he got to play, he was ill and came to us. I said we can not afford it. "I'll play for free, - said Philip -. Because for me, than the Olympics - that we can not participate." What happens after the first night, it was not so much a cultural event as a socio-political. On the stage was set up and published temperament generation. Audience identify with the characters musically. Kirkorov said: "It's about me." Naina Yeltsin came to me and said, ". Thanks, I looked into the eyes of another grandson" Grandmother looked grandson, mother - the children recognized the children themselves That was a big breakthrough. Not only that, it was the first time we have shown that to sing live on stage. Before that, all put up with sound, thought otherwise impossible. Rybnikov sat in the hall and said, "I do not think it was a great soundtrack this way, people are not singing children can not sing like that, without the formation of two hours..." We had a fantastic choir. Our heroine won the "Slavic Bazaar" in the same year. While working on "underground" was the happiest in the life of our team. The guys who play now in "Romeo and Juliet" and are lucky enough to begin his career in the "Metro" share my opinion. Feel the team, the family has an atmosphere to create in any other performances. If there is a sense of common cause, all constructed differently. The facility, which was to create a "Metro" managed. All our children - and not just singers and talented people, they are super personality. To open all the best in people because of it. A collective that can accumulate positive energy We had a fantastic time in "Romeo and Juliet". Until the last minute we could not decide who to play the main role. Who at the time of the premiere run better on the results, and he leads. Juliet ... has been determined, and Romeo, we could not choose because both guys were equally good. The decision took three hours before the performance. And Andrew Aleksadrin our Romeo, who came to the "New Wave" in order to support their colleagues (in the competition "Five stars in Sochi," he received the Audience Award at the results of sms-voting) came to us before the show and said: "Let it play Edward If I do something wrong, I never thought that I could not forgive.". Tsiskaridze, who was present, said that they had never seen before - in the theater does not happen. Then there was the "Notre Dame" ... We played for two consecutive months, and tickets can not be purchased. He broke all records for popularity. It was fun to watch as the stars of "Metro" punched in "Notre Dame". And so many are not taken. In the "Notre Dame" has about 20 percent of the artist group 'Metro', a lot of dancers (they had a great training), but got the singer, not all. Had to fight for Makarska Anton - the French would not take. And I know his ways, even went to Paris, spoke to the producer, under my responsibility to get it. I knew it to be the best, but he needs time. And it really was the best. I always hear all by itself. If only I can see some potential, although they do not let go of the man. Pavel Maksimov he studied at this time at the Institute of Physical Education for the teacher. He has to know a girl-acrobat. She invited him to "Notre Dame" (it was busy, acrobats) and Pasha began to study singing sick theater. Three years later he came to the casting of "Romeo and Juliet" and won the role of Tybalt. Brilliantly played. Musical "Romeo and Juliet" took over with dignity. This is now the most successful show, is more than a year. It was Tsiskaridze going back in the scene. For two weeks before returning to the Great spent his first night in "Romeo and Juliet". He plays Death-Destiny. The French have it treated as a death, Kolya - it's destiny. This is a fantastic acting job. Not a ballet and a very complex plastic contemporary dance. But coal is a great artist. He gave the game a completely different sound. Almost an entire generation of Russian stars are coming out of the "Metro" and "Notre Dame." Nastya Stotskaya began in "Notre-Dame" Light Svetikova - in the "Metro", Makarska - in the "Metro", Mike Pasha, the hero of the "Brigade", Gosha Kutsenko - in "Metro". Miguel with "American Idol" ... All of them were at the time of 15 to 17 years. - You decide what musical phrase? - Of course. In Russia, the role of producer organizations is much higher than in the West. From the producer to the success or failure of the production - and not only on the type of statement he chooses, but also how it will be moved to the stage. I believe that a simple transfer of even the most successful foreign production in Russia is pointless. There is no guarantee that the professionals who come from abroad, you are a brilliant, high-quality performance. That depends on the producers to find the right tone of the conversation with the audience. If this was an event, then yes, but if you are just bad, you lose. Prodyuserstvo - a kind of shamanism. As a professional person, the closer he sees. RealProducer musical simply not go wrong in choosing the sentence, even in the way it should be. And all the accomplices of the process should be put in a position where they can do just this product and no other. Theater - allowance for the soul - how such a love for music? - I come from a musical family, my acting training. My great-grandfather was the founder of Tbilisi Conservatory in Tsarist times. Several generations of my ancestors were famous musicians, my grandfather - one of the most famous cellist of the Bolshoi Theatre. One of his tools - Amati cello work - now in the State of collection stored. My grandmother was a singer, singing American jazz. I grew up in a musical environment, and I love the theater. I am about to interested theater today. Western technology with Russian theater tradition to give a completely different result, a degree on the stage. Thus our European ideas themselves, the authors consider the best performances. "Notre Dame" the world's best authors version was chosen. No wonder directors musical Cats come to "Romeo and Juliet" was so shocked. Behind the scenes, they said, "Guys, no one in the world with such a return is not working." Yes or no musical training, whether (I went to music school, piano class, but not finished yet - we have Russia to Czechoslovakia, where I learned to play the guitar). The theater is required to ensure that a person came and experienced catharsis. I'm interested not only to tell a story. I wonder increase each personal story to the level of the parable. So we choose scale musicals, talk of eternal: love and hate, friendship and betrayal. These are things that are interested in any, and especially today. - Why did you trade for a living? - When our family moved back to Russia, I refused to join the Komsomol. Tried to fight back. This system and the Russian school is everything I can not stand in life. Bigotry, egalitarianism, lack of attention to the individual. I never liked going to order. If the data is very leadership resisted the pressure. And my father has always said that the restructuring started for me if it were not so, I would have been in serious trouble. GITIS was the only institution where the tours were first, and then realized Komsomolets you or not - you can slip through. It was the only profession that made it possible to remain in the labor market freely. Then there was an article for parasitism. But perestroika began, I was shooting abroad. Actresses, perfect mastery of foreign languages, almost was not. On the set of a French film, I met my husband ... But I am always treated with great distance to the profession, particularly in Russia. It can not be taken seriously. This is only a theater and a delight to the senses. This is the best training they could get at the time for the general development - theater, art, history of foreign and Russian theater - a great education. - After the wedding, you left a career in acting ... - Yes, it was your own choice. Also sits on the casting and overlooking the waves of artists, I always think what a blessing that I do not need to do it. Every person in life comes a time when it no longer be an instrument. Artist - is always a tool. And today I have a happy opportunity to influence the process of creating the game as a whole. I accept everything - from writing the text, to make-up artists and costume. I can influence all phases of the game. Creative people need an environment in which they can do not to create is not the way you want. Work and life are inseparable - Where is your house? - I live in the three countries - between Monte Carlo, Moscow and Salzburg. This is the perfect combination, the three extreme athletes who together perfectly. Moscow mad speed and very intense, full of life, when I had no rest. I do not quite know how to relax. I such a mechanism which is connected to a 24-hour outlet. I feel uncomfortable, I do not enjoy holidays. I am of people who say they are not angry at work on Saturday and Sunday. Among my friends and partners are none. I get a lot of pleasure, what I do. Therefore, the work and the life that I have separated. - You have the fate of Cinderella? - I am convinced that the fate of every human being develops the way he sees it. The man gets out of life, get what he wants. I do not think the story of Cinderella has to do with me, though it is a very beautiful story. But my family has always been the elite of the country in which I grew up, and my husband's family was the elite of the country in which he grew up. This marriage is not much changed my life. I grew up in the same situation as him. It is very easy to find a common language. I often joke that, in contrast to his family - a small elite of European state, my family was the elite of the country millions. My husband - a hereditary nobleman and supported me in all my projects. With large international projects with our contacts in Europe and Russia, and bring them to life. But it makes it more fun. Now he came to me in Jurmala, for the first time to support the children. He sits with me on auditions and knows what they have come for the first time. He was delighted to see how beautiful they are now on the scene. We were married 10 years. I talk about it enough, I think it was yesterday. I'm perfectly happy. I think that is formed as happy of my professional life, the great merit of my family. This is my mainstay, my principal back, I do not have many allies - only my husband and my family. - Four of your pets involved in the "New Wave - 2005". This is your idea? - I think we should allow them to take it under his name, because they are now known throughout the country as a star of musicals. Love them as Romeo, Juliet ... But the talent, the most powerful person. These contests ("Five Star", "New Wave") will provide an opportunity to see what they really are. It was my idea - to participate in the "New Wave", but it was our joint decision. "New Wave", in my opinion - not even a competition and festival. There is no fighting spirit - all the guys live together, for each other are sick, they are not in competition, but a team. They are important, not to win, but to participate. You have the semifinals without my help. It was the jury's decision, honest and professional. According to the logic, not a manufacturer two performers, but their level is such that they do not just take. It speaks to their benefit and to the benefit of the jury. Semifinal competition was fair. And I hope that. Jury members the courage to have the best in the final selection I would not be in her place - Level Singing is so high that you do not choose. - It came with Triniti and Sofie 18th July and all the time with them. Why? - Children should be set up properly, they need to feel supported and confident about themselves, have the mood of the winner - so I went along with them. Revzin brilliant collaboration with artists, explains very well, but I, like everyone else to understand as well, to explain how each of them, what the director wants. The guys from Trinitityazheleyshaya problem - they sing three, it is three times heavier. There are many nuances, for which they have no time to work - we are working on your own. I'm just a terrible perfectionist. Newspaper "Chas", Latvia.
