There has not been a summer production at the Russian Theatre for a long time. All the more reason then to come and see this passionate musical drama, which Jelena Skulskaja wrote especially for the Russian Theatre.
In 1773, on the eve of the Pugatshov rebellion, empress Katherine II had to make a choice - should she come to Revel herself or send someone else. But who? She chose count Orlov, who did not go to Revel alone, of course...
The reign of Jekaterina II is known for its aristocratic passion, bigotry, lechery, grandiose balls, pretence, hatred and love affairs. That is what inspired to write the story that never happened, as it could have been... and how it is now.
Tickets are available in the box office of the Russian Theatre, Piletilevi and Piletimaailm ticket outlets.
