Kazakov’s story and a chamber ensemble

The production is based on Yuri Kazakov’s Blue and Green, a story about first love. Igor Kostolevsky reads the literary text, while Yuri Bashmet and Moscow Soloists provide the musical interpretation. Marina Brusnikina directs.

The format invites you to follow both words and music: instrumental passages become part of a shared stage narrative.
