With his best friend Miles, the two embark on a road trip through California's wine country.

Opera

Bravissimo

The performance “Bravissimo!” is dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Novaya Opera Theatre. It is a selection of classical operatic masterpieces, representing different opera music forms: arias, duets, trios, quartets, quintets, choruses and orchestral numbers.

The protagonist of the performance is the Theatre. The scene of Part 1, which consists of Russian classical operatic numbers, is set in the Hermitage Garden in the early 20th century.

In Part 2 we leave the would-be theatrical quarters of Part 1 and “enter” the Theatre proper to listen to foreign operatic hits.This performance is an expression of our gratitude and admiration for all opera composers, to whom the Novaya Opera Theatre never stops saying “Bravissimo!”
