Russian choreographer Oleg Gabyshev: every time I am surprised by the cleanliness and neatness of Minsk

On the stage of the Belarusian State Academic Musical Theatre, on November 15, the tour of the I.M. Yaushev State Opera and Ballet Theatre of the Republic of Mordovia ended. Today, the audience saw a brilliant evening of one-act ballets “Egyptian Nights” by Anton Arensky (the audience saw the libretto and choreography of Mikhail Fokin in the editorial office of Honored Artist of Russia Oleg Gabyshev) and “Gifts of the Magi” by modern Russian composer Kuzma Bodrov. Here Gabyshev acted as a choreographer-director, reports sb.by.

In August of this year, Gabyshev, winner of the prestigious professional awards “Golden Mask” and “Golden Sofit”, laureate of the International Moscow Ballet Competition and Choreographers named after Yuri Grigorovich, headed the ballet troupe of the theater.

Prior to that, Oleg toured around the world, including in Minsk as part of the troupe of the St. Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theatre Boris Eifman:

- In Minsk, we visited the theater about 7-8 times, and each time we received a wonderful reception. The theater has already formed its own audience. My partner Lyubov Andreeva comes from Minsk. Even I was invited to my wedding, so for me this city is pleasant and familiar. I am always amazed at its cleanliness and cleanliness.

Oleg Gabyshev hopes that the Belarusian public will accept him now and in a new capacity:

- Everyone knows me as a performer from Eifman performances, and now they recognize me in a new capacity as a choreographer.

Judging by the warm reception of the audience, it happened: a powerful final chord of magnificent tours succeeded.
