Belarusian Opera and the National Academic Opera Theatre of Belarus
"March 10, 1939 was the opening night of Eugene Tikotsky's 'Michas Padhorny' which took place in a new magnificent [modernist opera house] designed by the architect Ilya Lanhbard. June, 1940 saw the young company's triumph at the 10-day Festival of Belarusian Art in Moscow, where the singers were hailed for their roles in three Belarusian operas. Besides 'Michas Padhorny', those were 'In Palessie's Forests' by Bogatyrev and 'The Happiness Flower' by Turenkov.
Though Belarusian Opera's performances were interrupted for several months by the fascist invasion in 1942, the company began their revival in Nizhny Novgorod [Russia]. No sooner had Minsk been liberated, than Belarusian Opera got back home, to open the new season in December, 1944 with the premiere of Tikotsky's 'Alesia'.
Since the very first day of its foundation, promoting Belarusian national operas has always been the company's major concern. Collaboration with Belarusian composers brought to life such dazzling productions as 'Nadezhda Durova' by Anatoly Bogatyrev, 'The Star of Venus' and 'The New Land' by Jury Semeniaka, 'The Old Legend' by Dmitry Smolsky, 'Giordano Bruno' by Serguei Kortes, 'The Life Path' by Heinrych Vaghner, and 'The Prince of Navahradak' by Andrej Bondarenko. Vladimir Soltan's 'King Stach's Wild Hunt', Eugene Glebov's 'Master and Margarita', and Serguei Kortes's 'The Lady's Visit' are still on the repertoire list."
The only partially destroyed building of the Belarusian State Theatre of Opera and Ballet. Minsk, 1941-1944. The modernist structure survived major damage due to the fact that it was situated in a park on a riverbank hillside.
