The Prince and the Pauper
Принц и нищий
This production, based on Mark Twain's most famous historical novel, marks a new chapter in the creative journey of Teresa Durava and her team—their first foray into the traditions of national musical cultures.
In The Prince and the Pauper, medieval English and German music comes to life, performed by an orchestra on period instruments—including the doppia harp, bowed psaltery, hurdy-gurdy, crumhorn, rauschpfeife, bouzouki, bodhrán, and landsknecht drum—some of which are actual museum pieces.

Salzburg: La Traviata
This recording of Verdi’s "La Traviata" from the 2005 Salzburg Festival – the uncontested and hopelessly sold-out highlight of the festival season – captures the triumphal performance not only of Anna Netrebko as Violetta Valéry, but also of Rolando Villazón as her lover Alfredo.
