Description

The best dramatic works by A. S. Pushkin

• Boris Godunov — Russia during the Time of Troubles is shown, and the character of Tsar Boris Godunov is described in detail—his life and death, crimes against citizens and the homeland.

• The Stone Guest — Don Juan, banished from Madrid by the King of Spain, secretly returns. Here he meets Dona Anna, whose husband he previously killed in a duel. Now she wears mourning and appears every day at the Commander’s grave to spend time in prayer. Don Juan is consumed by a desire to win Dona Anna’s love, and then reveal to her the name of her husband’s killer.

• Mozart and Salieri — Mozart is the Great composer. Salieri is merely a composer trying to reach Mozart’s level. Will he manage it?..

• A Feast During a Plague — In a medieval city, the plague rages. Unable to bear the horror of waiting for death any longer, a group of young people gathers for a midnight feast in the open air. In the middle of their fun, an old priest appears, uttering words of reproach and instruction in anger.
