The world-famous musical "Romeo and Juliet" by Gerard Presgurvik can now be seen on the stage of the St. Petersburg Theatre of Musical Comedy in a production by Hungarian director Gabor Kerenyi.
How was it possible to implement such a large-scale international project in our difficult times? What distinguishes the Hungarian version of the musical, recognized by the author himself as one of the most successful? What did the incredible special effects that accompany the production throughout cost the theatre?
These and other questions were answered at a meeting with students of the St. Petersburg Humanitarian University of Trade Unions by the theatre's general director, Honored Artist of Russia Yuri Shvartsopf, as well as the performers of the main roles - Alexandra Kasparova and Nikita Braga.
Hosts - writer Oleg Solod and SPbGUP student Elizaveta Trofimova.
