Talk about Theatre Diana Andrews: I know you’re an admirer of opera. Anna. Last night I heard on the radio that the Moscow Chamber Musical Theatre' was starting its new theatrical season. I’ve never heard of this theatre. Could you tell me about it? Anna Fedorova: Though it’s existed for quite a time, most theatre-goers still call it “the new opera theatre." It was set up for the purpose of developing the genre of “smaller opera.’’2 Diana: What operas does the theatre stage? Anna: As far as I know both classical and modem. Its repertoire includes over 15 productions, operas by Mozart, Haydn, Rossini and others are among them. Diana: Did the theatre produce any operas by Russian composers? Anna: Yes, I think three or four operas were staged. The first was “The Nose” by Dmitri Shostakovich. The opera has always been a tremendous success with the public. Diana: Did you happen to see it? Anna: Yes, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Diana: I’d like to see a few operas at this theatre. Is it possible to book seats? Anna: I’d say it’s next to impossible. The theatre is small. I suppose it’s already been sold out. I’ll try to help you. A friend of mine is an actor at this theatre. I'll ask him to get seats for you. Diana: Thank you very much, h's very kind of you. The British Theatre is Dying A conversation between Alfred Leathers, an old actor, and Martin Chevcril, a playwright and producer. Alfred: Martin, my boy. I’ve been acting too long and — as the youngsters like to say — I’ve had it.’ Marlin: Nonsense, Alfred. Alfred: No, no. Mean what 1 say. In fact the Theatre’s had it. The Theatre’s finished and we might as well admit it.4 Martin: It was different when you were young, of course — eh? Alfred: Different? I should think it was. Martin: You’ve seen some great nights in the Theatre, I imagine. Alfred — eh? (It is like a prompt.) Alfred: I have, Martin. Great nights. And they’ll never come again. Don’t forget that in my time I’ve played with Irving,5 Ellen Terry6 and Tree.’ Martin: Great names. Alfred. Alfred: Ah — but the Theatre was the Theatre in those days, Martin. It was all the public had, and so we all did our best with it. None of your films and radio and television and the rest of them then. It was the Theatre — and the Theatre as it ought to be. Martin: The Theatre’s dying — though it may last out our time. Alfred: Yes. thank God. But I don’t give it much longer. Martin (smiles at him): Well, you see, Alfred, I know that speech about the dying Theatre. I’ve heard it before. Alfred: Exactly. And everything goes to prove. Martin: That you're an elderly actor, Alfred, and that the Theatre’s dying for you. It’s always been dying for the old hands. And it’s always been born again for the new ones. And that’s not its weakness — that’s its strength. It lives — really lives and not merely exists, but lives as humanity lives — just because it’s forever dying and being bom, because it’s always renewing its life. Alfred (not convinced): Now wait. It’s dying for me, we’ll say but who is it being bom for? (After “Jenny Villiers: a Story of the Theatre” by John B. Priestley) Names Mozart pmo:zo:t] Моцарт Haydn ['haidn] Гайдн Rossini [ro'si:ni] Россини Alfred Leathers j aelfrid ledaz] Альфред Летерс Martin Cheveril [ ma:tin tjrvral] Мартин Чиврил Seward (sju:ad| Сьюард Notes the Moscow Chamber | tfeimbaj Musical Theatre Московский камерный музыкальный театр smaller opera малая (камерная) опера I’ve had it.
