For decades, Aleksey Parin has been asking questions regarding contemporary musical theatre, its elements, how it is designed and produced, and who its key creators are. His analysis of productions, concerts, and recordings reveals the artistic message of each event. The articles in Opera Cities were written in the last fifteen years and published in Russian, German, and Austrian publications. The book contains not only praises but also critiques and even pamphlets. Combining profound ideas and lively emotions, the book is highly appealing to readers interested in musical culture.
