On November 1 Arēna Rīga will host the national premiere of Vladimir Bogatoff’s rock opera Turaida Rose, which will be staged by Amber Way Studio – this is her second author’s project (the first was the youth musical BLACK X WHITE, which also premiered at Arēna Rīga on March 2 this year and a short the announcement can be viewed at the link

The libretto of the opera is based on the national legend of the beautiful girl Maya from Turaida, who was nicknamed the Turaida Rose for her beauty and kindness. The role of Maya will be performed by the prima of the Latvian Opera and Ballet Theatre Marlena Keine, who previously took part in the Amber Way company project “The Best Songs of World Musicals” (some songs from musicals performed by her can be viewed at the links

The composition of the creative troupe will be international and will include famous performers from both the field of opera and other musical genres, accompanied by the JP Magic Orchestra under the direction of conductor Guntars Bernats, complemented by the trio of cellists Melo-M. The production of the rock opera will be very original and the audience will be able to enjoy not only the gorgeous voices of the performers, but also plunge into the atmosphere of medieval Sigulda due to the huge ice screens. Choreography, a variety of musical instruments, including an organ, choral accompaniment and powerful voices of vocalists, the melody of the songs and the deep meaning of the poetic content – all this should create an unforgettable impression on the audience!
