NORD-OST: Final Performances
April 15, 2003
The NORD-OST musical is leaving the Moscow stage. The last performance is set for May 10th, 2003. Since that day NORD-OST will cease to exist as a unique phenomenon in the Russian culture – the first daily-running musical in Russia.
This project combined things which seemed incompatible: creative drive and sober economic estimate, dream and reality, past and present. The doubtless success of the first NORD-OST season is confirmed by the figures: 320 performances were given during the year with over 300 thousand spectators having attended these performances.
This brilliant happy life was ruined by the act of terror on October 23-26, 2002. Not only it tragically resulted in innocent victims and broken lives of the hostages but also in the public’s low spirits and fear. We were aware: what attitude our compatriots will take to the country and personally to themselves depended on the way NORD-OST would build its future. We felt that it was our duty to revive the performance as good should be stronger than evil not only on stage but in life too.
