Listen to the interview and decide which facts in your workbook are true, false or not stated in it.0:04
May I ask you a few questions?0:12
What would you like to know?0:15
You work in a very unusual theater in Moscow.0:17
It's the Moscow State Opera and Ballet Theatre for young audience.0:22
People also call it the Natalia Satz Theatre.0:26
Natalia Sartz is a legendary woman, isn't she?0:28
She founded our theatre in 1965 and was its director for a very long time.0:32
We can call Natalia Ilinichna the mother of children's theatres throughout the world, because hers was the first professional music theatre in the world.0:37
Altogether she organized six theatres of this kind.0:46
If I'm not mistaken, her father, Ilya Sarts, was a composer and wrote music for the Stanislavsky Moscow Art Theat.0:49
From her early childhood, Natalia grew up amongst some of the greatest Russian actors.0:59
Theater and music became her world and her lifelong love.1:04
Does your theatre show performances for children only?1:08
In fact, we have real opera and ballet performances for children, for young people and for family audiences.1:12
As you see, grown ups also come and enjoy our shows too.1:18
Sir, your theatre stages both operas and ballets?1:21
We present classical and modern operas and ballets, give symphony concerts and special educational programs for people of different ages, where we tell people about music, opera and ballet.1:27
I suppose it's correct to say that everyone can find something to their taste in your theatre.1:39
Our idea is to present to the audience the greatest opera and ballet music of different periods and to speak to children in the language of modern art.1:46
I believe it's very important to help children learn to listen to music, to feel its beauty.1:55
Music makes our lives rich and more colorful.2:01
It's absolutely true.2:04
And that's what we always remember.2:06
When I say we, I mean a big symphony orchestra of more than 100 musicians, an opera company with 75 singers and a ballet company with about 60 dancers.2:08
All of them are first class professionals.2:18
Let me wish you the best of luck and success.2:21
