Интерпретация известной сказки Г.Х. Андерсена на музыкальную тему. Crafted by Alexander Lukyan, the author of script and music, with participating artists from Novosibirsk Musical Theatre. The plot follows a cast of characters played by Kirill Bedarev (as Soldier and Executioner), Anastasia Kachalova (as Princess), Alexander Lukyan (as King, Bronze, Silver, and Golden Dogs), Anna Frokolo (as Witch), Anna Stavskaya (as Queen), Vasily Khaletsky (as French Prince), Anton Lidman (as Chinese Ambassador), Mikhail Poluboyartsev (as Persian Shah), and an ensemble choir performed by Anna Frokolo, Alexander Lukyan, Anastasia Kachalova, Anna Stavskaya. The production was broadcast on the theatrical internet-radio MUZKOM founded by Novosibirsk Musical Theatre. From what I have gathered, the show was recorded and mixed by hand and came to fruition solely due to the initiative of the writer and actors. The musical also went through only one broadcast, without the involvement of a live orchestra or any famous performers, yet it retains its charm as a contemporary radio drama piece, which is well worth listening to in the company of modern artists and authors. It is regretful that after the airing, this work has disappeared without another trace. Fortunately, I managed to make a copy and share it here with those who might find it appealing.
