It is not the first time that the Choir of boys and youths of the KSML named after M.V. Lysenko participates in musical projects at professional venues in Kyiv together with experienced singers and actors.
On November 24-27, 2022, the National Operetta of Ukraine hosted the premiere productions of the musical and visual performance “The Ball” with the participation of singers of the Boys and Youths Choir of the KSML named after M.V. Lysenko. Two students – Sviatoslav Klopynskyi and Ivan Koval (teachers – Alla Rodina, Maria Koval, Natalia Behma) took part in this project.
“The Ball” is a Ukrainian-Italian production, the preparation for which lasted nine long months of war, and despite all the difficulties, the audience was able to enjoy this premiere of the National Operetta of Ukraine.
For a long time, the fate of this performance was uncertain, because its premiere was scheduled for February 25, 2022 and, for obvious reasons, did not take place. Unfortunately, the full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine caused painful losses to the team, because the ballet dancer Vadym Khlupiantsev, involved in this performance, died defending Ukraine. The theater team dedicated the first premiere performance to its hero – Vadym, proving to everyone the unity and indomitability of the Ukrainian spirit.
This colorful, emotionally rich and energetic performance was also attended by the Ambassador of Italy to Ukraine, Pier Francesco Zazo, because this project was implemented with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Kyiv and the Italian Embassy in Ukraine.
