OREANDA-NEWS. November 25, 2011. The Deutsche Bank Foundation is sponsoring a staging of Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” in Vladivostok, Russia.

The production, which is being carried out under the auspices of the Stuttgart Opera, was premiered on October 28, 2011, where professional German opera singers shared the stage with Russian peers, as well as with young up-and-coming artists. The production will also be staged at the Opera House in Yakutsk, Russia, in April 2012.

Through its support of this musical theatre project, Deutsche Bank Foundation looks to promote and provide a platform for young talent. The project also aims to support the cultural interchange between Germany and the eastern parts of Russia.

“The Marriage of Figaro” is the second theatre production that Deutsche Bank Foundation is supporting since the launch of the opera project in 2009. Back then, the first production, Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”, marked the first performance in the opera in Vladivostok for decades.
