Few people can explain the actions of a woman, especially if she is endowed with supreme power, for no one knows what serves the real reason her actions - state need or female jealousy.
The play "Royal Hunt" based on the play by Leonid Zorin ("Pokrovsky Gates", "Warsaw Melody") is based on real historical events.
Empress Catherine II sends Count Alexei Orlov to Venice to seduce and bring to Russia an impostor who claims to the Russian throne - Elizabeth. However, between young people there is real passion, and Alexey has to choose between true feeling and duty to the sovereign.
For Alexei Orlov (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), this is the arrangement of pieces on the chessboard of life: on one half, Catherine II (Maria Aronova) is a tough, resolute, true personification of a powerful woman, and on the other, tender, fragile and touching Elizabeth (Anna Dubrovskaya).
Count Orlov Vladimir Vdovichenkov - courageous, strong, brave, REAL - an image so rarely seen in life today is beautifully embodied by him on stage.
A big surprise awaits fans of Maria Aronova: those who are used to seeing their favorite actress in comedy roles will be able to appreciate her unique dramatic talent.
The duration of the performance is 3 hours and 15 minutes.

"Enough!" - said Mikhail Ulyanov at the opening of this season at the Vakhtangov Theatre. The harsh words of the leader referred to what Vakhtangovskoe cherished most of all - to the so-called "Vakhtangov tradition", with its fantastic realism, game elements and all sorts of Turandots. Ulyanov, on the other hand, said that the theater, hiding behind these mythical terms, has been dying for a long time, and therefore, they say, it's time to leave high words and start working normally. The theater began.
By the will of the repertoire plan, the first work after the program statement was "Royal Hunt" - according to thundering in Soviet times play by Leonid Zorin about the impostor Elizaveta Tarakanova, who, at the behest of Catherine II, was seduced and then imprisoned in Petropavlovka by Count Orlov. The performance by Vladimir Ivanov, more of a teacher at the Shchukin school than a director, turned out to be traditional. Not in the sense that Ivanov, contrary to the order of the artistic director, follows the Vakhtangov tradition, not at all. Everything that happens in this performance: the empress in full dress, standing on the proscenium, speaks about the benefits of the fatherland; counts in beaver collars lament the transience of royal goodwill, marchionesses in wigs and frills lavish compliments, a harpsichord sounds, a muslin sways - all this could happen in exactly the same form (and most often happened) in any performance of the Russian theater in the last two hundred years its existence, if the performance had any bearing on the lives of royalty.
"Hunting" by Vladimir Ivanov is full of all conceivable platitudes - from hands raised to the sky (this is if you need to portray despair) to a whisper amplified by a microphone (this is when love). And you sit and see nothing but these platitudes, and wait for it all to end, until the main ones appear on the stage. characters: Maria Aronova - Catherine II and Anna Dubrovskaya - Elizabeth, - and at this moment you stop noticing all the clichés that were callous to the eye. Both actresses, following the director's simple instructions, play in such a way that you feel not only the slightest shades of the mood of their heroines, not only their unspoken impulses, but everything that happens around you begins to feel almost physically. The atmosphere on the sidelines Winter Palace, spring in Italy, pitching on a Russian ship moored off the Italian coast, the heavy spirit of casemates Peter and Paul Fortress. All the torment, tears, remorse and longing that embraces Alexei Orlov (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), while the simple song "I can neither cry nor laugh" sounds in the background. Such powerful acting, such credibility of feelings - such that the heart begins to tingle - have not been in the theater in general and in Vakhtangov in particular for a long time. With just a movement of their eyes, with a wave of their hands, Aronova and Dubrovskaya communicate many important things that a more skilled director could put into this performance, and the fact that the fate of anyone, whether you are a serf or a vice-chancellor, is not worth a penny in the fatherland, and the fact that the meaning of life sought by everyone is, apparently, in love, and much more, in no way manifested in the director's intention. And, besides, all these movements and swings indicate that with such actresses - the best in Moscow - the Vakhtangov Theater has a future. Whatever Mikhail Ulyanov imagined it to be.

Review of "Afisha":
The large royal throne, located in the center of the stage, seems to fall into two parts: an impostor has ventured to encroach on the place of the legitimate empress. And even though the strength of the rivals is clearly not equal in the Vakhtangov performance, any danger does not pass by the watchful eye of the smart and strong mistress of the Russian throne. That is why there is a hunt - a hunt for power and for those who claim this power. Deftly and cunningly setting the network, Empress Catherine the Great performed by Maria Aronova - central figure performance. How much is mixed in this firm ruler and passionate woman! Will and prudence, funny malice and regal coldness, but at the same time - hidden tenderness and desperate jealousy, female coquetry and charming cunning. The actress, who brilliantly owns comedic colors, in this role rises to tragic heights. The anxiety and pain of the empress for Russia is as sincere as the outbursts of her female anger and fear of defeat in love rivalry are genuine. True, Elizabeth (Anna Dubrovskaya), who claims to be Catherine on the royal throne and in the heart of her favorite, in this case can hardly be dangerous for her. A coquettishly languid and slightly capricious half-woman, half-child, Liza, although full of ambitious hopes, is still too naive and pure to enter into such an unequal struggle. Violent" royal games"She is clearly beyond her strength yet. The hunt is for a young creature, more like a cute fairy princess, heartlessly deceived by an experienced and grasping courtier - Count Orlov (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), sent by the Empress. But when Catherine herself sees this unfortunate adventurer defeated, she feels more pity for her than hatred, although she quickly suppresses the uninvited human weakness. The royal throne remains indivisible, but the heart of the great empress. And behind this eternal struggle, which is happening in the soul of the heroine Aronova, I want to follow inseparably
