"Magic lamp of Aladdin" in the musical theater. Stanislavsky: an adult approach to children's opera
Nino Rota's opera has already traveled half the globe. And only in Moscow, in the musical theater. Stanislavsky, the performance "The Magic Lamp of Aladdin" was seriously modified and remade specifically for the children's audience. According to the creative team of this stage platform, most of the classic works on fairy tales are still “tailored” to the tastes of adult viewers. It is difficult for kids to be imbued with love for high art if for one and a half to two hours they are forced to sit quietly and watch how it is not clear who is dancing and singing something.
Therefore, the play "The Magic Lamp of Aladdin" in the musical theater. Stanislavsky, firstly, was significantly reduced, but not to the detriment of the overall picture: they simply removed some of the musical repetitions that are in the original. Thus, out of three actions, only two remained, but they are very dynamic and bright.
Secondly, I had to seriously work on the "picture". The very name of the performance already contains the word “magical”, so its creators had to seriously puzzle over how to recreate various miracles in the most plausible way. As a result, children simply cannot believe their eyes when golden rain falls from the sky, and the evil sorcerer appears simultaneously in several places, including an animated projection on the screen. Such an opera will certainly be remembered by the young spectator and will lay the foundations of good taste in them.

East market
The market is bustling with life. What is not here: fabrics, carpets, clothes, perfumes, jewelry and jewelry! Merchants shout over each other, trying to sell their goods. Here comes Aladdin with his friends. They are busy playing and do not pay attention to others. Merchants are trying to calm down a noisy company.
A strange stranger is looking at Aladdin attentively. From his clothes, you can guess that he came from very distant countries - most likely from Africa.
Having called one of his friends, the stranger asks to tell him about Aladdin. From the story it becomes clear that Aladdin lives in poverty. His father, the tailor Mustafa, has died. The mother barely makes ends meet, and Aladdin, instead of finding a job, plays and smokes all day long.
“I am his uncle,” the stranger announces loudly and says that he is Mustafa's brother. He has made a fortune in distant lands and has now returned home to live with his family. He promises Aladdin a rich and happy life.
magic cave
Uncle took Aladdin to the mountains. The road was long and difficult. Aladdin was tired, but his uncle continued to lead him further and further, promising to show unprecedented miracles.
Uncle explained to Aladdin that he needed to go down into the cave and find an old lamp there. A magic ring will help you overcome all dangers. Only one person in the world can take the lamp, and that is Aladdin. Under his spell, the entrance to the cave opened, and Aladdin went in search.
Going down into the cave, Aladdin saw countless treasures. For a moment he forgot everything, blinded by the sparkle of the jewels. Unable to resist, he took a few stones with him. Coming to his senses, Aladdin took the lamp and hurried to the exit.
But instead of helping him get out, his uncle tried to quickly take the lamp for himself. Aladdin was seriously scared, and his uncle got angrier and angrier. Having lost his temper, the sorcerer (you, of course, already guessed that it was not an uncle, but an evil wizard) decided to leave Aladdin in the cave forever.
The entrance to the cave closed, and Aladdin realized that he would never see the light again. He raised his hands pleadingly, and accidentally touched the ring that was placed on his finger. A powerful genie appeared - the servant of the ring. By order of Aladdin, the genie opened the exit from the cave.
Aladdin's house
Hungry and tired, Aladdin returned home. He gave his mother an old lamp found in a cave. If you sell it at the market, you can get some money. To make the lamp look just a little newer, the mother decided to wipe it. Another genie appeared - a servant of the lamp. On Aladdin's orders, he brought a lot of delicious food on sumptuous platters. Aladdin and his mother ate their fill.
In the city
One day Aladdin went into a jewelry store. He saw the same beautiful pieces of glass that he once found in a magical cave. The jeweler explained to Aladdin that these were not just crystals, but precious stones.
Heralds announced that Princess Badr-al-Budur was approaching. But no one is allowed to see the beauty. Whoever looks at her will be executed. Aladdin was very curious. He decided to break the ban and look at the princess. Badr-al-Budur came out accompanied by maids. Her appearance was accompanied by the song:
Like a pearl you are from the foam of the sea
You appear to us, oh Badr-al-Budur!
You, like the moon, float in the clouds
In the silence of heaven, oh Badr-al-Budur!
Aladdin immediately fell in love with the beautiful princess. And she… Badr-al-Budur also dreamed of love.
Aladdin told his mother that he had decided to marry Princess Badr-al-Budur. As a gift to the Sultan, he decided to hand over the stones brought from the cave. After all, thanks to the jeweler, he learned that these are not just colored glass, but real jewels. No matter how his mother dissuaded him, Aladdin stood his ground. Badr-al-Budur will be his wife. For this, he is ready to risk his life.

Sultan's Palace
Courtiers and petitioners praise the Sultan, the most powerful ruler in the world. Among the crowd is Aladdin's mother. The Sultan noticed the bundle she was holding and decided to find out what was inside. Slightly alive with fear, Aladdin's mother told that her son was asking Badr al-Budur for his wife, and gave the bundle to the Sultan.
Seeing the precious gifts, the Sultan shook with greed. If Aladdin brings him more treasures, he is ready to give him the princess as his wife. Servants walked one after another, carrying baskets of jewels. Aladdin proved that he would not yield to wealth and power to the Sultan himself.
And Badr-al-Budur did not need any jewelry. A beautiful young man seemed to her a guest from heaven. Badr-al-Budur became the wife of Aladdin, and they lived in love and harmony in a luxurious palace that the genie built.
Kidnapping of Badr al-Budur
One day Aladdin went hunting. An incomprehensible anxiety seized Badr-al-Budur. She was distracted from her sad thoughts by a merchant who changed old lamps for new ones. The maid found an old lamp lying around and gave it away, not knowing about its magical power. The evil sorcerer (and it was him again, not the merchant) grabbed the lamp and ordered the palace, along with the princess and all the inhabitants, to be transferred to their possessions.
Returning home, Aladdin did not see either the palace or the princess. Luckily, he still has the magic ring. The genie of the ring could not bring the palace back, but he was ready to help Aladdin find his beloved.
Palace in Africa
Laughter and cheerful songs ceased to sound in the palace. Badr-al-Budur and the maids longingly recalled their former happiness. But then Aladdin's voice rang out, and he ran into the princess's chambers. Joyfully met him Badr-al-Budur. Waiting for the return of the sorcerer, Badr-al-Budur gave him a sleepy drink, and he fell asleep soundly. The magic lamp was back in Aladdin's hands.
Homecoming
Aladdin ordered the palace to be returned to his hometown and never again parted with the beautiful Badr al-Budur.
