The Odesa National Opera is set to launch a significant ballet project. On May 24, the two-act ballet performance "Lisova" will premiere, inspired by Lesya Ukrainka's fairy drama "The Forest Song".

According to the Ministry of Culture, this emotionally charged performance merges nature and urban life, myth and modernity, legend and raw emotion. The creative team aims to bring to life a complex, multilayered world where every detail enhances the atmosphere of the production.

The production features prominent Ukrainian artists: the theatre's chief conductor, Honored Artist of Ukraine Vasyl Koval, choreographer and librettist, Honored Culture Worker of Ukraine Olesya Shlyakhtych, stage designer Petro Bohomazov, and costume designer Maria Rudenko. The project also includes video installation artist Andriy Savdeyev and lighting designer Pavlo Lytvynenko.

"Their collaborative artistic vision will bring to the stage the intricate multilayered world of 'Lisova', where each detail enhances the performance's atmosphere and immerses the audience in a space where magic and human emotions intersect with the coldness of the modern technocratic world," stated the Ministry of Culture.

This performance promises to be a unique blend of classical ballet and contemporary technology, featuring video installations and special lighting design.
