EVITA<br />
Musical in two acts<br />
Translators Peeter Volkonski, Hannes Villemson<br />
Director Georg Malvius (Sweden)<br />
Musical Director and Conductor Tarmo Leinatamm<br />
Stage and Costume Designer Ellen Cairns (Scotland)<br />
Light Designer Palle Palmé (Sweden)<br />
Choreographer Igor Barberic (Croatia)<br />
The musical is about the life of Eva Perón, wife of the Argentine president<br />
Juan Perón as told by Ché Guevara, another modern icon. „Evita“ was first<br />
published in 1976 as a musical album.<br />
The success of the album lead to the production in London West End in<br />
1978 and a year later in Broadway. In 1996 a movie version was produced<br />
where Madonna starred as Evita and Antonio Banderas as Ché Guevara.<br />
Evita as well as Ché symbolize certain naive beliefs in the popular<br />
culture: faith of a better world; life sacrificed for the poor and the humiliated.<br />
These are the myths that in their own way follow the example of Christ.<br />
Actually, it remains unknown whether Ché Guevara and Evita Perón ever<br />
even met each other...<br />

Musical Director and Conductor Lauri Sirp<br />
Director Marko Matvere<br />

The world premiere took place at Opera Comique in Paris in 1884. It was an<br />
instant success and it remained in the repertoire of Opera Comique until<br />
1959. Massenet’s Manon is one of the most popular French operas of all<br />
times. It talks about the tragic love affair of Manon Lescaut and Le Chevalier<br />
des Grieux. It is a marvellous example of the music and culture of the<br />
Paris belle époque.<br />

„Spring” has elevated a lot of excitement in critics (probably also in spectators)<br />
