“The Adventures of ‘Blue Arrow’” opera was created within the frameworks of laboratory “KOOPERATSIA – 2018”.

Laboratory “KOOPERATSIA” is a creative and educational project designed to promote young composers and playwrights. The purpose of the project is to involve young authors in the realm of music theatre, so that new works can be created, and also to attract attention of professional community to young composers and playwrights works, as well as to strengthen discussion of opera art.

With this premiere, the laboratory starts exploring a new area: creation of new operas for children, KIDS OPERA LAB. There will be several stages of the project: educational (open lectures and clinics with music theatre professionals), and practical, where an opera would be shown to young audience. 

The plot of the “Blue Arrow” is well known. There’s an expensive toy magazine, and one day some toys decide to escape this “prison” in order to present themselves to poor children, whose parents could not afford to buy the toys. On their way the toys meet numerous obstacles and adventures, and win new friends. The moral of the story: miracles do happen sometimes, and we should cherish sincerity, loyalty, and friendship.
