On the birthday of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, a new musical-poetic theatrical experience comes to life.

At the International Mugham Center, audiences will step into the hidden world behind the legend of Russia’s greatest poet.

This is not a lecture.
Not a museum evening.

This is a performance balanced on the edge of passion and catastrophe — where poetry sounds like gunfire, and every movement reveals what history tried to conceal.

A story they never taught you in school

A jealousy born in Bakhchisaray.
A fate sealed at the Black River.
Whispers in aristocratic salons.
Friends who chose silence.
A woman erased from history.
And a love powerless against destiny.

There is no speaking Pushkin on stage.
No speaking Natalia Goncharova.

Their story unfolds through dance, music, and dramatic voice — through the eyes of Idalia Poletika and Pyotr Vyazemsky.

Every glance becomes confession.
Every movement becomes truth.

The evening is infused with the voice of a dramatic soprano of rare emotional power — capable of turning a whisper into heartbreak and passion into a cry.

Music by Chopin, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff merges with the haunting sound of Eastern instruments, creating a world suspended between empire, memory, and tragedy.

For those who want to meet Pushkin alive

Not a monument.
Not a portrait from a textbook.

But a man — brilliant, reckless, jealous, vulnerable.

“The Bakhchisaray String” is more than a performance.
It is an emotional collision with the final chapter of a genius.

Come.
Hear Pushkin before the shot.
