These paintings for the last time you could see on the stage probably in 1937. Whereas in France the 100 th anniversary of Pushkin's death was staged opera The Golden Cockerel. " The most complicated game - Astrologer - performed Gregory Rice. His daughter has for decades kept the props of the play. A grandson of the artist Polenov, a native of France, Alexander Lyapin, acquired most of the collection and donated to the museum Bahrushinskomu.

"When he saw one of the collapse Korovinskoe suits, he could not resist and bought them. Talking with the seller, he learned that his daughter is Rice. She said that she has more and sheet music - hence such a large income. This 1993 suit, 115 hats, 110 pairs of shoes - all this comes to us in suitcases, trunks. In particular, here are the scenery ", - says chief curator of the State Central Theatre Museum Bakhrushin Irina Gamul.

From decorations to Korovin "Golden Cockerel" occurred incredible stories. First created in 1909 for the Maly Theatre, burned down. In 1918 the artist was trying to recover them from memory, but their fate is unknown. In 1920, already in exile, the master returned to the "End of the Line" for the third time.

"The first acquaintance with the backdrop suggests that the work on this soft, beautiful scenery Korovin was directly involved. It is felt by some picturesque details backs and wings, which are virtually impossible to copy. Author's hand is the author's "- the director of the State Central Theatre Museum Bakhrushin Dmitry Rodionov.

Employees of the State Tretyakov dismayed: they know all of the early sketches for the play, but to see the real author's scenery is not even dreamed of. Now think about how in a future exhibition, timed to 150 anniversary of Konstantin Korovin, show this treasure to the public.

"We're puzzled over this. At this stage - to show part of the hall, where hung "Blue Train" Picasso at the Diaghilev exhibition. There's a unique place where you can put some of these decorations, "- says the first deputy general director of the Tretyakov Gallery Lydia Iovleva.

For several hours on the stage "Pyotr Fomenko Workshop" takes place decorations, which were not used 70 years. They say that the contents of the six chests in perfect condition, and we can once again play the play "The Golden Cockerel" against the background of these decorations. There the score remained almost all the costumes and the scenery is absolutely everything. Today, museum workers secretly dream of reviving the authentic opera The Golden Cockerel, who once conquered the European theater.
