Pirates

**Pirates** – a rollicking, adventurous concert film that takes audiences from the classic world of Robert Louis Stevenson’s *Treasure Island* to the cinematic swashbuckling of *Pirates of the Caribbean*. Feel the pulse of the sea as the legends of Captain Flint’s hidden treasure come alive on stage. Though pirates are not the most moral heroes, their charisma and daring have made them unforgettable figures in adventure lore. The story is told by famed theatre and film actress Svetlana “Thunder and Lightning” Timofeeva‑Letunovskaya, who steers the audience through true and fictional tales of pirate life, habits, and daring exploits. Conductor Evgeny “Seven Feet Under the Keel” Volchkov leads the journey aboard the legendary ship “Hispaniola,” while a star-studded ensemble of soloists adds color: boatswain Pavel “A Thousand Devils” Lukoyanov on gusli, vocalist Khalida “Raise Anchor” Abueva, and guitarist Maxim “Strike Me with Thunder” Yakovlev. The soundtrack is amplified by the Academic Choir of the Opera Class of the A.N. Scriabin Moscow Regional College of Music, directed by Yulia Besedina, and the robust symphonic forces of the same college’s Symphony Orchestra. Together, they deliver an immersive experience that sings the saga of the high seas. Yo‑ho‑ho! Full sails and dry powder—come aboard at the House of Music. The program is subject to change.
