Old Russian Romance is a wonderful genre. It emerged in the wake of Romanticism trends, and has not lost its popularity until today.
Few composers could resist the temptation to explore the possibilities that no other genre, except for romance, offers, its deeply personal, almost intimate expression. Special value is added to the Night of Russian Romance in the St. Petersburg Chamber Opera because of the unique atmosphere of the old cozy hall in Baron von Derviz Mansion, where the theatre is located.
