Видео

Unfortunately, there is not an official ("studio") audio track of the musical. Everything you see and hear is recorded by the audience.

@@imoex_index Это чисто техническая проблема: размещение и характеристики направленности микрофона должны передавать голос без искажений на радиопередатчик.

That's too technical for me. :) I specialize in video editing only.

No idea :) In theaters, there are always "underground tunnels" for actors, under the stage.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, the Russian team and performances are pretty impressive.

Hi Suzy, thank you for coming back. We did have a good break. I will be gradually working on other episodes . Unfortunately, there is only one full ("pirate", of course) record of the musical on youtube. Many episodes contain unintelligible parts of dialogs and lyrics. So, at the moment it is impossible to process all the episodes in sequential order. Let's see; maybe some kind people will upload another full version, so the complete processing will be possible.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 Thank you so much for everything that you do. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you had a nice break. I'm learning Russian and this really helps me get my "listening practice" in. I'm an absolute beginner but it's so much fun to learn when you have a goal in mind. And yes, maybe some people will be kind enough to upload another full version or some parts that can be pieced together.

@@Suzy.musician The original Russian texts of this musical are really hard for non-Russian speakers. They are written in a complicated (poetic, almost "pathetic") style. The dialogs are OK, but the lyrics are very difficult to translate in an "exact" way. I don't want to discourage you, of course; just a thought from my part.

Hi again Suzy; I thought you might be interested in the following option. Texts of "Бал вампиров" in Russian are available online on: vk.com/topic-30284476_25825077 If your goal is listening practice, that may be useful. Cheers.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 That's awesome. Thank you very much for letting me know. I'll check it out right away. 😊

Yes, he is an adorable hooligan :)

My pleasure. :) I have to take a break for a couple of weeks, but I promise to return to this project after that.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 Have a nice break and again, thank you so so much! I love the Russian musicals so much.

You're welcome!

Thank you. :) I love the "Vampires". Music, plot, actors - everything is wonderful.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 It really is. I've seen the German production live a couple of times but I have to say I like the Russian vampires even more. The costumes are richer, and the acting, singing and overall atmosphere just has a more special feel to it.

@@Suzy.musician I would say that the major difference between the two productions is the "spirit" of the show: the German version is dramatic and tragic, whereas the Russian one is rather satirical. Although, that may be my personal perception only.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 Yes, I think that sums it up quite well. I've only seen the Russian show on RUclips and it's always better to see theatre live, of course, but it still felt so fresh and different from the German production. I really hope there's going to be another Vampire Ball...one day. And maybe even Elisabeth (who doesn't want to see Kirill as der Tod/Death?!)

Kirill Gordeyev (Gordeev) is a popular actor working in the Saint Petersburg Theater of Musical Comedy.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 I like him a lot as an actor. I've seen quite a few of his works on RUclips and he is very talented. I can see why a lot of people like him.

Alexander Ragulin (the author of the musical) wrote sort of a "prequel" to the famous story of three musketeers.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 it is very interesting. I haven't heard of it but the music is great.

Это не студийная запись, а запись из зала. Они всегда посредственного качества.

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 странно

Что именно странно ? Лицензия стоит очень дорого. Вопрос всегда в окупаемости. Студийная запись с последующим распространением - это отдельная лицензия.

Yes, this is a sad story, and Emma's choice is logical. Not every movie or theatrical play must have a "happy end". At least, this whole version of J&H is pretty good (IMHO); I thought that translating this Russian version to English would be a good way to make the nternational audience to enjoy J&H once again.

Also I have a question. Did they actually show her falling off or did they just blackout when she leaned over the fence, because your video look like it blacked out just to say the end.

@@pokemonlovers4907 No they didn't. The show ends exactly as on video.

Oh okay.

You're welcome 😊

В самом деле ?

Какая Гусева ?

You are welcome :)

Наверное потому что запись аудиотрека в исполнении Казьмина - студийная, а эта - из зала.

K сожалению нет. Было желание познакомить англоязычную аудиторию с этим шедевром советского кинематографа, но зрительский энтузиазм как-то не сложился - мало просмотров... Может, соберусь с силами. :)

@@samopalvampirenvonbutlegin8603 Если сделаете субтитры ко всему фильму, можно будет предложить к просмотру, например, американскому блогеру Elias Corvera. У него канал на ютьюбе. Он много смотрит советской киноклассики. А я бы закинул ссылку англоязычным любителям детектива.

IMHO her feelings are both fear and desire at the same time; they are both at very biological level, not controlled by consciousness.
