Cited from the official web site of the Novaya Opera theatre:
"Life after death does exist, and ample proof that is provided by The Tsar’s Bride directed by Yuri Grymov for the Novaya Opera. This is a thoroughly Kolobovian production, which carries on the Maestro’s traditions of radical transformation of classical operas. <…> Short and dynamic, the production meets the requirements of the modern audience".
