“Mosbilet” and the Theatre on Ordynka, subordinate to the capital’s To the Department of Culture, invite to the premiere of Eduard Boyakov’s musical drama “Prima Donna’s Earrings”.

The actions of the play will transport the audience to the 19th century, to a serfdom nobleman’s theater. The young actress Lyuba gets a chance to replace the prima donna in a play performed before the emperor himself. Along with the lead role, she receives the “carmine” earrings—a sign of the theater owner’s special favor. They are awarded to the actress who gets the best roles, the admiration of the public, and the attention of the count. But for Lyuba, success turns into a threat. After the play, the count is waiting for her at his place. The heroine and her lover, the makeup artist Arkady, have one night left to decide whether they are ready to risk everything for love and freedom.
