78th Anniversary of Dmitry Shostakovich "Symphony 7 (Leningradskaya)" Premiere in Kuybyshev Opera House. Samara, Russia
In 1941, Dmitry Shostakovich, one of the greatest composers ever, together with his family was evacuated from sieged Leningrad (former St Petersburg) to Samara (former Kyubyshev), which is became a "back-up capital" of Russia during the WWII.
Being connected to Moscow with railways and Volga river, Samara was a good place to evacuate the factories there.
Yet Samara had a new big musical Opera House, so there also was evacuated the collective of Bolshoy Theater of Moscow.
Three of four parts of 7th Symphony, Shostakovich composed in Leningrad, but the final fourth part was written in Kuybyshev at the 27th of December, 1941.
Being evacuated together with the musicians of Bolshoy Theater orchestra, Shostakovich actually got a chance to perform it with one of the best symphony orchestras in USSR.
It is taken only two months between the release and very first premiere of 7th Symphony on a scene of Kuybyshev Opera House at the 5th of March, 1942.
In next few months, 7th Symphony was performed in Moscow, London, New York, Boston, Mexico and conquered the World showing all the nightmare of Nazi war, suffer but bravery and unbreakable belief of Russian people in their victory.
78 years later, exactly in the same place and time, at the 5th of March, 2020, the symphony orchestra of Samara Opera House performed the 7th Symphony again.
But I came to Samara, not only for the concert, but to research the life of Shostakovich in Kuybyshev and show the most significant "Shostakovich places".
