Катерина
Immerse yourself in the magical world of Ukrainian folklore and mysticism through the prism of Taras Shevchenko's immortal classic. The performance "Katerina" by the Odessa Opera on the stage of the Franko Theater is a way to go beyond everyday life and see how ancient rituals are intertwined with the tragic fate of a woman.
"Katerina": ritual magic and the drama of the human soul
The action takes the viewer into the whirlpool of folk celebrations - from the winter solstice to the Kupala games. The scene comes to life thanks to the Nativity Scene: Death, the Devil, the Witch and the lyre player Perebendya fill the space with dances, singing and the sounds of authentic instruments. At Numotamo, we recommend this event to those who want to experience the true power of Ukrainian traditions, where nature changes seasons along with the development of Kateryna and Ivan's love.
