The Russian full-length musical “Tartuff” directed by Jan Fried was created based on the comedy play by J.-B. Moliere. The film was filmed between August and October 1991, and appeared on screens in 1992.
In the work on the musical, the translation of the play by M. Donskoy is used, the songs of the composer G. Gladkov sound in it. The main plot and morality of the comedy were preserved as much as possible, changing only a few minor details.
Mikhail Boyarsky plays the main role, playing a young charismatic man who does not shun hypocrisy, but causes genuine interest and sympathy among the audience. The name of the young hypocrite Tyurtuf over time became a household name. Tartuf, with his incredible talent for gaining the trust of the powerful, finds common ground with Orgon, the head of a respectable family, and enjoys his indulgence. Fascinated by his “buddy,” Orgon wants to marry his beautiful daughter Mariana against her will. Tartuf is capable of seduction and betrayal, he lies, while maintaining an innocent appearance. In fact, his target is Elmira, the wife of the trusting Orgon, who is much younger than her husband.
Features of staging
• The explanation of Elmira and Tartuf is striking in its extreme rudeness and frankness.
• Damis does not treat his stepmother like a son, he is jealous of Tartuf, whom he hates.
• The role of Mariana’s maid, Doreena, in the film is negligible, although in the play she is present in almost every episode.
• In the final scene, Tartuf appears undefeated. He appears in this episode not as a specific person, but as the embodiment of immortal human hypocrisy. close

His daughter, Serafima, is an aspiring singer with great potential, and her father’s anger is aroused when she begins singing in the operetta composed by Aleksei Mukhin, thus abandoning what he considers the higher calling of opera. Mukhin’s work, however, demands a high level of ability from his soloist, and Anton Ivanovich is persuaded of the legitimacy of operetta as a musical genre when, in a dream, he is visited by Johann Sebastian Bach himself, who tells him that ‘people need all kinds of music’. close
