FROM PARIS WITH LOVE...LIDO in MOSCOW!
The famous French Lido cabaret comes to Moscow with his show dedicated to the 65 years of its existence, explained the artistic director and Director of the Lido, Pierre Rambert. "The Lido does practically not tour because it does not want to become too accessible." The Lido is Paris a point that is all. But the Russia and the France have cultural and spiritual ties close. There are many Russians who come to us in France. "So we decided to bring a little of the atmosphere and the spirit of the Lido for all those who can not come to Paris and see our shows", explains Pierre Rambert. Representations in Moscow which will be held 17-19 March 2011 at Crocus City Hall, should provide the more grandiose show outside Paris.
"It is the first time that the Lido is in Moscow and Russia even to present the show in the Moscow public." We are very pleased to do so, very nervous also. We have many Russian friends who come to the Lido in Paris. When we had proposed to come to Moscow, it was thought that it would be a great idea because it is clear that the Russians like the Lido because when they come to Paris, they come to the Lido. We wanted to make what there is of the Lido, transportable as much because of technology, machinery, technology can be moved. What we take with us in Russia, is what makes the soul of the Lido: the Blues Bell Girls, dancers, singers, the attractions, the beauty of the costumes, the elegance of the artists and a certain Parisian spirit. The spirit of the feast and joie de vivre. "All what makes the Parisian night, we want the give the Russian public and the Moscow public specifically," explains Pierre Rambert.
Even if it is impossible to bring the technical component of the Lido in Moscow, the atmosphere of the famous cabaret will be still re-created, reassures Pierre Rambert. A special setting will be created on the occasion. The room of Crocus City Hall will also set up: a part of the floor will be replaced by the tables as it must be in a true cabaret. The spectators will have unique special effects and the show lights spectateurs. On the stage, there will be a dragon belching fire, fountains and illuminated cascades, a pool is transforming into a skating rink. Over 300 hand made costumes decorated with feathers and Swarovski crystals are made Paris to Moscow specifically for performances in the Russian capital. Some costumes weigh about 15 kg. The average price amounted to EUR 12 000, says Pierre Rambert.
"The show will last approximately 1: 30 pm." It is the duration of the show in Paris without intermission. There are 32 people staged between the cheerleader magazine, singers, dancers, the Blues Bell Girls, attractions... It is a big show. I bring some 300 costumes of Paris: it is a huge move. There are fifteen different ballets in the show. I treated the show with vignettes of a variety are representative of what we do at the Lido. I insist many still on the speed of the show that the public be taken on a trip so that he forgets the cold, congestion, concerns so that it passes a moment of pleasure. "The joy of living, it is that we want to bring to Moscow public", resumed Pierre Rambert.
