Description

The book contains about a thousand entries covering the genres that have been represented on the Russian variety stage at various times during the twentieth century. The main section is devoted to individuals - entries on performers, directors, designers, composers, poets, writers and others. The decisive criteria for selection were: the creation by a performer of marked individuality of new trends, genres and original acts; the activity and duration of their participation in concert life, their resonance in the press and in memoir literature, and the release of records, discs and so on. The biographical-reference nature of the work determined the standard structure of these entries - a chronologically sequential life story with a set of mandatory information and a brief characterization of the performer's work. Drawing on a broad range of material, the book shows the diversity and evolution of variety-stage genres (theatres, cabarets, variety shows, music halls), traces the emergence and widespread growth of nightclubs, the universal passion for musicals, and gathers and systematizes the work of the performers, composers, poets and others who created, and continue to create, the Russian variety stage.
