A musical is often confused with an operetta, but they are different, although somewhat related in their method of expression. Operetta is a classical genre, a musical is modern. In it, pop singing is combined with modern dance, drama and even opera. Therefore, the musical performance is more diverse, dynamic and enchanting. It captivates from the first bars and keeps the attention until the very end.
Musicals in Kyiv - a bright show for all generations
The Internet poster offers different types of musical performances. A musical play is a dramatic work in which the main place is occupied by ordinary dialogues, and musical inserts only emphasize significant or emotional moments. In contrast, there are performances where actors only sing without using the spoken genre.
A cabaret musical is a production without a clearly defined plot, consisting of a set of separate musical numbers united by a common theme, time period, or musical direction. For example, the pop music of the 80s or the rituals of a Hutsul wedding of the 19th century.
You can also watch musicals based on classical works by domestic and foreign authors in Kyiv. Performances by modern singers and musical groups are very popular.
