My first production in the musical genre was at the Khabarovsk Musical Theater. Captain's Daughter is a blockbuster by composer Yevgeny Zagot and librettist Karen Kavalerian. It alternates chamber lyrical scenes with large-scale battles, and jazz and rock hits with heartfelt lyrical ballads.

Costumes designed by Olga Sid underscore the difference between the two warring groups: officers and soldiers of the regular army wear authentic suits, while the forest robbers, led by Yemelyan Pugachyov, are dressed in leather suits of modern cut. Irina Sid's set design, based on huge wooden columns reaching beyond the stage mirror, transformed before the eyes of the audience in Belogorsk fortress, in the dense woods, in the casemates.

The love story of Masha and Grinev captivated the audience, and our production was included in the list of the best Khabarovsk productions of 2022 according to Transsib info web portal.
