The Waiting

Mikael Tariverdiev's mono-opera on Robert Rozhdestvensky's poem “The Waiting (Monologue of a Woman)”.

The heroine arrives for a date 32 minutes early. On the outside, only half an hour passes — but inside her, a whole emotional story unfolds: confidence gives way to anxiety, tenderness to irritation, hope to despair.

An intimate story about love, vulnerability and the enormous range of feelings that can fit into just a few minutes of waiting.

Performed by Anastasia Pavlina.
