The theater team could not contain their emotions.
Elena Yakovleva got into the Sovremennik troupe immediately after graduating from the university. For many years she served on the legendary stage, but not so long ago she decided to change her life and quit. The unexpected decision shocked not only her fans, who did not miss a single production, but also the theater management.
As it turned out, Galina Volchek, the permanent artistic director of Sovremennik, could not hold back her tears when she found out about this news. She was very warm to the actress, so her dismissal was a real blow. And, as colleagues note, they saw traces of tears in the eyes of the director for the first and last time.
Other artists were also not happy with Yakovleva’s decision. After all, with her departure, she influenced the theater tour and the usual repertoire. Therefore, for example, Marina Neelova and Sergey Garmash held creative evenings to replace performances with Yakovleva.
Now the artist, as the portal writes “7 days”, appears only as a guest celebrity. Viewers can see her in the productions of “Playing … Schiller!” and “Theater”.
