Conductor Rasul Klychev in his work most often among his colleagues refers to the theme of fairy tales for children. This time, together with the musicians of the State Symphony Orchestra, he pleased Ashgabat boys and girls with the music of Karen Khachaturian for the ballet “The Adventure of Cipollino” by the Italian writer Gianni Rodari.

The host of the concert, Vasily Andronov, a magnificent storyteller, began his story: “The inhabitants of the village where cheerful vegetables live gather on the main square to solemnly welcome the Prince of Lemon. A crush is formed, and Cipollino, Cipollino's father, inadvertently steps on the Prince's corn. For this, the old man is thrown into prison ... ".

Children with great attention follow the adventures of humanoid vegetables and fruits, as well as their little leader - a brave onion boy, who helps other vegetables and fruits to defend justice.

In the background of the stage, the video shows the ballet "The Adventure of Cipollino", where the artists retell the exciting stories that happen to the characters of the fairy tale with plastic movements.

Karen Khachaturian's music, saturated with rapidly changing emotions, somewhere disturbing, but more bright and joyful, completes the ballet with the triumph of friendship and solidarity of the characters.

The musicians of the symphony orchestra very accurately conveyed Karen Khachaturian's composition. Light, well-coordinated melodies flowed from the stage into the hall, well-honed in the process of working on music.

The hall thanked the conductor Rasul Klychev with a friendly applause for the great aesthetic pleasure received from the concert.

Backstage, we congratulated Rasul Klychev on his successful performance and asked the question:

- How to explain the constant attention to the children's audience in the work of the State Symphony Orchestra?

- Indeed, we invited children to the works of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky "The Nutcracker", Claude Debussy "The Little Prince", George Gershwin and Paulie Duke "Disney Cartoon Characters" ... Children take great pleasure in music with fairy tales. Thus, we prepare the audience of future listeners of symphonic music. Children enter the world of fabulous classics and at the same time get acquainted with wonderful symphonic works.

- What plans do you have for the future?

- Five years ago, we introduced the guys to the symphonic fairy tale "Peter and the Wolf" by Sergei Prokofiev. During this time, many new ideas have appeared, and I would like to give this tale in a different reading. In addition, new viewers have grown in five years.
