Based on Listening, exercise 2. Listen to the interview and decide which of the statements below are True, False or Not Stated InterviewerBoris Good morning, sir. May I ask you a few questions? Certainly. What would you like to know? You work in a very unusual theatre in Moscow. What theatre is it? It's the Moscow State Opera and Ballet Theatre for Young Audience. People also call it the Natalia Sats theatre. Natalia Sats is a legendary woman, isn't she? She is. She founded our theatre in 1965 and was its director for a very long time. We can call Natalia Ilyinichna "the mother of children's theatres throughout the world" because hers was the first professional music theatre in the world. Altogether she organized six theatres of this kind. If I'm not mistaken, her father, Ilya Sats, was a composer and wrote music for the Stanislavsky Moscow Art Theatre. It's really so. From her early childhood Natalia grew up among some of the greatest Russian actors. Theatre and music became her world and her lifelong love. Does your theatre show performances for children only? In fact, we have real opera and ballet performances for children, for young people and for family audiences. As you see, grown-ups also come and enjoy our shows too. So, your theatre stages both operas and ballets. Not only. We present classical and modern operas and ballets, give symphony concerts and special educational programmes for people of different ages where we tell people about music, opera and ballet. I suppose it's correct to say that everyone can find something to their taste in your theatre. Our idea is to present to the audience the greatest opera and ballet music of different periods and to speak to children in the language of modern art. I believe it's very important to help children learn to listen to music, to feel its beauty. Music makes our lives rich and more colourful. It's absolutely true and that's what we always remember. When I say "we", I mean a big symphony orchestra of more than one hundred musicians, an opera company with 75 singers and a ballet company with about 60 dancers. All of them are first-class professionals. Let me wish you the best of luck and success. Natalia Sats founded several children's music theatres. Hers was the second theatre of this kind in the world. Both Natalia's parents belonged to the world of music. The theatre gives performances for different age groups. The theatre's educational programmes take place regularly. The theatre tends to focus on modern music. The theatre's company consists of a big orchestra and a group of singers.
