When Strings Tell a Story: Vasilisa the Beautiful as a Fairy Tale for Strings

A musical fairy tale for the whole family: talents from the violin, viola, cello, and double bass classes of the Municipal Music School Landshut bring the Russian folk tale world of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga to life. Storyteller and concept: Angelika Fichter. The evening combines stage experience, storytelling, and the colors of strings into an atmospheric concert theater.

A Fairy Tale in String Colors

From the first bow stroke, the staging unfolds a radiant sound carpet: warm violins, velvety violas, singing cellos, grounding double bass. Motifs outline characters, rhythmic accents drive the action forward. The theater atmosphere arises from music and spoken word – without elaborate sets, with imagination as the backdrop.

Dramaturgy Between Light and Shadow

The narrative follows the traditional line of the folk tale Vasilisa the Beautiful: a heroine, trials, magic. The musical dramaturgy alternates between lyrical passages and tension-filled episodes. Short, scenic arrangements of the strings mark turning points; recurring motifs create orientation and audience reaction: tense silence – and warm applause after each resolved trial.

The Art of Voice, Stage Set in the Mind

Angelika Fichter guides through the scenes with clear diction, distinctive character colors, and fine timing. Lighting moods and the acoustics of the concert hall support the narrative: focused spots for the night in the woods, warm light for Vasilisa's courage. The strings create sound effects – harmonics as twinkling stars, pizzicatos as fleeting footsteps – thus expanding the stage into the imaginary.

Young Artists, Mature Impact

The performance demonstrates how pedagogical excellence leads to artistic quality: precise ensemble playing, clean intonation, responsive groups. The result: a dense yet light fairy tale experience that engages children and rewards adults with fine musical references.

Conclusion

A chamber musical storytelling theater that paints large images with small gestures. Family-friendly, poetic, approachable – and a convincing example of lively music communication. Experience the fairy tale live, as the magic of the strings unfolds strongest in the room.
