On October 11-12, 2025, the long-awaited premiere of the rock musical “Gladiator” will take place on the stage of the “Theater on Serpukhovka”. Director Ramzil Minibayeva presents a spectacular production that enlivens the history of Ancient Rome through the energy of rock music.
The project, which has become a real challenge for the creators, combines classical ancient drama with the power of modern rock. The original rock score was written by Peter Elfimov, Konstantin Skripalev, Anna Skripaleva and Vadim Lanova. The main role of the commander Maximus will be performed by Peter Elfimov himself, the vocalist of the group “Grand-Courage”, the participant of “Eurovision 2009”.
Famous actors participate in the musical: the winner of the Golden Mask Alexander Bobrov, the participant of the show “The Voice” Roman Grafov, Konstantin Baryshnikov, the winner of the “Musical Heart of the Theater” Natalia Bystrov and many others.
The performance promises to impress the audience with large-scale scenery (artist-scenographer Ksenia Trifonova), stylish costumes (suit designer Yanina Kremer), exciting battles (fight scene director Batraz Zaseev) and expressive plastic language (choreographer-director Irina Korneeva). The creation of Gladiator is the result of the team’s well-coordinated work, and they are already ready to present their creation to the world.
