Zeminovka Theatre

The neoclassicist opera house, decorated with baroque art, was filled with the elite of Nentsia. Writers, politicians, Boyars (nobility), wealthy and even the imperial family attended the concert of Josif F. Rostakytshin, a famous composer in Nentsia.

The interior of the building was made of marble and gold, the stage was entirely decorated with immense golden statues that held up a big red curtain. The concert room fell silent, as an enormous orchestra appeared on stage. Rostakytshin opened the concert with a piano piece. He took place behind a black grand piano, and began to play a piece of Chopin. He played the piece gently, as it should be. The audience listened to the play, as it was breathtaking. Tsar Alexander I and his wife Ekatarina Vasilyevna were enjoying the night.

After the piano play, Rostakytshin and the orchestra played a piece from Jean-Philippe Rameau, a composer who was the favorite of Louis XIV from France.

More briliant music pieces were played, including Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Purcell and Bach. The best play of the concert was Verdi's Sanctus. At the end, there was a bombastic music piece of Giusseppe Verdi which made the building shake on its foundations. Alexander loved the aggressive style of the piece, called Requiem. After that, the show ended with the epic Lux Aeterna as it was carried out by Rostakytshin.

The audience applauded very loudly and enthousiastically for the orchestra. A group of intellectuals, together with Rostakytshin and the new premier Nenetskin entered the stage to give a speech.

First, a famous writer spoke about the essence of culture and art. Another writer spoke about the need to revive the cultural heritage of Nentsia, and finally, Nenetskin said he wanted to revive the Nentsian Renaissance. Education, religion, culture and arts were given the highest priority on the agenda of premier Nenetskin and Tsar Alexander I.

Nenetskin spoke about the revival and the return of Nentsian pride, of the Nentsian cultural and economical heydays. Nenetskin promised the elite of the Nentsian empire, that Vladimirsk would be the cultural capital of Renatia within a decade. He would achieve that by encouraging entrepreneurship, ambition, free market, social responsibility and financing art and cultural projects. Education had to improve, in order to serve the future society.

Nenetskin called this the beginning of a new era in Nentsia. Communism had ended, weak democracy and instability ended - and the social democratic/liberal coalition of the SDRP and LDPPE would bring a new era of prosperity, wealth, culture and unity.
