Opera performed in a museum is not something you get every day.
But in a museum in memory of prominent Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov, anything’s possible. The author of “Master and Margarita,” the world-famous mystic novel, loved music and drew inspiration from it.
Opera “Love letters” by Ukrainian composer Vitaliy Gubarenko is based on a novel called “Tenderness.” Written by French writer Henri Barbusse, it tells a story of a man who mourns the death of his beloved.
Before dying, however, she sent him four love letters, which he receives one by one. The plot sounds much like the 2007 American drama “P.S. I love you,” also based on a novel but a different one.
So if the concoction of love, death and Bulgakov appeal to you, check out the museum, which has staged operas since 2005.
Sept. 25, 7 p.m., 13 Andriyivskiy uzviz, tel. 425-3188.www.bulgakov.org.ua (in Ukrainian) Tickets: Hr 100
