"Noble Nest. Return "- Turgenev holiday

According to a long-standing tradition, the Turgenev celebration was held yesterday in Orel. The name had a meaning “Noble nest. Return".

As usual, the venue was a landscape monument "Noble Nest".

I think that many have read the novel by I.S. Turgenev. In honor of the 160th anniversary of its publication and held a holiday.

The square is named after the great poet’s literary work. In ancient times, the local nobility lived next to him, and the Society of "Fine Arts" arranged for her performances, concerts just in this picturesque place on the bank of Orlik (Oka tributary). On the contrary, the novel was given this name because the events took place in a noble estate. Turgenev referred to the publisher - he came up with the name of the work.

The heroine of the novel, Liza Kalitina, lived in the house from the park Noble Nest. There are different opinions about the real names and surnames of her prototype. Perhaps the character fiction I.S. Turgenev, although the old-timers passed from generation to generation, that in ancient times of the 19th century the girl from the house went to the monastery, who mentions in her novel I.S. Turgenev.

Square "Noble Nest" is well suited for such events. Holidays in nature is great! It is also possible to admire the beautiful landscape, to walk, to see the creative representations of urban groups, which took place in different places of the public garden for every taste.

For young viewers was staging a puppet show.

Children under the supervision of coaches could try their hand at ancient martial arts and competitions.

And how many enjoyed the fun of jumping, sitting in the real hay.

It was fun and interesting.

Performed urban creative teams.

On the bank of Orlik, dance ensembles in old Russian clothes danced out right on the grass.

The young peasant girls and the young men started dancing to the music arbitrarily, outside the concert numbers.

The young ladies were walking, dressed in the style of Turgenev times.

The final touches to the creation of "sculptures" were in the presence of guests of the holiday. Many of them wanted to take pictures with them.

I barely caught the moment to take pictures of the characters in the novel “a noble nest” without “neighbors”.

How nice to plunge into the history of distant times, to mentally present the events taking place. Yes, and just walk in a wonderful place that is very popular on weekdays.

As always, a folk crafts fair was organized at the festival.

For those who wish, master classes were held.

Actors Orlovsky Drama Theater. I.S. Turgenev presented staged miniatures of excerpts from several works by Ivan Sergeevich to the residents of the city.

Quarter of the provincial symphony orchestra.

In the meantime, only the picture of the house "Liza Kalitina" in good condition. The house is still preserved, but it is in a state of destruction. The photo is just his fence.

The drawing was created by one of the Oryol artists. Its completion took place in a solemn atmosphere at the conclusion of the holiday.

Living statues in the images of the characters in the Noble Nest novel were frozen in front of the house, as if they returned to a memorial house. Sometimes the sculptures “came to life”, moved.

Residents of our city hope that the time will come when there will be a financial opportunity to restore a literary monument - the house of Lisa Kalitina.

The final part of the holiday was sad, but overall the event is wonderful.
