Yakutsk Premieres The Three Musketeers Stage Adaptation
Yakutsk's Bold New Three Musketeers Dazzles with Sold-Out Swordplay
YAKUTIA.INFO. The adventurous historical comedy The Three Musketeers—inspired by Alexandre Dumas's iconic novel—has arrived as a vibrant spring gift for city residents. Over three days—February 27, 28, and March 1—the Pushkin Academic Russian Drama Theater hosted three sold-out premiere performances.
The opening shows drew a total of 1,200 spectators.
A standout feature of the production was its elaborately choreographed sword-fighting scenes, ranging from one-on-one duels to large-scale battles involving multiple characters. Dynamic and gripping, these sequences showcased nearly the entire male ensemble. Fight choreographer Vladimir Granov oversaw the staging of these combat scenes.
The role of d'Artagnan was shared by two young theater actors, Shokhruk Shepelev and Semen Romanenko. The trio of daring musketeers was brought to life by Honored Artist of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) Stepan Fyodorov (Athos), Ilya Shumkin (Porthos), and Yevgeny Kuzmin (Aramis), each delivering a distinct fighting style. Among the most memorable in the battle sequences was Sergei Deryugov, who played Richelieu's guards officer de Jussac.
The production has now joined the permanent repertoire of the Pushkin Academic Russian Drama Theater. The next performance is scheduled for Theater Day, March 27, at 6:00 PM.
