Interview with Alexander Zatsepin

Alexander Sergeevich Zatsepin is a legendary composer, who wrote music for more than 120 films, the author of more than 300 songs, many of which literally became iconic. It is absolutely impossible to imagine our life without Zatsepin’s music, and this is a rare case when the words “a man known and loved by millions” are pure truth.

Earlier this year, in March the composer turned 97 years old, but he continues to work every day! On December 23, 24 and 25 in Moscow, on the stage of the Central Academic Theater of the Russian Army, the premiere of the musical “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” will take place with lyrics by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and music by People’s Artist of Russia, composer Alexander Sergeevich Zatsepin.

The premiere of the musical “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” became a wonderful opportunity to ask the maestro a few questions about creativity and life.
