Balzaminov’s Marriage (1992)
A. Katz produced “Balzaminov’s Marriage” as a sad, Gogol-like story about a poor dreamy boy Misha Balzaminov who was portrayed by M. Vaskov as almost a poet, artless and gentle. M. Aronova in the role of Belotelova made her first appearance on the Vakhtangov stage, still being a student of the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute.
