- Shostakovich’s surreal and brilliant first opera tells the story of a man who wakes one morning to find that his nose has gone missing

Shostakovich was only 20 when he began writing The Nose, his operatic debut. He turned to a tiny short story by Gogol: an absurdist satire, where a civil servant’s errant nose launches its owner on a ludicrous battle against both nose and the authorities, as bureaucratic processes break down in the face of so unusual a problem. Gogol’s surrealist fable fired Shostakovich’s imagination, and he responded with a work of exuberant energy, full of musical jokes and grotesque parody - from the famed Act I entr’acte for percussion ensemble to plaintive laments, careening counterpoint, folksong (accompanied by balalaika) and rambunctious polkas.
Shostakovich finished the work in about a year, and in the following months gave successful performances of extracts from the opera. But it was to be another two years, in 1930, before The Nose was staged in full, by which time Soviet cultural climate had turned sternly against works of such perceived frivolity. The opera was quickly dropped from the repertory; but since its rediscovery in the 1960s it has steadily gained recognition for Shostakovich’s baffling, brilliant wit. This new production is The Royal Opera’s first. Artistic Director of Berlin’s Komische Oper Barrie Kosky directs, fresh from his triumphant production of Saul for Glyndebourne Festival. The Nose is performed in English, in a new translation by David Pountney.

When that nasty cold is finally gone and you can breathe freely again
Since I'm sick, this comment totally made me laugh out loud, because it's true.
I'm getting very tired of these stupid "when" jokes
Frozen Pingu this is from two years ago
@a sock What's that supposed to mean xD
@a sock oh right
This is what Voldemort sees in his nightmare.
underrated comment
inside of Voldemort´s head: I take my foot, my little foot
2:27 Wait, the sleeping guy kinda looks like Voldemort...
dont say that name how DAREEEEE youu
Also shostakovich looks a bit like harry potter with glasses🙊 coincidence? I think not-
And now I am in the "it''s time to go to bed" section of youtube
Or "it's time to actually sleep" :s
Tell me about it. It's 5:52am here 😅 about to watch some tap-dancing noses

Oh... This post called me out at 3am...

THIS is why we need to support theater when it comes back
I do. But it’s not my fault that I’m forced to choose between seeing four smaller plays or one opera.
Amen brother.
Our ancestors created beautiful art, architecture, literature, dance, and music, which we enjoy as part of our collective human inheritance, but today we go gaga over "tap dancing noses" and cite them as a reason to support the theater. If by that you mean "to make theater better and get away from this kind of nonsense", then I agree. On par with tap dancing noses was an art installation at the MFA in Boston, Mass. back in the 1980's, which literally consisted of a pile of dirt on the floor. If you didn't "get it", you weren't in tune with "art". lol!
@@gunnarthorsen Theater can be fantastical well thought out pieces of art that dig into the issues plaugeing modern man, or it can just be "he he, the nose do a dance" and THAT IS WHY WE SHOULD SUPPORT IT
also I work in a theater and I need money 😭
@@gunnarthorsen r/woosh
Running noses - yes, my life's complete too .... simply stunning.
Do you have a runny nose ?
I bet it runs in the family.😊
@@LoriCiani snot true.
*Imagine if this was the only proof we had of our existence.*
Actually that would be awesome!
Than praise whichever god come to your mind for that.
The new creatures would be so confused lmao
That really made laugh
@@santanabigode Ditto!
All jokes aside, dancing in perfect synchronization with little to no visibility is impressive.
i guess that's why they're tap dancing, so they can here the rythm
...”Little to nose visibility.”
Also without musical accompaniment
It is nothing to sneeze at...
I think they can see. The front of the nose is more visible compared to the sides if u look Clos
“You chose such talented dancers!”
“Yes, we’re very careful when picking our noses.”
"...I...see! It err must be hard to fit in such candidate."
"Indeed since there are many runner up legs we have to pick out fresh for the best ones."
"....I suppose so. How well do the juries have to choose the top candidates?"
"Well, I suppose if the peformers simply have the best sneeze out, it won't be difficult to decide."
"....yeah....that's....interes...tiiiinggg."
"It is dear. And who nose those boot fellows can tap onto the goodie shoes."
😂😂🤣🤣👃

Shostakovich's father: I got yer nose! I got yer nose!
Young Shostakovich: *begins scribbling in notebook*
Funny, but actually not true. The opera is based on Gogol's book The Nouse
@@gorimikk shhhhhhhh
best comment
@@gorimikk "The Nouse"???
@@paulparoma lol whats so shocking?
I love how the audience instantly recognizes that this is part of its collective fever dream and they may as well just enjoy the insanity.
The real question is how do I audition to be a tap dancing nose
It's a very selective process
A Lonely Lizard You could say that they’re very picky

DANCER: i got a part in an opera at the royal opera house!!
DANCER'S PARENT: omg well done!! what is it?
DANCER: a giant tap-dancing nose
Still better than not getting a job on stage
A nose job.
At least its not a tree. No one likes being the tree
Also Dancers Parent: 👁👄👁
Better yet, mom, dad, I got a nose job!
Mom, dad: poker face.
Dancer: at the opera house as a tap-dancing nose.
'' So what do you do for a living? - It's complicated. ''
“U wanna see a dance.”
“Ye what about Swan Lake?”
“No no, let’s go see.... THE NOSE”

Same.
ohhh so this is were voldemort’s nose went
Maybe when he was tap dancing he was just calling his nose back... (only avpm fans understand)
Okay but this is a very nice one
Very underrated comment
This made me chuckle
AHAHAHAH 😂
How on earth this Opera was rehearsed without the cast holding back laughter is amazing.
Don't tell me drugs weren't involved when he made this
Just Sudafed.
It's called gogol-mogol.
Vodka and filterless cigarettes
Probably not. But maybe a lot of vodka.
Its vodka effect guyss... 🥱
Let's take a moment to appreciate the precise harmony and rhythm of these tap dancers. It's kind of an oddly satisfying video in disguise.
I clicked this video without realizing it was on 2X speed, and that was probably the greatest mistake of my life
Amazing
Watched it for the second time on 2x and it was the most amazing thing.
Now I have to try
So good so worth it 🙌
I just put it on 2x speed and it makes it even funnier
So I just made a playlist called "Why?" and saved this video on it...
please open it i want to see more why things
I need it-
I made one called The Cliffs of Insanity for the exact reason
Please share ...
i hope they dont "blow it"
Hopefully, but no one "nose"
You win.
That joke was a little on the nose! 🤪😂❤
Nothing to sneeze at. Sniff! 🤧
The one dancer running late...
I love Gogol and Shostakovich. Now I'll have to see the entire opera!
This is how I like to waste my time, watching noses with tap dancing shoes
LOL You can even wasted your time for the full version of The Nose Opera: m.th-cam.com/video/zOrjvU9bnms/w-d-xo.html

"Shostakovich’s surreal and brilliant first opera tells the story of a man who wakes one morning to find that his nose has gone missing"
It's the origin story of Voldemort.
“brilliant”
A fantastic surrealist story by Gogol. I love it
recently I listened to the original satirical story by Gogol. Didn‘t know there is an opera based on it.
HyAh Link sure lol
I remember just being traumatized by it when we studied the grotesque at school (the story, not this amazing tap dancing rendition of it)
Am I actually watching this or did I finally lose my grip on reality
My friend: I had a dream where I won the lottery!
My Dreams:
they should've worn green leggings
😂😂😂
please no.......
although It would make more sense because I kept seeing their legs as nostril hairs that were made out of skin.
too much info? ok
GREEEN SCREEEEN
brilliant XD
😂😂😂
I'm gonna try and convince my theater class to do this for our play this upcoming year.
a b s o l u t e l y .
Do it
Can you tap tho?
I'd read THE NOSE half a century ago but I never knew it was an Opera. I need to dig deeper into Shostokavich's oeuvre than the few works by him I know, and this opera needs to be a grand musical extravaganza of a Terry Gilliam movie... It's totally his kind of story!
no one:
not a single soul on earth:
*shostakovich:*
And Nikolai Gogol
me: haha nose
@@DmitriShostakovichDSCHThis was unexpected
Plants: release pollen
My nose:
Never in my life have I thought of seeing a bunch of tap dancing noses
Not heard of Nikolai Gogol's "The Nose" then? 😂
Honestly same
Welcome back to another episode of
"Why the h*ck is this in my recommended?!?!"
i'm starting to be afraid of you tube algorithm reading not just my mind but sub-mind or whatev... sitting up and watching me when i sleep...
They should have painted their legs green
🤢
Or just worn green tights *tight* tights.
Thanks I hate it

Oh god...
TH-cam: GIANT TAP DANCING NOSES
535.K people: i n t r i g u i n g
Because it's Shostakovich
I knew i loved Shostakovich for a reason
Finally we know where all the stolen noses of our childhood really are going
i read the title and saw the thumbnail but nothing could ever have possibly prepared me for what that was. There is absolutely no world where this is supposed to exist but somehow it's comforting that it does
1) THEIR THIGHS
2) Imagine telling someone you’ve finally made it and they ask what you do and you really have to look at them and say “I tap dance in a nose costume with my feet hanging out of the nostrils”
2:29 this has to be the funniest case of sleep paralysis of all time
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
Agatha Veemo ch. YES I WOULD LOL
Lol
This is my favorite part of Fidler on the Roof
I knew Gogol was weird, but Shostakovich just went to whole new level
It's not original from Shostakovich, this scene was created later
I gotta give props to the child dancer portraying the middle nose.👍🏼
Wtf is this, I wanna join
Here's the full opera:

who nose
@@Halfassedtea hahahahah
I knew there was an opera about a guy, whose nose walked away from him. I guess I just never thought about technicalities of it
And now for something completely different....
Imagine having that in your resume,
“Uh yeah, I was nose no.8 In this opera”
this is insanely impressive... wow. the footwork, but also no music, can't see well? amazing.
no one:
absolutely no one:
youtube reccomendations: giant tap-dancing noses
And this is what I call... A "running nose" Haha!...
Sorry I'll Go to bed.
Someone: I’ve got a running nose
Me, an intellectual: I’ve got a tap dancing nose
And your feet smell! :D
hahaha underrated comment
Humans are weird.
Also, why am I so fascinated by this..,
its official i've seen everything the internet has to offer
Dance is so classy and elegant
So many puns to choose from. Which one I’ll pick?
_No one noes._
NO
W h y
Oh, nose!
Wow dude now everyone NOSE who really BLEW it😂😂😂😂😂
I think the nose is the one that needs to be picked
This is MTE's nose 🤣🤣❤❤👃👃👃👃👃👃👃👃
They have more talent in their nose than I have in my whole body

Also that's what I suspectede (to quote joey heheh)
Мы в школе на литературе смотрели фильм "Нос". Я тогда опоздала на урок и пришла к моменту, где гигантский нос на ножках в пальто гуляет по Питеру.
В тот момент я тоже офигела, как и иностранцы под этим видео)
Opera: A beautiful, historic art form that can inspire the greatest emotions
Also opera: Noses go tap tap tap whee
This is one of those things you just don't question.
2:10 the best part
This is an adaptation of the Gogol story right?
Also, I bet this is what inspired the scene where sid the sloth becomes the fire lord in ice age
Yes; it's an adaptation of Gogol's "The Nose."
This is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen 😂
Maybe you haven't seen a lot of art then 🤔
Nah, I’ve seen a whole lot. This is definitely the most beautiful 🥰
Your taste is peculiar, to put it mildly 😅
@@virginiagood5067 imagine you got a sleep paralysis and the sleep paralysis demon is one of these noses😂
It's so weird, but accessible! Surrealism done in the best way.
Next step:
Masked noses dancing tap against a virus...
And on today's episode of where has quarentine taken me we have this.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
My last braincells before an exam:
If you look closely, you can see that the dancers are tapping the D S C H motif in morse code.
Johann Sebastian Bach 😂
Shostakovich, you sly son of a biscuit!
@@sophiatalksmusic3588 Well this is the same guy who insulted people in his music
THERE’S the Shostakovich we all know and love.
i'm so confused someone please explain
Welcome to the adventures of "Why was this in my recommended?".
Based on Nikolai Gogol's famous story, "The Nose."
This is truly one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my entire life.
No.....
And just when I thought my day couldn't get much weirder. . .
when you don't say bless you
If you're wondering what the hell is happening; this is loosely based off a fantastic metaphorical novel called "The Nose". It's basically about a guy losing his nose, trying to get it back, but it keeps getting itself in sticky situations, to the point when the nose becomes an aristocrat. The entire novel is a metaphor on emptiness and being in the lack of something essential.
I am not joking.
This is absolutely bizarre and I loved every minute of it!
God I hope they upload the full thing for their quarantine playlist, it’s all I never knew I wanted and needed
My friend sent this to me this morning. What a delightful and just incredibly brilliant dance (and welcome departure from the political and COVID ordeals)! Bravo!
My sleep paralysis demons be like:
Im a simple person, I see Shostakovich, i clicc
*Every cold medicine commercial ever*
When I read the title of this video I was like:
"excuse me, the what?"
The tap dancing was amazing, and the comedy was divine! Love it!
this was on my recommended and i am not disappointed in the slightest
I love these comments!
not to be nosey or anything
OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO FUNNY HAHA HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
The best comment ever, danke
Unfunny
hands.. uh, noses up if you've really got to study and it's way too late at night but instead you're here watching shostakovich's nose clone itself and tap dance
Can't wait to see these chasing me in my stress dreams, thank you for posting!
This.Is.Brilliant! Don't know about Shostakovich but Gogol would approve.
Brilliant! I 💓 💓 💓 Gogol’s story, and this ballet is the perfect realisation of it. Well done to whoever choreographed and costumed it, as well as to the precision hoofers!!!
My mom asked me what I was doing. I told her "drugs", because it seemed far less alarming than saying "I'm watching tap dancing noses."
voldemort has left the chat
And that's why we music teacher always recommend our students to visit the theatre. Opera is culture.
There needs to be a 10-hour version of this!
Whenever I feel sad, I watch the noses dance. They always cheer me up. 🙂
Didn't realize we were doing Fiddler on the Roof this season!
Honestly my favourite tap dance
