Scenograful Constantin Lodzeiski – promotor fidel al valorilor artei teatrale
Scenographer Constantin Lodzeiski – devoted promoter of the values of theater art

Summary/Abstract: Constantin Lodzeiski was one of the foremost theatre, opera, and ballet designers in the Republic of Moldova. He started his activity in 1947, when he was employed as chief painter at the State Dramatic Theater from Bălţi. Initially, C. Lodzeiski worked on the decoration of drama performances, which can be explained not so much by his interest in this type of dramaturgy, but by the lack of a musical theatre in the country, the latter being closer to his artistic nature. It was only at the end of the 1950s, when the State Opera and Ballet Theatre was established in Chişinău, that C. Lodzeiski began to work mainly on the stage decoration of musical performances. The adoption of the latest trends in the decoration of opera and ballet performances allowed C. Lodzeiski to move to a new stage in the development of the Moldovan scenographic art. Finding himself at the dawn of Moldovan Soviet scenography, the artist contributed to the development of new directions and principles for the organization of the scenic space and theatrical scenery, advancing the development of professional theatrical-decorative art of the republic. During his creation, the artist makes decoration sketches for over 100 shows from national and universal classical and contemporary drama.
