I have...complex feelings about Maxim playing both Thingol in Leithian and a Feanorian (not sure if it's Celegorm or Curufin) in Finrod Zong. Sure he plays Finrod also, but that's not my point.
My point is:
I can see Thingol in Maxim's face.
But i can also see Feanor, when Maxim is shouting the oath while wearing his red feanorian costume.
Feanor and Thingol sharing a face is, for me, an unsettling thought.

Hi there! So, to whom it may concern, as they say.
Finrod is finally being livestreamed. And you get to be sent a recording after the fact for an additional fee.
WHEN
There will be two shows on 23rd October (4 pm MSK and 7.30 pm MSK), and both will be livestreamed.
WHERE
You can buy the access through a post on bootsy. Then you have to leave a comment to that post on bootsy which livestream you would like to see and whether you want a recording after the fact. The recording will be sent to you in 2 months after the show.
HOW MUCH
One livestream costs about 20 dollars, additional fee for the recording is about 10 dollars.

QUESTIONS AND DISCLAMER
Any questions you have feel free to ask Oleg Markelov on bootsy through DMs and/or comments, or on his VK page if you happen to have an account there.
I have nothing to do with Eterius theatre or Finrod’s creative team. All information above i got from an official Finrod newsletter and from Oleg Markelov. I’m just a fan who decided to share some fun stuff with you guys. :)
MY THOUGHTS ON CAST (SORT OF)
I am not big on musical theatre, my knowledge usually ends on Finrod XD
The leading man Yaroslav Bayarunas (both livestreams) is a renown musical actor, but i’ve never seen him on stage, alas, excited to see him as Finrod though!
Elena Bakhtiyarova (both livestreams) is an amazing musical actress, I’ve seen her in Phantom of the Opera, and she is a terrific Luthien. Gotta see her as Galadriel too (2nd livestream)!
Highly recommend to see Maxim Rakovsky, our usual Finrod, as Celegorm (1st livestream), i’ve seen him play the part once, and it was damn terrific!
Mikhail Sidorenko (2nd livestream) is the best Sauron i’ve seen on stage. Yes, he is better at it than even Seraphim, go get me.

Here, abandoned in the snow,
A servant for anyone,
By an unknown path
I went toward you alone,
To learn what fire burns
In the eyes of the Aftercomers!

In response to your question asking about a list of Russian rock opera related tags to block, following are the ones I'm aware of.
lol the rock opera, lay of leithian the rock opera, lay of leithian rock opera, Лэ о Лэйтиан, finrod rock opera, finrod the rock opera, finrod zong, beren and luthien equestrian musical, and Сказание о Берене и Лютиэн.
If you want, here are the tags used to identify the main actors in each: maxim rakovsky, Максим Раковский, mikhail potekhin, Михаил Потехин, vilena sokolova, Вилена Соколова, yaroslav bayarunas, Ярослав Баярунас, andrey birin, pavel dorofeev, emil sales, alexander rychkov, daria burlyukalo, and evgeny egorov.
Finally, I have noticed another Russian rock opera show up with these that isn't a Silm adaptation. The tags for it are the last trial (this one could block some book material, though), the last trial rock opera, and Последнее испытание.
(Oh, I do know there are Czech Silm rock operas as well. If you want to know what those are, I found a list of them here: https://www.tumblr.com/tarrevizsla/695742787110502400/czech-tolkien-musicals-directory-musicals-by?source=share )
I hope this helps!
thank you so much anon! i didn't expect someone to actually show up with the list, it's very kind of you 💛
and yes i'm aware of the czech musicals! they are on my watch list :D
