Gorny. In 2012, the production received the most prestigious award in the Russian Federation theater—the Golden Mask. TV channel Moskva 24 reported that "The ever-busy Muscovites not only find the time to watch this four-hour-long play," but even form long lines to buy the expensive tickets. Postnov’s contribution to the theater, —in addition to his translation of Camu’s Caligula, include an original play called Ernst, Theodor, Amadeus. Postnov’s fairy-tale-like play explores the last year and death of the German Romantic and storyteller best known as E.T.A. Hoffmann (the author of The Nutcracker).
