Marina Meshcheryakova biography

Tags: interviews, opera “I have drug addiction. From the opera ”in just six years, Marina Meshcheryakova made a brilliant career in the West, where she is almost the most popular Russian singer today. Marina performed at four Salzburg summer music festivals. None of our compatriots have been honored so far. Add - and in general, in order to sing. She is always ready for this and considers fantastic hard work one of her most precious qualities.

Any theater is intrigue. And every day you need to prove that you are worth something. It is difficult in the American theater: you feel tough competition. The singers can do everything there - they have no idea “I can’t”. They are like terminators. They constantly breathe in your back and believe that everyone who works under a contract takes their places. Therefore, you have to work at all two hundred percent.

One must be impeccable in the style, language, and the image in European theaters not so hard. And on December 26 she already sang Antonida in Susanin. Then there were parties of Martha, Violetta at the Vyxford festival of little -known operas in Ireland in the year I performed the party of Tamara in the opera Demon Rubinstein. The audience staged a standing ovation.

It was so unlike my ordinary life that I wanted to continue. But for another two years I felt like Cinderella after the ball - nothing happened until I received the first prize at the Belvedere competition in Vienna. I feel like a happy person. My first teacher is absolutely amazing - Elena Ivanovna Shumilova. At one time, she was one of the leading dramatic soprano of the Bolshoi Theater.

Her image is always with me, and he is in the halo. When I go to the conservatory in Moscow, I always look at the windows of the Class Class where she worked, and a lump in the throat. Albanese, the lyrical soprano of the Metro-Opera, the favorite of Tuscanini himself, also determined my fate in many respects. With her, we worked out Belcanto. It was under New York. The Italian teaching method uses the Lychia: the teacher and the student communicate all the time - they live side by side, prepare together, etc.

She taught filigree singing technique, liberated me, forced the body to be an impeccably obedient tool. The third name is the loudest - Bolshoi Theater. This is my native theater, where I got to my feet. He is for me like a living creature of ten Verdievsky. At the end of March, I will sing in New York in the last composer’s operator’s operator, “Falstafa”, and in May, for the first time, Elvira in “Ernani” in Naples for the first time.

Each performance is like an exam, as if rushing at the embrasure. This is a whole milestone in my life. The norm is the most difficult batch in the soprano repertoire. We sang in Berlin during a tour of the Stockholm Royal Opera there. At the first performance, the Swedes put their performers, but there was a failure. The next day we sang. The curtain bowed 24 times.

Did you still have a similar triumph? In Paris, at the play "Don Carlos".

Eboli sang brilliantly Olga Borodina. Just brilliant. I did not hear the best eboli - in style, phrasing, sound. Our beautiful tenor Sergei Larin performed the title party. I sang Elizabeth. We understood each other from one glance, from one gesture. A precious harmony arose on the stage, do you think that you risk it, performing it? And these are all lyrical soprano.

There is a tendency to lyricism in the world. Fashion is changing. It all depends on the taste of the conductor. Elizabeth is a suffering and suffering soul, this is our poetic Tatyana. The sense of duty in these heroines always exceeds the feeling of love. I sang Elizabeth in many theaters, and she was always my “trump card”. I am often offered by such dramatic parties as Aida, Longing, Leonor in the "power of fate" is great, especially when outstanding conductors and directors invite, but I have to refuse.

We must protect the voice. This is Rosa Ponsel, an American of Italian origin. She sang with Caruso in the 20s. Was a unique norm. She finished her opera career at the age of 37 - she had a fear of the stage. Excellent records have been preserved. Maria Kallas, hearing them, said that there was no soprano equal to Ponzel. Her unique voice has a cello velvet sound.

Another idol is the unique Mirella Freni. Persons like her appear, I think, once a century. Freni is an amazing musician and a standard in everything. A unique soul is a person. An amazing woman. Its guts are read literally from the first note, and most importantly in life for her is a family, then work is already going on. And I, carried away by a new idea, I can throw everything and fly, where my name is.

Singing for me like a drug. When she began a singing career, she worshiped Tamara Milashkina. I studied at the Volgograd Music School in the piano class, although I seemed to sang for six years. Somehow I came across a record with opera arias performed by Milashkin. She learned them and dared to go to Moscow to go to the conservatory. I was accepted for the preparatory department.

It was then that I realized that the opera-my vocation love Makvalu Kasrashvili-an amazing singer. In the Mariinsky Theater - Olga Borodin. Her Mezzo-soprano, in my opinion, is now the number one in the world.Unique Soprano Galina Gorchakova Mom with my summer daughter Nastya - from the vein where we live now, the husband - from Moscow, dad - from Volgograd. And how many of them were at your first solo concert at the Bolshoi Theater last April?

I called them, they postponed their affairs and arrived to support me. When I sing, he sits opposite and listens carefully. But seriously, these are the Austrians and Germans. They usually wait at the entrance, ask for autographs. This is not even in the Metro-Opera. After the tragedy that happened on September 11, the audience is not allowed to the artists there at all. I am friends in Vienna with Monika and Albert Rogans.

She is a fashion designer, it comes up with excellent stage costumes. He is a member of the government, royal blood flows in his veins.
