WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE KEY TO A PERFORMER’S SUCCESS?
Hard work. Certainly, having a great voice and striking features is very important — but I don’t think that’s enough for a performer to be successful. One has to work hard, believe in themselves, and stay strong even if things are looking down. To my mind, a passionate desire to achieve something coupled with diligent daily work on self-development is the key to reaching any goal. The way to the top may be long and difficult — but with enough effort, nothing is impossible.
HOW DO YOU GET READY FOR A PERFORMANCE?
Going up on stage is a great responsibility to me, so I’m quite anxious no matter what. The key is to keep that anxiety from turning into panic that would make me lose touch with reality. I need to focus and prepare for my role mentally. Of course, my partners on stage are of great help, as is the audience. When you’re performing, you feel absolutely delighted by doing your favourite thing in life well enough to make the listeners happy. It is an otherworldly feeling, and it is an incentive for further growth.
WHAT DOES MUSIC MEAN TO YOU?
Music is a cure for many troubles in life; it is medicine for the soul.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST IN WORKING WITH MUSICAETERNA?
The unlimited creativity, the opportunity to develop myself and realize my true capabilities, and the incredible feeling of living and breathing music as part of this ensemble.

Hændel. A Dedication Ceremony to George Frideric Handel
Ceremony

The musicAeterna Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Teodor Currentzis, present in Moscow an updated concert version of the programme “Hændel. The Dedication Ceremony to George Frideric Handel”. It combines fragments from English oratorios and Italian operas by Handel. An anthology of theatrical music by one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era is performed on historical instruments and in the Baroque style. The concert’s full dramaturgy adheres to the principles of the ancient extravaganza, characterized by its illusory, multifaceted nature, a constant play of scales, and focused attention to voice and space.

The soloists for this large-scale project — performed in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Perm, Thessaloniki, Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona — are young and promising singers participating in the first enrollment of the Anton Rubinstein Academy.
