Honorary Medal of the Irina Arkhipova Foundation

Talent and success are actually daily painstaking work, and the main component of success is to set ambitious goals for yourself. She told the correspondent "Moscow-Baku" soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Dinara Aliyeva, who always keeps her native Baku in her soul, and at every opportunity visits her beloved city with her family.

Dinara, tell us, what interesting things will the historical stage of the famous Bolshoi Theater show with your participation this season?

Very soon, from 15 to 19 July, the premiere of G. Bizet's opera "Carmen" will take place. I sing the part of Michaela, and the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Elchin Azizov is Escamillo. The part of Michaela has been in my repertoire for a long time. We have rehearsed a lot and are looking forward to the premiere. The audience loves the opera Carmen very much.

- To be a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater is probably the dream of every young performer.

I always try to set ambitious goals for myself. That is why at one time I went to conquer Moscow, the Bolshoi Theater. True, I already had experience behind me, for two years I performed solo parts at the Azerbaijan Drama Theater of Opera and Ballet named after M.F. Akhundov. But there was some kind of inner confidence that everything would work out, if you like - intuition. Today my life is entirely connected with Moscow. This is where I live and work. Lately, I have received many related offers from the most famous theaters in Europe, but I am in no hurry. There is a saying - "the best is the enemy of the good." And work in the famous Bolshoi Theater is a serious responsibility. But if they invite me to perform in Azerbaijan, then I definitely try to include a tour in Baku in my schedule.

- And why did you connect your life with music, is it a genetic propensity?

You can say so. I absorbed music with my mother's milk. My family, parents, grandparents, all were related to music and performed on stage. But since childhood, I had an understanding that just being talented is not enough. Any profession in music is painstaking work, constant rehearsals. I will even say more - complete dedication is required, if not self-sacrifice. It is also important - to believe in yourself, and, in spite of everything, go forward - for your dream! Fame and success are all many days of work, and luck is the result of constant work for the result.

- With which of the stars did you cross paths on the stage?

I regularly perform at the largest festivals of academic music in Russia - at the Denis Matsuev and Yuri Bashmet festivals, at the Vladimir Spivakov festival in Colmar ... Many of the world's most reputable musicians come to these music forums, with whom, as a rule, there is that warm collegial communication.

- There are rumors that you are going to open a school for Dinara Aliyeva...

This is in the long term. Everyone asks me where I teach children and youth. Therefore, I see here a new field of my activity, but these plans are a little later. I myself am a graduate of the famous Azerbaijani school named after Bul-Bul in piano and conservatory, where I studied in the class of the famous singer Khuraman Kasimova. As for short-term plans - I try to perform at various festivals, travel with solo programs around the world. I am pleased to realize that after my concerts people have an interest in the culture of my country - Azerbaijan, and in Russia, where I live and work. I love Russia very much. I try to adequately represent Russia and Azerbaijan on tour around the world, not only as a singer, but also as a person in everyday life. And the most important, complex and long-awaited project for me now is the creation of my own festival.

- It is interesting…

The work on the festival is almost completed. We have planned concerts so far only in Moscow. In the future, I would like to include in the festival orbit and St. Petersburg, Prague, Budapest, Berlin. The international music festival will be called "Opera Art". And next autumn, as part of the festival, I will perform with the State Orchestra of Russia and the famous conductor Daniel Oren. Together we conceived the Puccini Gala program. Concerts with the Russian National Orchestra are planned under the direction of Fabio Mastrangelo with the participation of famous domestic and foreign singers, among whom there will be many eminent opera soloists. With the State Orchestra under the baton of the wonderful maestro Ion Marin, who has long been loved by Muscovites, we will present a concert performance of Verdi's La Traviata. And with the world-famous tenor Charles Castronovo, we will give a concert that, I am sure, will delight Muscovites - because it will be a program that includes famous Neapolitan songs and incendiary Spanish zarzuelas. With Castronovo, by the way, a DVD will soon be released with a recording of Puccini's The Swallow at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, directed by Rolando Villazon, where I sing the title role of Magda, and my partner is Charles Castronovo. Among the plans that have almost come true is the release of a new CD with the wonderful, world-famous tenor Alexander Antonenko. And, I hope, there will be new parts in my favorite Bolshoi Theatre.

- What drives you?

Love… I am madly in love with opera art. I can't imagine myself without singing and the stage. This, perhaps, for me now is the most important thing in life - serving the art of opera. But, of course, my family and the love of loved ones are very important. And yet ... You know, you always have to have a dream in your heart. You can’t stop, you need to believe in your star, your destiny, then you will achieve any goals ... For example, I would very much like to take place, in addition to the Bolshoi Theater, on other leading world stages, including the most prestigious ones. But if we talk about a cherished dream, then today I would like to reach such a creative level, such mastery in order to touch the souls of people with the music that I perform, to remain in their memory. To be the one who is truly remembered, who is cited as an example for future generations. Of course, there are few such people. But to be among them and enter the history of music is my dream. The dream drives me, and it helps to realize many ideas that at first seemed completely unrealizable.

Azerbaijan has always been famous for its voices. The birth of talents, in my opinion, is facilitated by the southern climate, natural artistry, the temperament of the nation and even nature - the sea, the sun. All this gives not only good ecology, but also a gift for singing. And now I meet a lot of young vocalists who have excellent talents, a wonderful singing apparatus given by nature. But they lose all this very quickly, and the reason is poor-quality teaching. The singer needs school, skill, the ability to handle the voice and an understanding of his potential. All this should be taught by a competent teacher. And in the field of academic vocals in Azerbaijan there are few such people, and the level of teaching classical vocals is constantly falling. And I absolutely cannot single out any of the new female voices. It seems that apart from me, none of the opera singers in the international arena represents Azerbaijan ... But there are male voices. My partner at the Bolshoi Theater Elchin Azizov actively performs both at the Bolshoi Theater and on the largest stages of the world. Almost throughout Europe, Avaz Abdullah sings. Serious prospects have a novice young singer, a trainee in the youth program of Milan's La Scala Azer Rzazade. Of course, I communicate with many young singers of Azerbaijan, I always try to help both in deed and advice. Of course, they all dream of a big stage, I hope that some of them will achieve international recognition.

- Do you manage to visit Baku with your family?

Of course! We often visit, I periodically give concerts, somehow I sang with Placido Domingo in Baku. I became a laureate of his competition and, as one of the most creatively interesting contestants for him, I was honored to perform together with this great singer. I am happy and proud that this took place at home. And I always look forward to meeting with my native Baku.

- How do you remember the city of your childhood, Baku?

Oh... when I return to Baku, I always get so nostalgic! The city today has changed incredibly, it has become very beautiful, stylish in a European way. But, despite all the reconstruction, some incredibly warm, welcoming atmosphere has been preserved. A sort of aroma of southern hospitality, which seems to be in the air and fascinates everyone. My childhood and youth were spent in the center of the city, not far from the historical quarters, and for me these old, winding streets, this historical Baku is the real homeland, the color and originality of which are forever preserved in my heart.

- You are a stunningly beautiful woman, do you have a standard of female beauty?

Thank you for the compliment! .. In female beauty, I think, not only external data are important. A beautiful face, a stately figure, good manners - all these are undoubtedly important components of female beauty. But, no matter what men say that they prefer to love "fools", the beauty must have intelligence and horizons. I will not talk about the mind - let this quality be the prerogative of men. But here is the inner content that fills the beautiful shell, this is necessary. And the standard in such a combination of an appearance inspired by inner burning for me has always been Maria Callas ...

I remember that I was incredibly flattered when, after performing at the Callas competition in Athens, the press compared me with this great singer and even somehow called me “the second Callas!” In general, on the topic of what beauty is, there is a wonderful quatrain from the beautiful and undeservedly little-known poet Nikolai Zabolotsky. These verses are an exhaustive answer to the question of beauty:

“…what is beauty?
And why do people deify her?
She is a vessel in which there is emptiness,
Or fire flickering in a vessel?

- Are you familiar with the First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva?

Unfortunately, I did not have the honor of being presented in person. However, I admire the numerous initiatives that arise due to the attention of the first lady of Azerbaijan to culture and music. I see how much new things are happening in the art of the country and I am proud that my Motherland is one of the most progressive republics in the post-Soviet space, in my opinion, in the development of socio-cultural policy. Believe me, I travel a lot, tour, and there are no such projects as I see in Azerbaijan, aimed at the field of art, perhaps nowhere else! With the support of Mrs. Aliyeva, a huge number of music schools have been created, the material base of which can be envied by other universities. The Mstislav Rostropovich International Festival is being held in Baku, the Gabala International Classical Music Festival is gaining momentum, which attracts the largest artists from all over the world, the issue of reconstructing the oldest opera house is being resolved, and a number of large cinema and concert complexes have already been built that meet the most modern requirements for scenography , where the most serious creative projects, both pop and academic, will take place. The holding of the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku also contributed to the promotion of musical art... With the assistance of Mehriban Aliyeva, a lot is being done to ensure that art in the country meets the international level.

- Do you keep in touch with relatives in Azerbaijan?

The people closest to me now live in Moscow, but many friends, good colleagues and acquaintances remain in Azerbaijan. I feel how wonderful the Azerbaijani public treats me. Finally, there are the graves of ancestors, a father who, unfortunately, left us very early... All these are inseparable ties that cannot be broken. So Azerbaijan is always in my soul!
