Singer Dmitry Hvorostovsky died in London. Dmitry Hvorostovsky: biography, personal life, creativity Hvorostovsky opera singer biography

Dmitry Hvorostovsky is one of the most famous opera singers of our time. His dramatic baritone intoxicates and bewitches, the intonations of his vocal parts make their way to shiver. The singer's track record includes a huge number of awards and titles: People's Artist of the Russian Federation, laureate of the Glinka Honorary Prize, winner of the Opera News Award, an international award given for contribution to opera art.

Childhood and family

Dmitri Hvorostovsky, who was born into an intelligent family from Krasnoyarsk, received his first music lessons in early childhood. His father, a chemical engineer, always cherished the love of singing in his heart. As Dmitry himself recalled, Hvorostovsky Sr. had a beautiful deep baritone. In addition, the boy's father knew how to play the piano perfectly, and therefore music always sounded in the house of the Hvorostovsky family. In the personal collection of Alexander Stepanovich (namely, that was the name of the father of the future singer) there were many rare records. Among them were albums by Tito Gobbi, Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Ettore Bastianini, Fyodor Chaliapin, Mario Lanza... No wonder Dmitry fell in love with the classics at a young age.

As Hvorostovsky's relatives noted, he decided to sing for the first time at the age of four. Soon, little Dima, together with his father, began to master the piano and entered a music school without any problems. It is noteworthy that the first teachers saw in the boy a future great pianist, and not an opera singer at all. As for the general education school, everything was not so rosy. In the senior class, Dmitry was written such a devastating characterization that he preferred to forget his school years as a nightmare.

Many advised him to enter the Krasnoyarsk School of Arts, where they have been cutting musical talents since the beginning of the 20th century. However, unexpectedly for everyone, Dmitry chose the local Pedagogical School. Gorky, which was considered less prestigious, and was much further from his home. Here the future singer received the specialty of a music teacher. At the same time, he began to get involved in newfangled musical directions, among which was hard rock.

For some time, Dmitry Hvorostovsky performed with a semi-amateur musical group, and then decided to apply to the Krasnoyarsk College of Arts, which at that time acquired the status of an institute and became known as the Krasnoyarsk State Institute of Arts. The young man aspired to get into the class of Ekaterina Iofel, a world-famous teacher who brought up more than one future genius of opera singing. Under the guidance of this sensitive woman, Dmitry studied the features of operatic vocals for several years. As the musician himself admitted, he carried the advice and instructions of the institute teacher through his whole life.

Professional career

Dmitry Hvorostovsky began his career as an opera singer on the stage of his native Krasnoyarsk, at the local Opera and Ballet Theatre, where he performed from 1985 (he started in his third year at the institute) to 1990. Soon he became a recognized star of the Krasnoyarsk stage and appeared in almost all major productions of the State Opera and Ballet Theater: The Queen of Spades, Iolanthe, La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, Eugene Onegin, Faust, Pagliacci.

Soon, Hvorostovsky's talent was also noted outside his native Krasnoyarsk. In 1987, he became the winner of the All-Russian Vocal Competition, and a few months later - the All-Union Vocal Competition named after. M. Glinka, which took place in Baku.

Soon Hvorostovsky began touring extensively in Russia and other republics of the Soviet Union. In 1988, the young singer made his debut on the European stage - Dmitry Hvorostovsky performed the part of Yeletsky from the production of The Queen of Spades on the stage of the Nice Opera House. In the same year, the jury of the international competition in Toulouse gave the Russian performer the main prize.

But that was only the beginning. In 1989, Dmitry Hvorostovsky received the Grand Prix of the Cardiff Voices international competition. From that moment on, the whole of Europe started talking about the young opera singer. Hvorostovsky destroyed stereotypes about how an opera singer should look like: an athletic body in a neat tuxedo and an ashy mane of hair even brought him a place in the ranking of the most beautiful people in the world according to People. By the way, Dmitry's hair turned gray very early - the genes "fell out" so much.

In the future, the Russian performer received engagements in world-famous opera houses. His voice sounded from the stage of the Berlin and Bavarian State Opera, the London Royal Theater "Covent Garden", the Milanese La Scala Opera, the New York Metropolitan Opera. At home, the St. Petersburg Mariinsky Theater, the Moscow Novaya Opera Theater and the State Kremlin Palace became the venue for the performer's concerts.

Personal life of Dmitry Hvorostovsky

There were two main women in the life of a famous opera performer. The first wife of Dmitry - Svetlana Ivanova - was a ballerina of the Krasnoyarsk theater. Their acquaintance took place in 1986, and three years later the couple legalized their relationship, although Hvorostovsky's teacher urged him not to do this. The singer even adopted Svetlana's child from his first marriage. And in 1996, the couple became parents twice - the "royal couple" was born, the twins Alexander and Danila.

Outwardly, the marriage seemed calm, but in 2001, after 15 years of marriage, it broke up due to Svetlana's betrayals. According to some sources, Hvorostovsky almost got on trial because of a fight with his first wife's lover. According to the terms of the divorce, the woman was entitled to annual payments of $190,000, as well as a luxurious house in London. In 2009, the ex-wife of the singer sued to increase the amount of alimony and won the case - from now on, Dmitry had to pay the ex-wife 195 thousand pounds a year. On December 31, 2015, Svetlana died of meningitis and acute sepsis.

She brought new colors to Dmitry's life, pulling him out of the hopeless abyss of sadness after breaking up with Svetlana. For the sake of her lover, the girl learned Russian. The singer's family accepted her as their own. In 2003, their common son Maxim was born, and four years later, the lovers had a daughter, named Nina.

Artist's childhood

People's Artist Dmitry Aleksandrovich Hvorostovsky was born in Krasnoyarsk in 1962 into an intelligent family. His parents did not have a professional relationship with art, but they had a passion for music.

Dad worked as an engineer, but he was very fond of singing, had good vocal abilities. He has amassed a large musical collection of recordings by famous singers. Most likely, his love for music and operatic singing was passed on to his children.

Alexander Stepanovich's wife worked as a gynecologist, but she also loved music - at her leisure, the whole family attended concerts and theaters.

Dima from the very beginning of his life was immersed in the world of wonderful sounds, he fell in love with music early. The boy began to sing at the age of two!

His beloved grandmother helped him in this - she had a beautiful voice, and taught her grandson to sing correctly.

Often they sang famous fragments from operas and simply folk songs in a duet. Classes served as a good lesson for the future singer.

Of course, Dima was sent to study at a music school, where he showed great success. After graduating from it, and also after receiving an incomplete secondary education, Dmitry did not hesitate for long in choosing a future profession. He immediately entered the teacher's college in the music department.

Carier start

After graduating from a secondary school, Dmitry entered the Institute of Arts, which is located in Krasnoyarsk. There he studied vocals with the teacher Ekaterina Iofel - she taught the future singer openness, spontaneity, and how to express her emotions correctly. If at first Dmitry thought only about the technically correct performance of the work, then she taught him to think about the expressive side.

Starting from the second year, Hvorostovsky began performing on the stage of the opera house as an intern. And later he was taken to performances already as a young actor. Of course, everyone immediately noticed his rare velvety baritone, extraordinary timbre and wide range of voice. The novice artist began to be trusted with serious roles in operas.

After classes with Iofel, Hvorostovsky no longer needed other mentors, since she taught him the most important thing - independent control over himself, over his feelings, voice.

By the end of his studies at the university, Hvorostovsky was already an independent and outstanding opera personality. He worked at the Krasnoyarsk Opera House until 1990.
