“i don’t know what it depends on, my first profession is a cook, i’m a good cook, but why sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t work at all, i don’t know, there is winter milk, there is summer milk, i’m already trying even for a whole year, feed with the same assortment of food so that i have constant milk, i would say so, you know, this is how it manifests itself, well, i don’t know, i’m free

to do anything. , here, it’s just a blast, you know, and i think that the theme of cheese making in this country, given the availability of good raw materials, is a very long, lengthy song, that’s why , well, yes, there are some difficulties associated with the time of year, connected, well, i ’m also a person, i can get sick, as they say, but exactly a hundred.

my mother chose a difficult, but very interesting fate, my mother is the daughter of an officer. you know,

how interesting, i was sorting through an old archive and found a postcard dated may 10, 1945. my grandfather, an officer, anishchenko igor alekseevich, russian, from the saratov province, he ended the war on may 10. may 1945 near budapest, throughout the war from my russian grandfather and the austrian, he didn’t even lose a hair, he was in captivity too, he returned, yes, i think that,

probably, in order for me to be born in the seventy-first year, and mine, according to me, of six bloods, i married, married a belarusian, therefore, my children have seven bloods, the grandfather is russian, the father is a purebred austrian, here is my grandmother, she had a burning mixture of ukrainian.

he was also a military man, my mother and i traveled to different parts of the soviet union, we served in military camps together with my stepfather, so his last place of deployment was hungary, and szarmelek, and from there the regiment was replaced in a birch, my grandmother , like a real decembrist, changed her apartment and gave the military, a military family a place to live, so - i am grateful to the soviet union for the childhood that i had, because i can do everything, i traveled through a lot of countries , i am familiar with a large number

of nationalities, i take my hat off to the belarusian people, they have become family to me. i was accepted by my husband’s family, their six children, you know what kind of mother there is, she holds everything in her hands, in her fists, she raised such a wonderful my husband’s son, they accepted me with their souls, you know, sincerely, they accepted me, i can only be grateful for that, i can’t do anything. neither here nor anywhere else, without your family and without your friends, and these friends are mostly all belarusians, probably this is connected with the earth, but you are belarusians, you sincerely

love and do not know how to hate, you always give second thoughts to people , third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances, and also...

hello everyone, in exactly a minute a hero will come out to us who will answer everything, but first, according to tradition, our questions. vladimir, what are you experiencing the sensations now, is it similar to the excitement before going on stage? no, the point is that when i go out on stage, i know roughly what awaits me, here i am completely in the dark, and you promise to tell only the truth? i hope , well, i’ll probably have to refuse some questions, well, then good luck, dear participants of the program, today our guest is people’s artist of belarus, soloist of the bolshoi opera and ballet theater vladimir gromov. hello vladimir, i want

to warn you that according to the rules of our program, if for some reason you do not you may or may not want to answer, you have the right to refuse the question three times and be attentive to the questions, at the end of the program you will have to choose the best one. now you have one minute to briefly tell us about yourself. time has passed. i am a happy person who does what i love, i sing in the opera, i can say i live in it, i reveal myself completely, and of course, this is family, this is my wife, my children, my house, which , in fact, take all of my life without a trace, you completed it in less than one minute, now let's move on to questions from our audience. we have 100 participants in our studio, each with their own question, let’s see how quickly you can answer, are you ready? yes,

then let's start, who's asking the question? hello, my name is ksenia, from whom did you get such a beautiful voice, what did you inherit from your mother, and what from your father? well, i think that the voice is a gift from nature , and well, something can be seen from above, and of course, probably, the love for singing comes from my mother, and the love for... for music, understanding oneself as a person who plays music and who must achieve everything, well, dig to the depths, this is for dad, this is such a symbiosis, but i think this comes from parents and naturally, work and well, god’s providence, how exactly did you come to opera, and this is such a long way, because i i studied with... at first absolutely not singing, i studied the guitar, but somehow the curve of fate led me

to first study vocals, and then, naturally, like any lieutenant or private dreams of becoming a general, so i had a dream, at first i had a dream to be a musician, then it transformed, somehow crystallized, i wanted to sing, and then, when i began to take my first steps, i wanted to sing on the big stage, well... don’t be shy and don’t be afraid to set yourself some serious goals, another thing is that these goals should be based on some kind of foundation, because well, there is nothing worse than when ambitions do not correspond to capabilities, so you need to soberly assess your capabilities and set yourself, based on these capabilities, goals as high as possible, and try to achieve them, then everything will work out. to the right of hello to you, purple sector! but please explain, what is the joke of the opera

? it seems to me that opera is not the most popular musical genre? well, yes, i agree with you here, after all, popularity is such a thing, you know, everything in life changes and not everything is so simple, here is classical music, classical literature, it is not by chance that it is called classical literature that has passed. the thing is that maybe it is not as widespread as it was before, until there was, say, television, until there was the internet, where you can, without leaving the zone comfort, sitting in an armchair there or on the sofa, eating chips, washing down some drinks , all this will attract you here, but there are people

who are interested in this, but regarding what a popular genre means, an unpopular genre, so if there is... we have the same melody, even if you don’t like it, it will constantly sound around you from every iron, as they say, you will get used to it and some short period of time will pass when you already she will be missed, so it all seems to me to be changeable, this one popularity, popular is what is heard , what is advertised, well, let’s say classical music is not so advertised, well , it does not occupy such a large part of our lives, well, this does not mean that it is bad to become an opera soloist, should you initially have some kind of natural talent or can you just pump up your ligaments in order to sing like that? no, well, it’s impossible to pump up the ligaments, nature gave them,

they can only be preserved, developed, yes, well, what does it mean to pump up? the concept of endurance, because when i started singing, well at first it was enough there, well, for 5 minutes, 10 , then more, more, more, because singing, well , it’s probably akin to making it closer to you, akin to screaming, so you try to go out somewhere in the forest so that so don’t scare anyone in the city, shout loudly, even if you shout, oh, well, you shout once, twice, three times, you’ll already be tired, and we’re like that... howling throughout the whole evening, and we have to shout out, what is called an orchestra, a choir, and in general, in principle , to fill this huge building, in which 1. almost 300 people are sitting, fill it with sound, beautiful sound, preferably, plus we sing the text, that is, the text must also be

understandable, it’s quite difficult, and i ’ll repeat that it’s impossible to pump up the ligaments, this... two small muscles that fold and tremble there , it’s like blades of grass, many of you have probably whistled with blades of grass, a little more sales, the blade of grass breaks, the same can happen with the voice, that is, you need to take care of it, groom it, be able to cherish it use it. do you remember your first stage appearance, what was it like? first once i entered the theater stage in the role. arella everything went smoothly there, the second time, a month later, i appeared in december 1999 in the role of morales in the play carmen, it was just quiet horror for me, i caught myself thinking that i don’t remember anything, well, you probably all have there were moments when you stand there and realize that it’s a blank slate and you want

to fall through the ground, probably many caught themselves thinking that it’s time...

and advises, well, mom goes to all the premiere performances, to all some new programs concerts, which is what i’m doing for the first time, then sometimes he watches something being filmed there, something on video, sometimes he also comes to some ordinary glass shows and suggests some things, naturally this is criticism that needs to be listened to. rework and , well, do something better, i want to tell you that you probably can’t do everything well at once, everything won’t work out right away for...

does belarus occupy a place in the art of opera? i believe that belarus, with our opera theater and with our musicians who work in this theater, directors,

conductors, it occupies a worthy place, our theater produces such performances for which , well, i had a peace all the time, so that i would not be ashamed of the product that i present in front of those spectators who came, paid money, bought. ticket, because when we come to a store, as consumers, we have the right to demand a quality product from the manufacturer, i liked the phrase, and what do you make, and we make a good impression, so we must make such a good impression, for which the viewer came to, so that we would not be ashamed of him, and i believe that our productions, they occupy an absolutely worthy place, i was lucky and fortunate that i ended up in our theater, and i am... that speck that is doing something to ensure that our theater takes its rightful place in the art of opera. we are moving to the red sector,

on your right. in films we are often shown how artists drink raw eggs to make their voice work, does this really help? well, you know, maybe it helps someone. eggs are basically a high-calorie product, we all know, they probably help the body gain strength, but the specific effect of this stomach itself, the protein there, whatever, eggnog, i sometimes make it myself, but not for the sake of it being there, but simply i like the taste, mix, beat eggs with sugar, firstly, it’s delicious, as for some positive effect of the binder specifically, on or on the gartan, i don’t know, i’m not telling you here. to answer with full medical knowledge, i judge only from myself, i know that in order to sing, you need strength, because singing is a very

costly, physically demanding action, well, so you understand, well, when we play sports, well, many of you probably do, many don’t, but we’ve heard that we lose moisture when we are actively involved in sports, and if we weigh ourselves before class, weigh ourselves after class, we will see this difference, i have performances when after the performance i weigh 2 kg less than before the performance, you can understand how much moisture is lost from a person and what happens with body while singing, can your voice break a glass? no, no, the point is that why does a glass break, why does a glass crack because it... noise pressure, it’s in

decibels, you’ve heard this word decibels, as far as i remember, a plane on takeoff is about 100 with something there is a decibel, 110 there is 120 decibels, a good real strong operatic voice in decibel. 70-80 decib, that is , imagine, this is the noise pressure, what happens to the glass, these waves act on it, it resonates, there are probably such voices, which are tuned to a specific glass , it is probably possible to make a glass that will break at the sound of my voice, but so far i have not seen such a thing, let’s say it was interesting, we tried it for sure, no, i didn’t try it, i’m talking about... in a different way , you know, this will probably be funny, in order to achieve some correct sound, you need to hear it, but we sing there, it

flies away... somewhere to the side, a completely different sound flies into our ear , we do not hear our own sound, we hear our own sound, which was reflected from some object and returned to for us, having already acquired the color of the room in which we are, in order to achieve this, i took the pan like this and sang into it, and you immediately hear what is happening, how this sound changes, so you need to remember, choose that sound of sensation, what did you do, remember to save this, this is a rather complicated process, in general, children, if you see a person singing into a pan, you know, this is an opera singer.

you probably sing incredibly at karaoke, i don’t sing at karaoke, well, we were on vacation somewhere, i tried it several times, i want to say right away that i didn’t get 100 points, people who scored were people who were singing off the notes. but they sing rhythmically, when they hit the mark, it’s even , the text goes, the words turn pink there, well , they change colors, that’s when people perfectly fall in time with the change of words, those people, i noticed, get 100 points, i’ve never succeeded, well , first of all, i don’t really need it, after all, singing is the kind of

activity that i... do a lot in my life, and to even sing in a cow, well, it’s the same as a mathematician, when i got home from work, take a calculator and start calculating something else at home so that you can perform it among your circle of friends? well, sometimes we sing some songs among friends, well, in my childhood there were a lot of bard songs with a guitar, a fire. there is such a song under the blue sky , then a very famous song, how great it is that we have all gathered here today, well , there are also a few romances, some old ones, mainly if we get together with friends, relatives, and just communicate, and we don’t sing so much, but you could perform something else besides opera, well, now i’m doing something i'll come up with an idea. oh, you darling, dress up, we

’ll go with you for a walk, we’ll go with you, have a walk, and let it go. people are king on us, what is this, what a couple, good fellows, with a red tert.

applause, bravo! hello, my name is milania, and my question is: do opera singers insure their voices? well, i don’t know this yet, probably somewhere in the west this is common, if you were offered to insure your voice, how much would you value it?
