hello everyone, in exactly one minute the hero will come out to us, who will answer everything, but first, according to tradition, our questions to the hero. vladimir, what feelings are you experiencing now, is it similar to the excitement before going on stage? no, the thing is that when i go on stage, i roughly know what awaits me, here i am in complete ignorance. and do you promise to tell only the truth? i hope so. well, i will probably

have to refuse some questions. well, then good luck, dear participants of the program, today our guest is the people's artist of belarus, soloist of the bolshoi opera and ballet theatre, vladimir gromov. hello, i want to warn you that according to the rules of our program, if for some reason you cannot or do not want to answer, you have the right to refuse a 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 about yourself: time has started, i am a happy person who does what i love, i sing in the opera, in it i, one might say, live, open up completely, well and naturally, this is a family, this is my wife, my children, my home, which

take up, in fact, my entire life without a trace. you did it in less than a minute. well, now let's move on to questions from our audience. we have 100 participants in the studio, each with their own question. let's see how long you can answer. are you ready? yes. then let's begin. who is asking the question? hello, my name is ksenia. where did you get such a beautiful voice, did you get it from your mother, and what? from your father, well, i think that the voice is a gift from nature, and something is visible from above, and of course, probably, the love of singing is from my mother, and the love of music, the understanding of myself as a person who is engaged in music, and who must achieve everything, well , dig to the depths, this comes from my father, it is such a symbiosis, but i think it is from my parents and...

naturally, work and, well, god's providence. how exactly did you come to opera? and it is such a long path, because at first i was not engaged in singing at all, i was engaged in guitar, but somehow the crooked fate led me to first engage in vocals, and then, naturally, like any lieutenant or private, dreams of becoming a general, i had a dream. at first there was a dream of being a musician, then it transformed, somehow crystallized, i wanted to sing, and then, when i started taking 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 foundation, because well, there is nothing worse than when ambitions do not correspond with...

you need to soberly assess your capabilities and set yourself based on these capabilities as you can set goals and try to achieve them then everything will work out to your right, the purple sector. hello, and please explain what the joke of opera is, it seems to me that opera is not the most popular musical genre, well, yes, i agree with you here, popularity is such a thing, you know, everything changes in life and not everything is so clear-cut, here is classical music, classical literature, it is not by chance that it is called classical literature, which has stood the test of time, generations, changes in fashion, all the same this interest in this genre, in opera, it is still present, another 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 your comfort zone, sitting in a chair or on a sofa, eating chips and washing it down... attract all this to yourself here, but there are people who are interested in this, and regarding what a popular genre means, an unpopular genre, if we have the same melody, even one that you, it will not be 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 will no longer have enough of it,

so try to go out somewhere in the forest, so as not to scare anyone in the city , shout loudly, even just shout au, well, you shout once, twice, three times and you will already get tired, and we shout like that throughout the entire evening, and we have to shout down, what is called the orchestra, the choir,

and in general, in principle, fill this the building is huge, in which sits 1 thousand almost 300 people to fill. its sound, beautiful sound, preferably, plus we sing the text, that is, the text must also be understandable, it is quite difficult, well, and i repeat, that it is impossible to pump up the ligaments, these are two small muscles that fold and tremble there, it is like blades of grass, many of you probably whistled like blades of grass, a little louder even the blade of grass breaks, the same thing can happen with the voice, that is, it must be protected,

that i do not remember anything, well, you probably have everyone had such moments when you stand and understand that it's a clean slate and you want to fall through the ground, probably many have caught themselves thinking that time, at this second, at this instant, it becomes somehow incomprehensible, either it is rubber and stretches, or it is compressed, and you are standing in this state of timelessness, when all this and you just want to fall into hell. well, thank god, all this knowledge skills, here the mechanisms of some developments are already included, what is called, what is brought to automatism, the same here the mechanism happened to me at the performance

of carmen, i took this step, i thought, well, whatever happens, here's a clean sheet, i go out on stage, then everything turns on, like at the wave of some... he comes and praises and advises, well, mom goes to all the premiere performances, to all the new concert programs, what i 'm doing for the first time, then sometimes she watches there, something is filmed, something, well, on video, sometimes they also come to some ordinary shows and suggest some things, naturally this is criticism, which well... is necessary listen, process and well do

something better, i want to tell you that probably you can't do everything well at once, everything won't work out at once, for this you just need to be, probably some julius caesar, but we are not caesars. vladimir, i'll ask you to turn to the right, yellow sector, hello, your childhood was different from the usual, you had many friends, well , basically my childhood. it was different only in that while many boys played football, went to sports sections, i went to music school, well, music lessons, they imply long-term sitting at the instrument and learning the program or practicing some exercises, of course i missed that, i see that all my guys are playing football or riding bicycles or climbing construction sites. but now i probably feel more free in the sense

that i am doing what i love. what place does belarus occupy in the art of opera? i think that belarus with our opera theater and our musicians who work in this theater, directors, conductors, it takes a worthy place. our theater produces such performances, for which, well, i have always had as a measure, so that i would not be ashamed of the product that i give out to those viewers who came, paid money, bought a ticket, because when we come to the store, as consumers, we have the right to demand a quality product from the manufacturer, i liked the phrase, and what are you producing, and we make a good impression, so we must make such a good impression,

raw eggs to make the voice work, does it really help? well, you know, maybe it helps someone, eggs in principle are a high-calorie product, we all know, probably, they help the body gain strength, but the specific effect of this yolk itself, the protein there, whatever , eggnog, i sometimes make it myself, but not for the sake of it, but i just like the taste, mix, beat eggs with sugar, firstly, it's delicious, uh, about some positive effect,

specifically ligaments, here or on gartan, i don't i know, i can’t answer you with a full medical report, i can only judge by myself, i know that in order to sing you need strength, because singing is a very expensive, physically expensive action, this is, well, so that you understand, well, when we play sports, well, many of you probably play, many don’t play, but you’ve heard, we lose moisture when we actively play sports, and if we weigh ourselves before classes and weigh ourselves after classes, 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 to the body - during singing. and can your voice break a glass? no, no. the thing

is, why does a glass break? a glass cracks because the walls of the glass enter into resonance with some sound source. the singing sound, it is loud due to what? there is such a thing as noise pressure, it is in decibels, you have heard this word decibels. in our country. as far as i remember, an airplane taking off is about 100 with something there decibel, 110 there 120 decibels, good, real, strong opera. voice in decibels 70-80 decibels, that is, imagine, this noise pressure, what happens to the glass, these waves affect it, it enters into resonance, probably, there are such voices that are tuned to a specific glass, probably, it is possible to make such a glass that will break from my voice, but...
