The Maksakov family is unique in that nature does not rest completely on children. Everything is working and laboring. From grandmother, people's artist of the Soviet Union, to her granddaughter, her full namesake Maria Petrovna Maksakova, who also has mezzo-soprano, also a soloist of one of the country's leading theaters.
The uniqueness of the Maksakov family
But the family is also unique in that, unlike many famous creative dynasties, talent and success are transmitted here so far only through the female line. Mom - Lyudmila Maksakova - People's Artist of the RSFSR, a leading actress of the Vakhtangov Theater. All of these women, except that they are very talented, as evidenced by the awards and love of fans, are also very beautiful, self-sufficient and incredibly able-bodied individuals. It so happened that responsibility for the fate of children always rested with them. There is no need to talk about the fact that they coped with this perfectly.
Asterisk birth
Maria Maksakova-Igenbergs was born July 24, 1977 in West German Munich, because her father, a physicist by profession - Peter Andreas, a native of the Baltic States - at that time was a citizen of Germany. The best source of information about this extraordinary family can be a story written in a good syllable (which indicates good literary prospects), an autobiography created by Maria Maksakova herself. From the essay you can find out that in the Sidorov family (grandma’s maiden name), women's names alternate from the mother of the first Maria to the daughter of Maria Igenbergs - Lucy (Lyudmila).
The continuity of generations
And so it goes - Maria, Lyudmila ... The last Lyudmila is the charm itself, and this is not just a bow to the family: a beautiful girl is really incredibly spontaneous, natural and charming. It is worth seeing how she reads the great poems of Pasternak in the program of Timur Kizyakov "So far, everyone is at home." Interesting details are given that only
family members can know
, for example, about the complete fear of the grandmother’s pre-war life, which was saved from arrest (after her husband) and physical destruction only because Stalin really liked Maria Maksakova in the role of Carmen. According to contemporaries, he often attended this performance when his "beloved Carmen" sang.
Interviews and memories are the best sources of information.
Obviously, this great-power sympathy also played a negative role - in 1953, she, People's Artist of the RSFSR, three times Stalin Prize laureate, holder of several orders, without warning, was dismissed by mail from the Bolshoi Theater, of which she was the lead soloist. Yes, some vivid details can be found only from family sources. What words can describe the feeling of paralyzing fear in which Maria Maksakova lived? Her memory of how, after the death of her first husband - the leader, mentor, Pygmalion, as his family members called him - she destroyed in the pan his real passport of a subject of Austria. This horror is behind ... after all, any of the frightened neighbors could have reported smoke, burn Maria Maksakova’s document for no reason. We all learn from the granddaughter’s same story that the illustrious surname, known to the whole world, is the pseudonym of not the grandfather, but the first husband of the genius grandmother.
Peculiar surroundings
It is clear that talented and beautiful women always attract attention. Naturally, the house was always full of interesting people. Therefore, the biography of Maria Maksakova, 77th year of birth, is so interesting. In the same interview, she recalls how big the stars visited their house, what famous, and not only in Russia, people visited them easily. That is, what others read with interest, in this house the air was saturated, transmitted at the genetic level.
What is hereditary intelligentsia
And then, how much easier it is to learn languages, if your dad speaks German, you continue to study in Italy, visit all countries of the world, and your head works well! In this case, the possibility of learning foreign languages ​​becomes natural. Although, as Maria Maksakova herself says, in this regard she is degrading. Because the paternal grandfather (worked as a consul in the Czech Embassy of Latvia) was fluent in 9 languages, her father was 7th, and she herself was only 5th. Everyone would be so degraded ... In addition, their cottage in the Bullfinches (the neighbor was Ivan Kozlovsky!) Was visited by all representatives of the cultural elite of that time. However, the magnificent foundation itself is not enough; a person must himself be a Person.
Amazing performance
The biography of Maria Maksakova screams about her own extraordinary. She completed all stages of music education, including graduate school under Gnesenka, in 2004 with honors. In addition, in 2002, the singer, among the best students (this is documented), graduated with
honors from the Moscow Law Academy (criminal law), after which she worked as a lawyer for some time. Even with an ingenious mindset and amazing memory without a very great industriousness, this is impossible. And in the distant 1994, Maria Maksakova, a world-famous deputy and opera diva, graduated (probably also with honors, otherwise she cannot) the school of Vyacheslav Zaitsev models.
You will not list in total
The more you read about this outstanding woman, the more you are surprised - she manages to act in films, and quite successfully, in films (the number of films is already close to ten), she is the permanent presenter of the Romance of Romance column on the TV channel Culture, she is the director of the public Foundation named after her grandmother. This foundation seeks and supports
talented children. Its center is located in Astrakhan, from this city and the singer ran in 2011 on the lists of United Russia (second place) in the State Duma. In the same year, according to the singer herself, her dream came true - she was accepted into the troupe of the Mariinsky Theater. Prior to that, she performed the best parts on the best opera stages in the world, and worked on a contract at the Bolshoi Theater. She was a soloist with the New Opera and Helikon-Opera. Maria Maksakova is also involved in the development of modern musical techniques in order to popularize classics and sits on the jury of television contests. Calls for the revival of patronage in Russia. And this is an incomplete list of her affairs. I wonder if there is a personal life of Maria Maksakova?
But what about life partners?
Yes there is. And a very interesting life, however, like everything connected with this woman. Young, beautiful, charming, outstanding - how can she not like her? In addition, Masha is successful, and success, as you know, attracts. Therefore, the names of one or another businessman are periodically associated with her name. It is difficult to imagine what features a man must possess in order to be worthy of such a woman as Maria Maksakova. Husbands, at a minimum, should not be completely lost against her background. In some interview, the singer herself said that she had never been officially married. We will not focus on this either - it wasn’t, so she doesn’t need it. Watching her, you can be sure that Maksakova is a cheerful and cheerful person. It is not surprising that one of the fans, seeing her on the TV screen, fell in love and stubbornly sought location until his name was used as the name of her husband. That's it ...
Genes are a great thing
One more unexplained question remained - the children of Maria Maksakova. They are familiar to a wide viewer in the program “So far, everyone is at home”. And, apparently, nature does not rest again. Of course, Ilya and Lyusya live in even better conditions and interesting surroundings than their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. It should be so. It can be seen that the mother worships them and is closely engaged in education. Children are aimed at a worthy continuation of the glorious dynasty.
As far as one can judge by the transmission, they are instilled with the desire to be the best of the best, and the realization that this can only be achieved through work, sometimes excessive. It’s good when the talent was given to you by nature, passed by inheritance, and thus determined the path from the first years of life (absolute hearing, voice, etc.). Son Ilya repeatedly performed with his mother, and separately, accompanied by an orchestra. He is also engaged (obviously with his grandmother) in drama lessons. And even won the city reader competition. Agree, this is a great joy for the mother's heart. The little sister is trying to keep up with her brother - she is engaged in music (harp) and gymnastics. A separate word deserves the music festival held in Astrakhan named after Valery Barsova (color soprano) and Maria Maksakova, who was from these places, where even the square and the street are named after her.
I would like to emphasize that, as a strong and independent personality, Maria Maksakova-Igenbergs is not afraid to defend her point of view. Even if she runs counter to the majority opinion, she abstained on some issues when everyone voted “For”.
