There is an amazing cultural center in the capital of the Russian Federation. Its organization complies with the best world standards of our time. Despite his youth (a little over 15 years), this center is one of the most important theater and concert venues in Moscow.
Galina Vishnevskaya’s opera singing center is located in one of the most beautiful buildings of the “green street” of Moscow - Ostozhenka, near the Kremlin and other symbols of the capital. The location is very convenient, it is better to get from the station "Kropotkinskaya" or "Culture Park". The price of tickets is quite affordable.
Great idea
The Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center was opened in 2002 at the initiative of the singer herself. To open such an institution was her old dream. G. Vishnevskaya wanted to create a platform where her students could simultaneously learn and learn the basics of the profession, speaking in front of the audience. This idea is important and necessary for opera lovers and its performers.
There are performances in the hall of the Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center, her beloved students sang under the guidance of the founder, and now her like-minded teachers are engaged in them. Many graduates of opera universities in the capital, Russia and even the world are trained here, and later they become pearl artists among the opera houses of the world.
G.P. Vishnevskaya headed the theater until 2012. She also became the founder of several major contests and festivals.
A bit about the meaning
Now the head of the Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center is the daughter of the famous opera diva Olga Mstislavovna Rostropovich.
On the stage of the concert hall of the Opera Center during its existence, thirteen opera works by classical European and Russian authors were presented. European operas are represented by the works of Leoncavallo and Bizet, Gounod and Verdi.
In 2015, the opera "Iolanta" was restored, in which Vishnevskaya herself once performed the main part. It was her favorite party. When Galina Pavlovna staged the opera in 2006 at her center, she claimed that the main thing in it was accurate performance and complete immersion, and special effects were not needed at all.
In the audience’s reviews, there are some comments about the discrepancy between the age of the performers and the characters they perform, which somewhat distorts the ratio of the ages of the characters in the performances, but otherwise the perception of the performances is positive. Perhaps, the impression of the play "Town in a Music Box" stands out somewhat. In relation to this statement, there are a large number of negative reviews. Also, the lack of live music is noted as a minus. And as a plus - the interactivity of children's performances.
The Concert Hall of the Opera Center hosts numerous classical concerts. In addition, it is a platform for creative meetings with prominent representatives of culture and art, political and public figures. For example, a concert in memory of M. Rostropovich, captured on a photo of the hall of the Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center.
The Vishnevskaya Center is the initiator of various kinds of actions and projects related to instilling culture, love for opera, charity and promotion of talented nuggets to the population.
Patronage Initiatives
G.P. Vishnevskaya founded the International Festival of Opera Artists. Not only favorite singers of the singer, but also many talented young opera artists of different countries participate in it as contestants. The jury members are professionals in this field. In 2018, the festival was held for the seventh time.
The second important project of G. Vishnevskaya was “Youth Opera Assemblies”. Within the framework of the assemblies, not only gala concerts are held, but also master classes are organized with the greatest professionals in the opera scene. Amazing and unique performances by world celebrities make this venue extraordinarily attractive for lovers of classical opera music. According to numerous reviews from viewers? ballet performances on the stage of this educational theater are no less good.
