Opera Studio
There is an opera studio in the Novosibirsk State Conservatory named after M.I. Glinka. It began as an opera class, which appeared immediately after the opening of the educational institution. There was an association at the department of opera training and solo singing. In 1964, they created an independent department, and work intensified.
An opera studio with its own choir and symphony orchestra was created in 1969. In 1970, the first performance took place. The studio was named "Chamber Opera Theater". Today it operates under its original name. The main repertoire consists of Russian and European classics.
The student theater carried out all-Russian premieres, including “Confused Parnassus”. A number of significant performances were also staged at the opera studio, including: Feast during the Plague, Lisitsyna, Freedom Shooter by Weber, Secret Marriage by Cimarosa.
The opera studio has become the starting point for the creative activity of many now famous singers, leading soloists of foreign and Russian theaters. For many years, the leader here was Eleanor Titkova, professor and honored artist of the Russian Federation. Since 2014, the studio has been led by Dmitry Suslov.
