Varguzova Svetlana Pavlovna - famous Soviet singer, people's artist of the Russian Federation. Possesses a strong and beautiful voice of a wide range. She played dozens of key roles at the Operetta Theater. The article will describe a short biography of the artist.
Young soloist
Svetlana Varguzova was born in 1944 in Moscow. The girl’s family was musical. The father sang to the children in lyric baritone instead of Tchaikovsky’s lullaby from Eugene Onegin, and his mother delighted the ditties. The love of singing was transmitted to the Light. Even kindergarten teachers noticed her excellent vocals and advised parents to give the girl to the appropriate circle.
Initially, Varguzova performed at a professional level, bypassing amateur performances. In the school choir, Sveta was a soloist, and in the sixth grade she sang in a children's choir with Valentina Tolkunova. The team was led by Semyon Dunaevsky. The choir members developed voices and instilled an impeccable musical taste.
The path to operetta
Despite the obvious talent for singing, Svetlana Varguzova did not dream of a vocal career. The girl wanted to become a doctor. But the years spent in the choir took their toll, and after graduation, Svetlana entered the vocal department at the Musical College named after Gnesins. During the exams, the girl was offered to try herself at the musical theater department. The combination of acting and vocal skills prepared Varguzova to work in operetta.
When the girl was in her fourth year, the director of the Moscow Theater invited her to her troupe. Here Svetlana was lucky to meet Grigory Yaron - one of the founders of the operetta genre in the Russian Federation. The first few years she got minor roles in the crowd. The girl studied with Tatyana Shmyga (the main artist of the theater), and Svetlana’s skill grew exponentially. Now she herself is engaged in the training of new actors.
Svetlana Varguzova: personal life
The professional career of the heroine of this article was developing quite successfully, which can not be said about personal life. The first husband Varguzova was a choirmaster and gave her a lot in terms of music. But unfortunately, he could not stand the fact that his wife became more successful. Soon their marriage broke up, and Svetlana had to raise her daughter Anya alone.
After some time, Varguzova met at a concert with a professor of law Christopher Andriashin. Subsequently, the singer married him. The couple have been together for over thirty-five years. They had to go through difficult times, but they are still happy.
Anna (the daughter of Svetlana) often lived with her grandmother in her childhood, as busy parents were constantly traveling. She also has good musical data, but still the girl chose a career as a lawyer. Anna has two children. The eldest daughter, Ksenia, went in the footsteps of her mother and entered the law faculty. The youngest, Maria, performs on the stage with her grandmother.
Creative biography
At the beginning of her career, Svetlana Varguzova played a lot of students and production drummers. At that time it was connected with the ideological principles of the party. Naturally, those performances have long lost their relevance and disappeared from theatrical posters. Thanks to the roles played, Svetlana developed her talent and received brilliant roles in the future.
According to the actress, phased professional growth is quite useful. This does not allow the artist to burn out. And this often happens with those who quickly retrain into a star. Over the years, Svetlana Varguzova played in such productions as “Orpheus in Hell”, “Silva”, “Merry Widow”, “Bat”, etc. At present, the singer plays the role of a fairy in the children's play “Cinderella”.
Duet with experience
The creative tandem of Svetlana Varguzova and Yuri Vedeneev took shape back in the 70s of the last century. Directors for decades regularly involved this duet in their premieres. Yuri and Svetlana still play in the walls of their native theater and actively tour, collecting full houses.
According to Vedeneev, this indicates that the operetta genre will not die, as many critics predict. Svetlana Varguzova, whose biography is presented in the article, agrees with her colleague. The actress notes that people are tired of violence on the screen and gravitate to real music. Operetta is a genre accessible to everyone, because it introduces people to musical classics and is not primitive.
