The death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky, an opera singer and People's Artist of Russia, is a great loss not only for his family and entourage, but also for the opera world. Colleagues and friends of the artists are talking about this today, expressing condolences in connection with his death.

Soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Dinara Aliyeva, who worked with Hvorostovsky, admitted that until recently she did not believe that her colleague could die so suddenly.

“I can only say that we have lost a great singer, a wonderful person, a friend, a world personality who made a huge contribution, he made a huge contribution to the world opera culture and also in the world and in Russia. I think that for a very long time we will not have such a singer as Dima. He was still a very close friend to us, I was lucky to be on the same stage with him ... I express my condolences to all his family. This is terrible news. Just somehow unexpectedly ... We all knew about it, but until the very last moment we didn’t believe that it would happen, ”Aliyeva told Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.

The message about the death of the artist was also commented on by another colleague of Hvorostovsky - singer and composer Alexander Gradsky... He told the RT channel that he was "horrified" by the news about the death of Hvorostovsky, with whom he had previously communicated well.

The famous writer Daria Dontsova also responded to the news of the death of Hvorostovsky. She urged to remember that cancer is not always a sentence. And do not despair even with such a serious diagnosis.

I am so sorry that Dmitry Hvorostovsky died ... This is an insanely talented singer who personally brought me many minutes of joy when I listened to his performance. I want to say, my dears, despite the fact that lately we often hear about the deaths of famous people, oncology is being treated. And in order for you to be cured, the disease must be caught at the very beginning, in the first stages. Therefore, please just contact your doctor. Not when you have something sick, not when you are already being taken to the intensive care unit, but simply - for examination. Every six months. Take a blood test, do not spare your time and money. And if you find any disease, remember that at the very beginning everything heals well enough. Oncology is not a sentence in any case.

One more thing. Each of us has our own destiny, our own life. Never try on someone else's disease. If you suffer from oncology, or if you have someone with this diagnosis in your family, do not think now, remembering Dmitry Hvorostovsky, Mikhail Zadornov, Zhanna Friske, that this is your fate, that death is inevitable. If you still want to look at someone, to have an "example" before your eyes, then I will say the words that I never say to people, but in this situation I will say: look at me, please. Your happy future is most likely me. I love you very much. Your Daria Dontsova.

DOSSIER "KP"

One of the best baritones of our time, possessing a sensual timbre, possessing all the secrets of bel canto, was born into an average Soviet family. In Krasnoyarsk . Dad is an engineer, mom is a doctor. What's unusual? Only a unique voice that sounded very early. From the age of 4, Dima performed Russian romances and folk songs quite professionally. And while classmates were puffing over problems and equations, he played scales and sang in a music school. Maybe even then he understood: he has a different purpose. Or maybe I liked the music lessons better.

The singing technique was helped to hone the outstanding teachers of the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Arts. Chief among them is Professor Ekaterina Iofel.

Happy father with children (from left to right): Maria (daughter of the singer's first wife, whom he adopted), 21-year-old Danila and 21-year-old Alexandra (children from his first marriage with ballerina Svetlana Ivanova), 10-year-old Nina, in the second row - 15-year-old Maxim.

After the institute, Dmitry's career went like clockwork: solo roles at the Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theater, victories at international competitions.

In 1989 he won first place at the Singer of the World International Vocal Competition in Cardiff, Wales. What is behind this? Firstly, worldwide fame, and secondly, contracts with the best opera stages. La Scala, Theater Royal Covent Garden, Metropolitan Opera ... Any piece for any audience. Whether on a large opera stage, even in a chamber hall or an open-air concert. Hvorostovsky was able to do everything with his strength and talent: from the most complicated operatic parts to Russian romances, from Italian songs to Soviet hits. He sang romances by Fauré, Tchaikovsky, Taneyev, Liszt and Rachmaninoff. One of his favorite roles was Rigoletto in the opera of the same name "Verdi ... Once he threw out a completely unexpected trick - he began to collaborate with pop composer Igor Krutoy. Hvorostovsky released a clip" You and Me "for his song.

It seemed that life had given him everything with a full spoon: both talent, and his wife - a beautiful semi-French, semi-Italian Florence, and five children in the shops. Not to mention the fact that Hvorostovsky himself looked incredibly impressive not only on stage, but also in life. Strong, handsome, dives into an ice-hole, walks on a boat along the Yenisei. And suddenly an illness ... A few years ago in Moscow, his concerts were canceled due to problems with his voice. Then no one suspected anything fatal - problems with the voice of opera performers happen. But two years ago, like a bolt from the blue, Dmitry was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Everyone believed that he would cope with this misfortune too. He is strong, he is a Siberian. Alas, the disease was stronger.
