ON THIS TOPIC
Ivan congratulated Denis with paternity and asked a few questions about the child. Usually, Matsuev was extremely evasively spoke of this topic with journalists, but now finally stopped hiding the details. So, it turned out that the daughter he was presented by the ballerina Ekaterina Shipulin, it was decided to call Anna.

Denis Matsuev is one of the few performers of classical music whose popularity can compete with some pop stars. In the piano he is a virtuoso and genius, and in ordinary life - like one of us: loves to bathe in the bath, swim in Baikal, is sick for football "Spartak" and himself is not averse to drive the ball.
Matsuev for a long time was considered an enviable bachelor, disclaiming openly that he did not consider stamp in the passport something important.
Formation
Such a talent could be born only in a musical family: Denis's father - composer and pianist, mother taught the game on the piano in a music school. The family lived in Irkutsk until Denis was 15 years old. Then it became obvious that from a large place would have to break into Moscow - only there the boy could get access to the best educators.
The last argument in favor of moving for Denis was the promise of the Father, which he will be able to watch the game of the beloved "Spartak" right at the stadium.
"My parents are stunning musicians ... They went to unprecedented sacrifices for me: Throwing everything, moved to Moscow to live with me in a one-room apartment," said Matsuev. "In our family, nothing has changed: as it was, when I was sitting at the piano for three years and my dad was engaged in me, so, in general, and now."
In Moscow, Denis arrived at first to school at the Moscow Conservatory, and after a year he became a laureate of the International Charitable Public Foundation "New Names". So in the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, the first tour - Matsuyev visited more than 40 countries with performances and began to represent what his life in the future would be like.
After graduating from a conservatory, the pianist conquered the next vertex - won in the XI International Competition. Tchaikovsky. Then he will say: instead of watching the speeches of other contestants, he followed the matches of the World Cup - and it helped him win.
Since then, Denis Matsuev regularly gives several hundred concerts a year. It is difficult to find time for personal life with such a schedule - but it turned out.
Ballerina
Ekaterina Shipulin also moved to Moscow from the province and also went to the footsteps of the parents: the mother girl danced the ballet in Perm, and the daughter went further - and conquered Moscow. After graduating from the Moscow choreographic school, Shipulina accepted in a large theater, where she gradually reached the main parties.
Together with Katya, Denis Matsueva, in addition to music, also entered the dance.
"I'm seriously not believing for marriage with a stamp in your passport. I am satisfied with what happens to me now in my personal life, and I don't think about the stampe. Stamp and love do not always coincide, "said Denis in an interview with the" Snob "project, leaving the answer to the question of his personal life.
But the secret still became explicit. Increasingly, in infinite traffic offices, the musician was accompanied by Ekaterina Shipulin. Her own touring schedule was no less saturated, but the couple tried not to miss any opportunity to be together.
Once, between performances in St. Petersburg, he was given a window on one day - Shipulin at this moment was with a troupe of a large in English Nottingham. For a couple of hours, Matsuev managed to organize himself a flight to England, spent the day with his beloved and in the evening came back.
A family
The fact that the couple thinks about the child, the fans understood the cautious statements of Catherine about motherhood. Profession Ballerina often becomes an obstacle for a woman to give birth to a child. But Shipulin considered otherwise.
In one of the interview, she noticed that it was not afraid of difficulties that pregnancy could bring in her career. And he led to the example of his own mother - after the birth of two children, she managed to return to the scene.
In October 2016, Ekaterina Shipulin gave birth to Anna's daughter. To the question, how her appearance to the world changed his life, Matsuev is sadly joking - there is a chance only after 2021.
"Before that I already have, unfortunately, everything is painted. A simple example today: I flew from Tel Aviv, yesterday I had a concert with a chisel Meta, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, tomorrow I have a concert in St. Petersburg, in Oktyabrsky, we play a jazz program. Here I have time to come to my favorite studio (Evening Urgant programs), and there is an hour to see Anna Denisovna, "says Pianist.
Ekaterina Shipulin is one of the most striking and steadily luminous stars of modern Russian ballet. Without her gissels, Odettes, Odillia, Kitri, Egina and many other roles it is impossible to imagine the Bolshoi Theater's poster.
And her cheeky, dangerous and irresistible, dangerous, in the performance of the "Hero of our time" in Lermontov, became one of the main creative discoveries of 2015, for which Catherine, together with his colleagues, put forward on the "Golden Mask" premium. And Katya is a pretty, smiling, responsive person. So much that in a hot pre-New Year time, time went on the editorial office of "Labor" and talk with his correspondent.
- Where did you hurry from?
I apologize, actually ballet people - one of the most disciplined in the world. If you are late, it means quite a forcemage. And then suddenly appointed the costumes to "Don Quixhot", which is transferred from a new scene to historical.
- Are you there the main heroine - Kitri?
Yes, for 10 years. And before that, in this performance, all the way was held: and sat in the courtiers, and stood in the flowers, and was the Ladyman Dryad, and danced variations ...
- As they say, from ordinary to the general.
Absolutely. In the Bolshoi Theater, it was the Iron Rule: only the best children were taken from the release, but never put in soloists immediately - only in the corps. And you stood there, I sat, danced. Watching the folk artists - Nina Ananiashvili dancing, Nadezhda Gracheva, Anna Antonicheva, Galina Stepanenko, Alla Mikhalchenko, Nina Semizorova ...
Itself in parallel with the solo parties, they looked and after that they gave some of them. Either did not give. That is, the possibility of creative growth was all, but they depended on you how to use it. In order for someone on a savage, the leading role - this appeared except for the most recent time. Of course, when you look at your way, sometimes it happens sorry - because even then I could dance so many roles! On the other hand, it was a wonderful stamina school.
- Probably, for you, the Main Event of 2015 has become a party of Undines in the "Hero of Our Time"?
You know, everyone, even an ordinary performance - an event that can be outstanding, if all - and your partners, and the corps are connected in a single impulse. This is such a stunningly emotional performance for two weeks ago "Legend of Love". She did not go for a long time, everyone missed her, in the hall the challenge, there is the author himself - Yuri Nikolaevich Grigorovich. I danced Mehmen Banu, and the batch of Shirin in our composition first performed Anastasia Stashkevich. Maybe therefore there were more rehearsals than usual, we all tried to support Nastya so that it was comfortable, not scary, not worrying.
But of course, the world premiere is something special. Preparation of a work that is specifically conceived for the Bolshoi Theater, no one danced it to you - always interesting, although sometimes the difficult process is unbearable. It is important that the artist for 200 percent performed the task of the balletmaster, and did not complain: oh, it hurts me here, uncomfortable, do not like ...
The selection of artists was engaged in choreographer-director Yuri Storky. I have already had the happiness to work with him, to do completely new productions from scratch, "Magritomania", "Cinderella" ... Therefore, his choice has accepted unconditionally. Although, when the compositions were hung - Bal, Undina, Princess Mary, Vera - some soloists were frustrated: why not me - Princess Mary? Yura answered: Yes, this princess was given to you, you will be much more interesting for the party, believe me. Moreover, the Pechorin never loved her ... Of course, it was risk and courage - it seems to me that no one has previously tried to interpret Lermontov in a ballet language. In my opinion, it turned out very well.
- Many surprised that in addition to the choreographer, the director was also the director Kirill Serebrennikov.
Kirill did not interfere in the technical ballet part. Only sought to ensure that there was more continuous action, and not just a number of concert numbers. I suggested some things emotional plan - where to make a sharper, where romantic ...
- In my opinion, you, a person is energetic and active, the first is closer.
Many people think so. Because, for example, "Giselle" I danced later than the "Swan Lake" or "Don Quixote". Although it usually happens on the contrary, this performance is considered less complicated. There really do not have super suites, crazy rotations, as in other performances. But his complexity of another plan is emotional. At 18, this will not understand this, you do not feel. My teacher of Tatiana Nikolaevna Golikova dreamed that I was in "Giselle", but the dream came true after Tatiana Nikolaevna did not ...
Many fans, not doubting my technique, but knowing my temperament, feared: Well, how will the gissels come out of the house, a non-modest peasant girl, but the lady's master of Willis Mirta. And they were delighted - I managed to break the stereotype, to prove that I can be a ballerina of a romantic plan. By the way, my mother Lyudmila Valentinovna Shipulin in 1993 received the Moscow Prize in the field of literature and art just for the performance of the Giseli party.
Previously, it was happening, dressed and the Odillia in the "Swan Lake" danced different ballerinas, so unfortunately an amplua.
Well, this has long been not. Although people are not too close to the ballet, still sometimes ask: what swan do you dance, white or black? And very surprised, hearing: the other. In fact, the ballerina in the "swan" is checked precisely on the "white" act. Of course, a purely "coordinate" Fuete in the party of Odillia is also important, but the main difficulties - the deprivation of the image, the "singer" of the hands is all dressed. Have you ever seen swans in life? It is a big, brave, even an aggressive bird. And after all, she, dressed, proved its strength, saved Siegfried. True, I could not save yourself.
From prini in the theater depends a lot? You, for example, can you approach the Director-General and ask for some kind of performance?
Theater is a very large and complex mechanism. We have 10 approx if everyone will approach and put their demands, no repertoire is enough. Of course, the artistic director of the ballet is trying to all be satisfied. But if, let's say, "swan" this month and next, it does not turn out to be one ballerina to dance both performances: others also have the right to this role. But you have a variety of: "Swan" will be "Spartak", then "Giselle" ...
- Could you dance anywhere outside the Big Theater?
No matter how pathetic it sounds, I am a big patriot. So since childhood they were taught: the native theater is an absolute priority in life. But, of course, I leave, dance in different parts of the world, one of my recent serious, big works - Anna Karenina with Boris Eifman troupe.
- In the Mariinsky Theater, you had to dance?
On the exit performances are big. And in your own statements, they are not very called us. More their artists go to us. Like half of St. Petersburg approx of us work.
- They say Petersburg is stronger than technology, and Moscow - emotional immediacy.
In my opinion, this is a myth. Moscow artists have the highest level of technology, and emotional expressiveness. Give God to the Petersburgers such. Maybe with the arrival of Nikolai Maksimovich Tsiskaridze to the Academy of Vaganov, something changes? I did in his class and know what kind of demanding. I wish him to add Moscow azart into a measured St. Petersburg ballet life.
The world of ballet is beautiful with its artistic results, but inside, it happens, they boil such passions - they can also splash in the face.
Balt age short. If dramatic artists have the opportunity to extend it with age roles, then we are harsh: 20 years, and you retire you. During this time, it is possible to dance as much as possible, work with different ballersters, ride around the world. From such a voltage - psychological breakdowns, injuries. You can not know how your body is tired and needs to be rest. He hurts - anointed, made an injection, was interrupted and went to dance.
- You also did not have the injuries?
One day, in the first act of Spartak, I lay after my solo on the floor, the partner must run up to raise me - but runs up so unsuccessful that it jumps right to my hand. At the moral and volitional effort, the performance did the performance - as was the hand not a leg, and again the author in the hall, Yuri Nikolaevich Grigorovich. And after he learned: a fracture. Then the whole vacation (it was the last performance of the season) went with a gypsum. And another time at the rehearsal, it was unsuccessful after the jump, and the injured knee brought me out of order for 13 months.
What about classic theatrical lobes, such as glass balls under the feet, as in the movie "Shugels"?
It's rather legends. On my century, if something like this happened, then, of course, not by someone's evil intent, but by chance. Real case: Ballerina had beads on stage, and I go out. Fortunately, the scene has a tilt, and all this quickly rolled to the orchestral pit. In the fact that some artist can consciously cut to you a ribbon on pointers or pour a puddle on stage, I do not believe. Before entering the viewer, all thoughts only about one thing - how he himself is worthy.
Nikolai Tsiskaridze (maybe in a joke?) Explaced his injury to the peak ladies, which deverted for the invasion of her fate in the play of Roland Petit.
In mystics, I also do not believe. For example, Dancing "Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God" of the same Petit, where I hang me on the gallows. In "Giselle", every one of us is dying ... so what?
The fact that ballet is beautiful, but cruel, can be observed on the ballerinas themselves. Missed everything is inconceivably beautiful, and you have to see also emaciated faces, and legs with curved broken fingers. But not you! How did you manage to save beauty?
Thanks to nature, parents. But of course you need to do something too. By the way, about the face take care of the last place. While you will make all the rehabilitation procedures - you go to the masseur, or to osteopath, if something flew out somewhere, came, either swim in the pool, getting up in the sauna or just sit in the bath at home - you just do not have enough time and Forces. The best medicine is just a dream, but it is catastrophically lacking.
And returning to emaciated persons is not only from the profession. More important character, which with age increasingly affects appearance.
- Judging by your fresh smiling person, you have a great character.
Not complaining!
- Your twin sister is also in ballet?
No, although we are from a ballet family. Anya is just 15 minutes older, but we are completely different characters. If I'm active, then it is much calmer. But when you have parents - dancers, there is practically no choice. In any case, we were not particularly asked to be with Anne, who we want to be when they assigned to the Perm choreographic school. In my childhood I had no skates, no bike - Mom believed that they were not growing muscles from them.
It was categorically refused to give me on figure skating - only ballet. Ballet children can be said, there is no childhood at all ... Then parents were invited to Moscow to Moscow, in the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater. Naturally, they took us with themselves and we were selected to the Moscow Choreographic Academy, but then the sister said that the ballet was enough from her. He studied in Gitis on the producer, now raging her daughter.
- Suitable for the new year, why you are not in the poster of the most fabulous performance in the world - "Nutcracker"?
I participated in it when only came to the corps. Then there was a couple of years in the six of the soloists. Then the "Nutcrackers" began not December 18, as now, and right from the 1st. Two performances per day! That is, they could be up to 30 pieces, despite the fact that you needed to work in other performances. I danced this waltz to the end of life.
But Masha, unfortunately, did not happen to cook. My height is a meter of seventy five, and for some reason it is considered that Masha should be completely a cheerful ... but, when the hell's hellish suffigation with these "shortcuts" -daders occurs from mid-December to mid-December to the middle of January, then I have a period of clock . Now, for example, before the New Year, it remains to me only one "light stream", and the next way out, the Swan Lake, already in January. I can enjoy preparation for the holiday, meetings with friends, campaigns in dramatic theaters, in the cinema, at the exhibition. Yes, just read on the sofa.
- But "Sleeping Beauty" is dancing. This is also a fairy tale, why not put it in the poster for the new year?
I do not know. Although this is a luxurious performance. And Cinderella was a stunning production, but now does not go. "Chipollino" is removed from the repertoire ... In general, there are a number of performances, it can be said, mandatory for the level of the level of big, but for two seasons there is no "bayader". "Corsaard" there is no season three. And when the last time "Raymond", I can't remember. Although, maybe my prayers are heard? It seems from February "Bayaderka", "Corsair" and "Raymond" again in our repertoire.
- It's not a secret - your friendship with Pianist Denis Matsuev. Did you meet a creative project?
No, just at the opening of the restaurant in common acquaintances.
- But did you have a joint speech?
Yes, in the draft American producer Sergei Danilian "reflections". There are 5 ballerinas, each of the number is one of 5 ballersters. My number set Canada Azur Barton. The pianist on the stage plays Tchaikovsky "Dumka", he is the same participant of the composition like a ballerina.
After the American premiere, we showed a performance in Moscow, and here Sergey says: That's great if Denis played ... I promised to ask - and unexpectedly Denis replied that on Saturday he "succeed." Of course, there was no time at rehearsal, we could only try to try the scene before the easiest way out. The pace in which we danced, Denis called the "guy" and categorically stated: "I will play as I say to Tchaikovsky." I had to mobilize the body. But what a surprise for the public!
Imagine, the light is fully repaid in front of the number, and here the searchlight highlights the pianist, then the ballerina comes out. Denis was not in the billboard, but of course he was immediately recognized, he went the rumble, the applause broke out. Already success! Yes, I also danced three times rather than was supplied.
- And they did not argue, did not say that you are inconvenient?
What is the right to download? I remember the response of Gennady Nikolayevich Christmas, conducted by "Nutcrackers", one ballerina, who asked: Maestro, could you play my variation remembered, I do not have time. He said to her: can't dance - goodbye, Tchaikovsky will cost you without you.
- Where do you meet the new year?
For many years we have met him together in Irkutsk, at the homeland of Denis, at its traditional New Year festival. And this time there will be music, dance, mandatory diving in Baikal.
- In the hole?!
What? Beautiful tradition. Especially for me, born in the Urals, where winter is stronger than Moscow. You get such a charge of energy, which is enough for all year. I can not imagine a New Year's holiday under the palm trees. Already a huge number of musicians, and ballet people thanks to Denis, this Siberian baptism has passed.
- What are you waiting for next year?
As they say, if you want to laugh God, tell him about your plans ... In our crazy world, everything changes so quickly that it is unrealistic to plan. The most important thing is health. If a ballet person has passed a year without disease and injuries, consider it successful.
