“SOPRANO Turetsky”: “We don't even have a normal personal life. A girl from Kuzbass Soprano Turkish appeared in the Turkish choir the personal life of the soloists

Yesterday I attended an interesting music show. I present to you the new choir of Mikhail Turetsky - "Soprano 10". The highlight is that the choir is composed of female voices. The idea is very original and the audience really likes it. I took one photo, because for reasons unknown to me, it was strictly forbidden to shoot. But the emotions from the music and the show helped to forget about all the photos.

Today "The Sopranos" is the only female musical group that has no repertoire restrictions: from "The Daisies Hid" to "Turkish March" by Mozart, from the classic "Casta Diva" to the permanent hits of Freddie Mercury, from the medley of ABBA songs to the musical "The Phantom of the Opera", from favorite Soviet and retro hits to world pop music.

Coloratura making you tremble (high behind the clouds), alluring mezzo (languidly low), dramatic crumbling pearls, pervading the soul of folk, turning the drive upside down, and also funk, rock, jazz, romantic - and all this is "The Sopranos". In the superlative tenth degree. Because they can do everything. With musical accompaniment and a'capella. They also have a live band with them - a red-haired drummer, an unrealistic pianist and brutal guitarists. The professional biography of the project includes touring tours in Russia and abroad, the conquered capital, participation as headliners in the most prestigious events, music festivals and fashion parties.

Musical audacity of professionals allows "Soprano" to make from their concerts an unforgettable brilliant show, a significant cultural event - a real holiday. After all, they, together with Mikhail Turetsky, who discovered the art-group genre in music, continue to promote good musical taste, brightness and talent.

Is it possible for the voice to convey the coolness of the green forest and the murmur of the stream, the gentleness of a summer night and the fervor of the holiday? Yes, it is possible. If it is Anya singing.

A piercing look, grace and maddening, deep, always memorable vocals - this is Daria Lvova. Such a girl is impossible not to notice. Especially on stage. She sings as she “breathes”, easily changing genres, moods, characters.

Mezzo soprano, electric violin
IVETA ROGOVA

She starred in films, worked in Lenconcert, created a rock group where she sang her own songs. In her voice - the chic of French cabaret, light jazz, smoothness and sophistication. And when Iveta plays the violin, the atmosphere in the hall is electrified and sparks from a luxurious instrument in the hands of a luxurious artist.

Her professional biography includes the best places in music competitions, work in opera enterprises and a solo career. Fragility, blond curls and dimples on the cheeks, combined with the flight of a voice somewhere behind the clouds, always make an unforgettable impression. A modern Turgenev young lady with an independent character, efficiency and bright personality. A representative of academic vocals, Olya sings with ease in pop works.

Summing up, I will say this is the best show this fall. If Sopranos 10 is on tour in your city, feel free to go, it's worth it!

Before the New Year holidays, the singers, together with their leader Mikhail Turetsky, gave an interview to StarHit, in which they shared why there is no place for intrigues in their team, when they manage to give birth to children and who resolves conflicts within the group.

- Girls, tell us how friendly the atmosphere in the group is? And then the women's team is often compared to a serpentarium ...

Iveta Rogova:- I can't say that the women's team is a snake ball. In our case, definitely not, because we have no time for envy and intrigue. We don't even have a normal personal life, we are at work. And, like real men, we forget about everything else. We cannot hide behind a phonogram, like many of our artists, because we always sing live. We have such plowing - we work on our teeth.

We have got used to each other over the years - after all, "SOPRANO Turetsky" has existed for eight years. Despite the fact that everyone here is creative and emotional, you gradually understand when it is better not to touch a person, and when it is worth supporting or, conversely, criticizing him so that he does not stop there and continues to develop.

- What causes conflicts? Who is the most emotional in the team? And who, on the contrary, smoothes sharp corners all the time?

Iveta Rogova:- When Mikhail Turetsky held the casting, it somehow happened that girls with a very masculine character were gathered. We are really all quite harsh, with a tough position and our own opinions. With us, misunderstandings are immediately revealed, conflicts are quite sharp, but they are quickly resolved by head-on conversation. For example, our girls work in parallel and study - some in "Gnesinka", some get a second degree. Therefore, there are delays. And then someone says: “Come on, I will not come on time either? And in general, let everyone show up three hours later. In short, either we all do not care about each other, or we are now coming to a common denominator. "

I'm quick-tempered. And I know that even if you said something, it's never too late to apologize. Otherwise, then you will engage in self-criticism.

- Is Mikhail Turetsky a strict leader?

Tamara Madebadze:- He is strict enough in his work, but not a tyrant. He always has his own opinion and position. But we sometimes use our charms, and he, like a real man, succumbs, softens, looking at us. Although he has one caveat. He works from morning to night and loves others to follow his example. So if he comes to us for a rehearsal, he will not let anyone go before.

- Mikhail, why can you scold the girls? Do you have rules that no one can break?

Mikhail Turetsky:- As in a large family, our holding has unwritten but strict rules: do not be late, do not drink alcohol, be in good physical shape. In short, do not waste yourself and your time in vain. This is necessary not only for me as a leader, but also for each of the artists in order to be successful for many years.

- Who is it easier for you to work with - the male Turetsky Choir or the female SOPRANO?

Mikhail Turetsky:- It's hard to compare. It seems to me that if you have the logic of your relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it is easy for you with everyone. Objectively, I cannot answer, because the Turetsky Choir is my brainchild, and I myself am the Turetsky Choir. I am a leader, showman, I sing myself and take part in the show. And in "SOPRANO" I am the producer, the creator of this group.

- Girls, tell us about your rider. Do you have any special requirements?

Each artist approaches the rider differently. The main thing for us is the desire to hold the concert at the highest professional level, and everything should contribute to this. We work live, therefore, we have high technical requirements for the concert venue. As for the everyday rider, everything is extremely simple. At the hotel we prefer to live one at a time so that we can fully relax before the concert. If we travel by bus, then a prerequisite is the absence of music in the transport. We also have such an unspoken rule on the road - "hour of silence". This is the time when we do not talk to each other, we save our voice so that by the evening we will be in the best shape. We are convinced that a woman, and even more so an artist, should be beautiful, slim and healthy. In our dressing rooms you will never see sausages, carbonated drinks, buns and, of course, alcohol. Only fruits in abundance, drinking water, cheese and fish. Ultimately, the most important thing is the happy eyes of our fans, the feeling of joy and satisfaction from creativity.

- The female body may be hardy, but still weaker than the male ... How do you recover after the tour?

Mikhail Turetsky always says that on the road, an artist must learn to meditate. I have mastered this method, and moving is no longer tiring. On the tour, we try to sleep normally, rest, accumulate energy for performances, we also take face masks with us, which help to relax and nourish the skin. As for the voice, it should rather not be protected, but trained. For so many years we have learned to hear ourselves, "negotiate" with our own body and prevent a serious cold. Therefore, we do not bring ourselves to the stage at which it is no longer possible to sing.

Tamara Madebadze:- As for the voice itself, every lack of sleep is reflected on it instantly. Flight, change of time zone, humidity, abrupt change of heat and cold - all affect the general condition and voice. We prefer moving at night, so as not to shake the bus before the concert. If it's really bad, then we treat the voices with medicines, inhalations, and call the phoniator to the platform. But the best way to let your voice rest and recover is to be silent.

- What about your personal life? Is it not prohibited under the contract?

Iveta Rogova:- In our contract there are no prohibitions on marriage and the birth of children, moreover, Mikhail Borisovich always tells us that a real woman should take place first as a mother, then as a wife, and only after that as a professional. Then she will be completely happy, self-sufficient and will be able to give sincere positive emotions to the public. We do not have such a problem, because there are many of us, and we can agree with each other - to go on maternity leave in turn. I can say from my own experience. I have a wonderful daughter Edita. SOPRANO has long been not just a team, it is my second family, in which everyone supports each other. Everyone was happy for me. And now we have one of the soloists on maternity leave - Valeria Devyatova- a month ago gave birth to a second boy. We combine everything!

- Are you all about the same age? Or is there a "senior" in the group?

Anna Korolik:- We all came to the team almost immediately after the institutes, so we are the same age. And at the expense of the "elders" ... Is this a trick question? On stage we are one team. As for everyday creative and organizational matters, here each has its own area of ​​responsibility: someone oversees the rehearsal process, someone style, someone makes sure that all creative tasks are planned and implemented on time. For everyone there is a matter in which he is "senior", and this is for the good.

- How many times a year do you have a vacation and for how many days?

Daria Lvova:- We have a very busy touring schedule, there are very few days off. Usually we have two weeks of vacation a year, but even then not always, so we try to combine business with pleasure. Sometimes, when we have free time during the tour, we gather and go for a walk around the city in which we are, we try to see all the monuments and sights, but if we also manage to go to the exhibition, this is good luck.

Iveta Rogova:- The best remedy for beauty and youth is sleep. But as a young mother, this does not threaten me even after the tour. There are tricks. Little life hack: to refresh your eyes after sleepless nights on the road, you need to paint the inner corner of the eyes with light shadows. I also love doing SPA pedicure. Feet after shoes with heels need good rest and care.

And I like it most when doing hair. After a stormy concert activity, hair restoration is a must. I am often complimented on the topic of beautiful, light and voluminous curls. I will share with you a secret. In order for the curls to be like that of a Hollywood star, they need to be correctly laid out after curling and then pull the core of the curl down with one hand and slightly up with the other.

- Mikhail, for what reason can one of the girls leave the group, break the contract?

Mikhail Turetsky:- We did not have such situations, simply because there are no contracts. I am probably the only producer in the world who does not sign contracts with his artists. Colleagues and friends say that this is too romantic a position, but the fact remains: we have no turnover, for many years the artists of the Turetsky Choir and SOPRANO have been successfully working together. Most of the choir soloists have been with me for over 20 years, these people are real fans of their craft! I selected the girls in SOPRANO for a year, listened to more than three hundred vocalists from all over the country, selected the best of the best. I was initially looking for the real hostages of the profession, those who live every performance on the rupture of the aorta. In addition, purely human qualities were also an important selection criterion: character, purposefulness, ability to work in a team. If a person does not want to create with you, then you need to let him go. It will be better for everyone. And it's not about the contract at all.

- You have a feminine kingdom at home and the same at work. How are you doing?

Mikhail Turetsky:- I have one useful quality that I began to develop in myself. It is called "the ladies' psychologist". As the father of a large number of daughters, it turns out that I did not know anything about women - until the moment I started working with the SOPRANO project. Then I realized that I need to understand with what baggage a woman goes through life, how she looks into the future, what her goals in life are. She wants to be ambitious and build something, or just wants to have a good time. A woman is a delicate matter, in which a lot is built on emotions. She needs a leader, a solid arm and a shoulder. Even if you are in doubt, you shouldn't show it to them. Girls feel confident in the future when a strong man is next to them. I managed to build such a model of an art group in which there is no conflict of interest. To maintain a healthy environment in the team, the artist must be properly motivated, motivated, and tried to anticipate possible disputes and prevent them. It seems to me that if you have the logic of your relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it is easy for you with everyone.

- Your daughter Emmanuelle began to sing. Do you plan to produce it in the future? Would you like her to be a solo singer or sing in a group?

Mikhail Turetsky:- I think Emmanuel is an incredibly charismatic and talented child, so, of course, I will be producing. I think she has a chance to be realized in both directions - both solo and in a group. Emma will take part in large musical projects with an audience of millions. She clearly has a predisposition to be a solo star. By the way, of all my daughters, Emma is the most musical. All my girls are creative, but she stands out. Now the younger, no less talented Beata is growing up, who is making her first successful steps in the world of music. Perhaps the girls will want to later create a group and call it, say, "Turkish Sisters."

- And now a question for the girls. Can you say that each of you is for all, and all for one?

Tamara Madebadze:- Definitely yes. Of course, we can argue among ourselves, seek the truth, but this is normal, of course, like in a family. Ultimately, everyone understands that everyone's success is the success of the entire team.

Valentina Oberemko, "AiF": Girls, Mikhail Turetsky promised that everyone who comes to the Kremlin on December 27 and 28 will be in a fairy tale. What kind of fairy tale will it be?

Olga Brovkina: In fact, we will also get into this mysterious tale, because we will be invited guests. And they keep everything secret from us, as well as from the audience. This is a big intrigue! But from random sources who also accidentally dropped in to our rehearsal hall, we learned that the Turetsky Choir will perform a new repertoire. And we hope that with a few of our songs we will be able to decorate the evening and bring New Year's mood to this concert. We will not tell you what kind of songs we will sing, but we will definitely sing about snow.

- Your team "SOPRANO Turetskiy" appeared 5 years ago, in it, as in the Turetskiy Choir, there were 10 people, but there were 7. The rest could not stand it?

Daria Lvova: We must start with the fact that the selection for our team was announced on a significant day - March 8, 2009. About 300 girls came to it. There were three rounds, the competition was quite tough, the girls were constantly in suspense, because they did not know who would pass. Someone called and said: "You are suitable for us", someone did not call for a long time, and the girls were upset. After three rounds there were 40 of us left and we started rehearsing. This went on for three or four months. In addition to singing, we did choreography, fitness, did everything to become more beautiful and better. On November 27, 2009, the final line-up was approved, which included 10 people, and we flew on our first tour to Switzerland. Now there are 7 of us left - someone left, someone got married, someone just realized that this was not their way. The most hardy remained.

Yin and yang

- Despite the fact that our society is considered progressive, men compete with women in it every day. What about your competition?

Valeria Devyatova: What kind of competition can there be between a man and a woman? We are different beginnings, yin and yang. Therefore, we look at them and admire them. They are twice as old as we are, more experienced than us, we learn from them what we can. Although, of course, the male half says that the female version of the choir is nicer, and the ardent fans of the male choir, of course, are for them.

- That is, your fans are men, and the Turetsky Choir is women?

Anna Korolik: In fact, I often hear that women really like us, so not only the stronger sex come to our performances - the fans of the Turetsky Choir also come to see us.

- Chief, Mikhail Turetsky, does your half of his team make concessions? Does he even leave work early, unlike his male subordinates?

Tamara Madebadze: He is strict enough in his work, but not a tyrant. He always has his own opinion and his own position. But we sometimes use our charms, and he, like a real man, succumbs, softens, looking at us. There is one caveat, though. He works from morning to night and loves others to follow his example. So, if he comes to us for a rehearsal, he will not let anyone go before.

- The work of an artist really implies being busy 24 hours a day. Families are not protesting?

Iveta Rogova: We got used to it. Everyone knows that this is our calling, our choice. Therefore, at home they accept us as we are. Yes, we ourselves are one family with the girls.
