I-Cinderellas iba kanjani amakhosazana e-Opera

U-Anna Netrebko: Ngingasho ukuthi nginesimilo. Ngokuyisisekelo, kuhle. Ngingumuntu onomusa futhi ongenamona, angisoze ngaba ngowokuqala ukucasula noma ubani, ngokuphambene nalokho, ngizama ukuba umngane nawo wonke umuntu. Izigigaba zeshashalazi azikaze zingithinte ngempela, ngoba ngizama ukungaboni okubi, ukudweba okuhle kunoma yisiphi isimo. Ngivame ukuba nomoya omuhle kakhulu, ngingeneliseka ngokuncane. Okhokho bami bangamagypsies. Amandla amaningi kwesinye isikhathi angazi ukuthi ngenzenjani ngawo. Kusuka kwinhlolokhono

ENtshonalanga, kuzo zonke izindlu ze-opera, kusukela eDolobheni elikhulu laseNew York naseCovent Garden yaseLondon kuya kwethiyetha encane ezifundazweni zaseJalimane, iningi labantu bakithi liyacula. Iziphetho zabo zihlukile. Akuwona wonke umuntu okwazi ukugqekeza ku-elite. Ababaningi abamiselwe ukuhlala phezulu isikhathi eside. Muva nje, omunye odume kakhulu futhi owaziwayo (okungenani, isibonelo, abadlali be-gymnast baseRussia noma abadlali bethenisi) uye waba umculi waseRussia, umculi we-Mariinsky Theatre u-Anna Netrebko. Ngemva kokunqoba kwakhe kuzo zonke izinkundla zemidlalo yaseshashalazini ezinkulu zaseYurophu naseMelika kanye nokubhapathizwa okujabulisayo komlilo kukaMozart eMkhosini waseSalzburg, onedumela lenkosi phakathi kwabantu abalinganayo, abezindaba baseNtshonalanga baphuthuma ukumemezela ukuzalwa kwesizukulwane esisha se-opera diva. – inkanyezi e jeans. Ukukhanga okuvusa inkanuko kophawu olusha olusanda kutholakala lwezocansi lwe-operatic lwengeze uphethiloli emlilweni. Ngokushesha umshini wabamba umzuzu owodwa othakazelisayo emlandweni wakhe, lapho eminyakeni yakhe ye-conservatory esebenza njengomhlanzi eMariinsky Theatre - indaba kaCinderella, owaba yinkosikazi, namanje ithinta "iNtshonalanga yasendle" kunoma iyiphi inguqulo. Ngamazwi ahlukene, babhala okuningi mayelana nokuthi umculi "ushintsha ngokuphawulekayo imithetho ye-opera, ephoqelela abesifazane abakhuluphele ezikhalini zeViking ukuba bakhohlwe," futhi babikezela isiphetho sikaCallas omkhulu kuye, okuyinto, ngokombono wethu. , okungenani kuyingozi, futhi abekho abesifazane abahlukene ekukhanyeni kunoMaria Callas no-Anna Netrebko.

Umhlaba we-opera uyindawo yonke ebilokhu iphila ngokwemithetho yayo ekhethekile futhi iyohlala yehluka empilweni yansuku zonke. Ngaphandle, i-opera ingase ibonakale kumuntu njengeholide yaphakade kanye nokubonakaliswa kwempilo enhle, futhi komunye - umhlangano othulile futhi ongaqondakali ("kungani ukucula lapho kulula ukukhuluma?"). Isikhathi siyahamba, kodwa ingxabano ayikaxazululwa: abalandeli be-opera basakhonza umnyuziyamu wabo ongasho lutho, abaphikisi abakhathali ukuveza amanga akhe. Kodwa kukhona uhlangothi lwesithathu kulo mbango - amaqiniso. Laba bathi i-opera isiye yaba mncane, yaphenduka ibhizinisi, ukuthi umculi wesimanje unezwi endaweni yesithupha futhi konke kunqunywa ngokubukeka, imali, ukuxhumana, futhi kungaba kuhle ukuba okungenani ube nokuhlakanipha okuncane kulokhu.

Noma ngabe yikuphi, i-heroine yethu ayiyona nje "ubuhle, umsubathi, ilungu le-Komsomol", njengoba iqhawe likaVladimir Etush libeka emdlalweni wamahlaya "Isiboshwa saseCaucasus", kodwa ngaphezu kwayo yonke idatha yakhe yangaphandle enhle kakhulu nokuqhakaza. intsha, usengumuntu omangalisayo, ofudumele futhi ovulekile, ongokwemvelo kanye nokushesha. Ngemuva kwakhe akukhona nje ubuhle bakhe namandla onke kaValery Gergiev, kodwa futhi nethalenta lakhe nomsebenzi. U-Anna Netrebko - futhi lokhu kuseyinto eyinhloko - umuntu onobizo, umculi omangalisayo, osiliva we-lyric-coloratura soprano ngo-2002 wanikezwa inkontileka ekhethekile yinkampani edumile ye-Deutsche Gramophone. I-albhamu yokuqala isivele ikhishwe, futhi u-Anna Netrebko uye waba "intombazane yombukiso". Isikhathi eside manje, ukuqoshwa komsindo kubambe iqhaza elibalulekile emsebenzini wabaculi be-opera - akugcini nje ngokwenza izwi lomculi libe ngama-CD ezigabeni ezehlukene zokuphila, kodwa kufingqa ngokulandelana kwazo zonke izimpumelelo zakhe esiteji seshashalazi. zitholakala kuso sonke isintu ezindaweni ezikude kakhulu lapho zingekho khona izinkundla ze-opera. Izinkontileka ezinodondolo bamarekhodi ziphromotha ngokuzenzakalela ocula yedwa ezingeni le-mega-star yamazwe ngamazwe, zimenze “ubuso bekhava” kanye nomlingiswa wohlelo lwezingxoxo. Masikhulume iqiniso, ngaphandle kwebhizinisi lokuqopha bekungeke kube khona labo uJesse Norman, u-Angela Georgiou noRoberto Alagna, uDmitry Hvorostovsky, uCecilia Bartoli, u-Andrea Bocelli nabanye abaculi abaningi, amagama abo esiwazi kahle namuhla ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yokukhushulwa kanye nezihloko ezinkulu. zatshalwa kuzo yizinkampani zamarekhodi. Yiqiniso, u-Anna Netrebko, intombazane yaseKrasnodar, wayenenhlanhla enkulu. U-Fate wamupha izipho zama-fairies. Kodwa ukuze abe inkosazana, uCinderella kwadingeka asebenze kanzima ...

Manje usebukisa ngamakhava emfashini anjalo futhi angahlobene ngqo nomagazini bomculo njengeVogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, W Magazine, Harpers & Queen, Inquire, manje i-Opernwelt yaseJalimane imezisa njengomculi wonyaka, futhi ngo-1971 ku- iningi elijwayelekile lomndeni wakwaKrasnodar (umama uLarisa wayengunjiniyela, ubaba u-Yura wayengusosayensi wokwakheka komhlaba) intombazane u-Anya wazalwa. Iminyaka yesikole, ngokuvuma kwakhe, yayimpunga kakhulu futhi iyisicefe. Wanambitha impumelelo yakhe yokuqala, enza i-gymnastics futhi ecula eqenjini lezingane, noma kunjalo, eningizimu wonke umuntu unamaphimbo futhi wonke umuntu uyacula. Futhi uma ukuze abe yimodeli ephezulu (ngendlela, udadewabo ka-Anna, ohlala eDenmark), wayengenabo ubude obanele, khona-ke wayengakwazi ukuthembela emsebenzini wokuzivocavoca ophumelelayo - isihloko se-candidate master. ezemidlalo ku-acrobatics kanye namazinga kwezokusubatha ayazikhulumela. Emuva e-Krasnodar, u-Anya wakwazi ukuwina umncintiswano wobuhle besifunda futhi waba u-Miss Kuban. Futhi emaphusheni akhe, wayephupha ngokuba udokotela ohlinzayo noma … umculi. Kodwa uthando lwakhe lokucula, noma kunalokho, lwe-operetta, lwamehlula, futhi ngokushesha ngemva kwesikole eneminyaka engu-16 waya enyakatho, waya enyakatho eSt. Petersburg, wangena esikoleni somculo futhi waphupha ngezimpaphe ne-caramboline. Kodwa ukuvakasha ngephutha eMariinsky (ngaleso sikhathi yaseKirov) yaseshashalazini kwawaphazamisa wonke amakhadi - wathandana ne-opera. Okulandelayo yiSt. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory, edume ngesikole samazwi (amagama abafundi abaningana anele ukwenza konke kucace: Obraztsova, Bogacheva, Atlantov, Nesterenko, Borodin), kodwa kusukela ngonyaka wesine ... isikhathi esisele samakilasi. “Angizange ngiyiqede i-conservatory futhi angizange ngithole idiploma, ngoba ngangimatasa kakhulu esiteji sochwepheshe,” kuvuma u-Anna kwenye yezingxoxo zakhe zaseNtshonalanga. Kodwa-ke, ukungabi khona kwediploma kwakukhathaza umama wakhe kuphela, ngaleyo minyaka u-Anya wayengenawo ngisho nomzuzu wamahhala wokucabanga: imincintiswano engapheli, amakhonsathi, amakhonsathi, ama-prehearsals, ukufunda umculo omusha, ukusebenza njenge-extra kanye nokuhlanza eMariinsky Theatre. . Futhi sibonga uNkulunkulu ngokuthi ukuphila akuceli njalo idiploma.

Konke kwaguqulwa ngokuzumayo ngokunqoba emncintiswaneni we-Glinka, owawubanjwe ngo-1993 eSmolensk, izwe lomqambi, lapho u-Irina Arkhipov, u-generarissimo wezwi laseRussia, wamukela umnqobi u-Anna Netrebko ebuthweni lakhe. Ngaso leso sikhathi, uMoscow waqala ukuzwa u-Anya ekhonsathini e-Bolshoi Theatre - i-debutante yayikhathazeke kakhulu kangangokuthi wayengakwazi kahle umbala we-Queen of the Night, kodwa udumo nodumo ku-Arkhipova, owakwazi ukubona amandla amangalisayo ezwi. ngemuva kokubukeka kwemodeli. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, u-Netrebko uqala ukuthethelela intuthuko futhi, okokuqala, wenza i-debut yakhe noGergiev e-Mariinsky Theatre - uSusanna wakhe ku-Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro uba ukuvulwa kwesizini. Bonke ePetersburg bagijimela ukuyobuka i-azure nymph, eyayisanda kuwela i-Theater Square isuka ku-conservatory yaya yaseshashalazini, yayiyinhle kakhulu. Ngisho nasencwadini yamapheshana ehlazisayo kaCyril Veselago ethi “The Phantom of the Opera N-ska” uhlonishwe ngokuvela phakathi kwabalingisi abaqavile njengobuhle obuphambili beshashalazi. Nakuba abaphikisi abaqinile nabashisekeli benkolo bakhononda: “Yebo, muhle, kodwa ukubukeka kwakhe kuhlangene ngani nakho, ngeke kube buhlungu ukufunda ukucula.” Ngemva kokungena enkundleni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini kanye nesiqongo senjabulo yaseMariinsky, lapho uGergiev esanda kuqala ukunwetshwa kwezwe "indlu ye-opera engcono kakhulu yaseRussia", uNetrebko (esikweletini sakhe) wathweswa umqhele wangaphambili kanye nomdlandla awugcini lapho umzuzu. , kodwa uyaqhubeka nokuluma igwadle elinzima lesayensi yezwi. “Kudingeka siqhubeke sifunda,” esho, “futhi silungiselele ngendlela ekhethekile ingxenye ngayinye, sifunde indlela yokucula yezikole zaseFrance, isiNtaliyane, nesiJalimane. Konke lokhu kuyabiza, kodwa ngakha kabusha ubuchopho bami kudala - akukho lutho olunikezwa mahhala. Ngemva kokudlula esikoleni sesibindi emaqenjini anzima kakhulu eKirov Opera yakubo (njengoba basabhala eNtshonalanga), ikhono lakhe liye lakhula futhi laqina kanye naye.

U-Anna Netrebko: Impumelelo yavela ekutheni ngicula eMariinsky. Kodwa kulula ukucula eMelika, bathanda cishe yonke into. Futhi kunzima kakhulu e-Italy. Kunalokho, abakuthandi. Lapho uBergonzi ecula, bamemeza bethi bafuna uCaruso, manje sebememeza bonke ababethi: “Sidinga uBergonzi!” E-Italy, angifuni ngempela ukucula. Kusuka kwinhlolokhono

Indlela eya ezindaweni eziphakeme ze-opera yomhlaba yayingeye-heroine yethu, nakuba yayishesha, kodwa ingaguquki futhi ihamba ngezigaba. Ekuqaleni, waqashelwa ngenxa yokuvakasha kwe-Mariinsky Theatre eNtshonalanga kanye nokuqoshwa okuvela kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi "blue" (ngokombala wesakhiwo se-Mariinsky Theatre) uchungechunge lwenkampani ye-Philips, eyaqopha zonke iziRashiya. ukukhiqizwa kwethiyetha. Kwakuyi-repertoire yaseRussia, eqala ngoLyudmila ku-opera kaGlinka kanye noMarfa kwekaRimsky-Korsakov ethi The Tsar's Bride, eyafakwa ezinkontilekeni zokuqala ezizimele zikaNetrebko neSan Francisco Opera (yize ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaGergiev). Yile thiyetha kusukela ngo-1995 isibe yikhaya lesibili lomculi iminyaka eminingi. Ngomqondo wansuku zonke, kwakunzima eMelika ekuqaleni - wayengalwazi kahle ulimi, wayesaba yonke into engajwayelekile, engathandi ukudla, kodwa akazange akujwayeze, kodwa kunalokho wakha kabusha. . Abangane sebevele, futhi manje u-Anna uthanda ngisho nokudla kwaseMelika, ngisho neMcDonald's, lapho izinkampani zasebusuku ezilambile ziya khona uku-oda ama-hamburgers ekuseni. Ngokomsebenzi, i-America yanika u-Netrebko konke ayekwazi ukuphupha ngakho - wathola ithuba lokuhamba ngokushelelayo esuka ezingxenyeni zaseRussia, okuyinto yena ngokwakhe angayithandi kakhulu, eya kuma-opera ka-Mozart kanye ne-repertoire yase-Italy.

U-Anna uyaqinisekisa: “Kwadingeka ngibhekane nokuningi ngaphambi kokuba ngifaniswe nabaculi baseYurophu isikhathi eside futhi ngokuphikelelayo kwakunikelwa ingoma yaseRussia kuphela. Ukube bengivela eYurophu, lokhu bekungeke kwenzeke. Lokhu akukhona ukuxwaya kuphela, umona, ukwesaba ukusivumela ukuba singene emakethe yamazwi. " Noma kunjalo, u-Anna Netrebko wangena enkulungwaneni entsha njengenkanyezi eguquleka ngokukhululekile futhi waba yingxenye ebalulekile yemakethe ye-opera yamazwe ngamazwe. Namuhla sinomculi ovuthiwe kunayizolo. Uzimisele kakhulu ngomsebenzi futhi ucophelele kakhulu - ezwini, okuphendula ngokuvula amathuba amasha. Umlingiswa wenza ikusasa.

U-Anna Netrebko: Umculo kaMozart ufana nonyawo lwami lwesokudla, engizoma kulo ngiqine kuwo wonke umsebenzi wami. Kusuka kwinhlolokhono

E-Salzburg, akulona isiko ukuthi amaRussia acule i-Mozart - kunenkolelo yokuthi abazi ukuthi kanjani. Ngaphambi kweNetrebko, uLyubov Kazarnovskaya kuphela kanye noVictoria Lukyanet abangaziwa bakwazile ukucwayiza lapho kuma-opera kaMozart. Kodwa uNetrebko wabaneka kangangokuthi umhlaba wonke waqaphela - iSalzburg yaba ihora lakhe elingcono kakhulu kanye nohlobo lokudlula epharadesi. Emkhosini wango-2002, wagqama njenge-prima donna yaseMozartian, enza igama lakhe elithi Donna Anna eDon Giovanni ezweni lenkakha yomculo welanga ngaphansi kwenduku yomqhubi wobuqiniso oyinhloko wezinsuku zethu, u-Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Isimanga esikhulu, ngoba noma yini ebingalindelwa kumculi wendima yakhe, uZerlina, ngokwesibonelo, kodwa hhayi uDonna Anna odabukisayo, ovame ukuculwa ama-soprano ahlaba umxhwele - nokho, ekukhiqizeni kwesimanjemanje, ngaphandle izici zokweqisa, i-heroine yanqunywa ngendlela ehluke kakhulu , ibonakala isencane kakhulu futhi ibuthakathaka, futhi endleleni, ibonisa izingubo zangaphansi eziphakeme ezivela enkampanini exhasa ukusebenza. “Ngaphambi kombukiso wokuqala, ngazama ukungacabangi ukuthi ngangikuphi,” kukhumbula uNetrebko, “ngaphandle kwalokho kwakungethusa kakhulu.” UHarnoncourt, owashintsha intukuthelo yakhe yaba isihe, waqhuba eSalzburg ngemuva kwekhefu elide. U-Anya ukhulume ngendlela angazange aphumelele ngayo ukufuna uDonna Anna iminyaka emihlanu, eyayizofanela uhlelo lwakhe olusha: “Ngize kuye ngizohlolwa futhi ngacula imishwana emibili. Kwanele lokho. Wonke umuntu wangihleka, futhi akekho noyedwa ngaphandle kuka-Arnoncourt owayekholelwa ukuthi ngingacula uDonna Anna.

Kuze kube manje, umculi (mhlawumbe kuphela isiRashiya) angaziqhayisa ngeqoqo eliqinile lamaqhawekazi kaMozart ezigabeni eziyinhloko zomhlaba: ngaphezu kukaDonna Anna, iNdlovukazi Yobusuku kanye noPamina kuThe Magic Flute, uSusanna, Servilia ku-The Mercy. kaTitus, Elijah in ”Idomeneo” kanye noZerlina ku“Don Giovanni”.

Abaqambi abayizintandokazi okumele babalalele nguWagner, uBritten noProkofiev, kodwa ubengeke enqabe ukucula uSchoenberg noma uBerg, isibonelo, uLulu wakhe. Kuze kube manje, okuwukuphela kwendima kaNetrebko okuke kwaphikiswanwa ngayo futhi kwaphikiswana nayo i-Violetta ku-Verdi ethi La Traviata - abanye bakholelwa ukuthi ukuzwakala nje kwamanothi akwanele ukugcwalisa isikhala sesithombe esimangalisayo se-Lady nge-camellias ngokuphila. . Mhlawumbe uzokwazi ukubamba ifilimu-opera, ehlose ukudubula i-Deutsche Gramophone ngokubamba iqhaza kwakhe. Konke kunesikhathi sakho.

Ngokuqondene ne-albhamu yokuqala ye-arias ekhethiwe ku-Deutsche Gramophone, idlula konke okulindelwe, ngisho naphakathi kwabantu abangaziqondi kahle. Futhi kuzoba nokuningi kwabo, okuhlanganisa nozakwabo, lapho umsebenzi womculi ukhuphuka, yilapho ecula kangcono. Yiqiniso, ukukhushulwa okukhulu kufaka ubandlululo oluthile enhliziyweni yomthandi womculo futhi uthatha icwecwe elikhangisiwe ngokungabaza okuthile (bathi okuhle akudingekile ukuphoqelelwa), kodwa ngemisindo yokuqala entsha nefudumele. izwi, konke ukungabaza kuyaphela.

Ngibona isoka kanye ngenyanga - sihlangana ndawana thize ohambweni. Futhi kulungile. Akekho ohlupha omunye. Ngingathanda ukuba nezingane, kodwa hhayi manje. Manje sengizimisele ngokuhlala ngedwa kangangokuthi ingane izovele ingixake. Futhi uphazamise yonke i-kaleidoscope yami. Kusuka kwinhlolokhono

Impilo yangasese yeciko ihlale iyindaba yokuthakasela okungeziwe kuhlangothi lombukeli. Ezinye izinkanyezi zifihla izimpilo zazo zomuntu siqu, ezinye, ngokuphambene nalokho, zikhangisa ngokuningiliziwe ukuze zikhuphule izilinganiso zokuduma kwazo.
