Aida Garifullina sang for the first time in three years in La Traviata at the Bolshoi Theatre

Giuseppe Verdi's opera La Traviata with the participation of world-class stars was performed at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater. The main role of the courtesan Violetta Valeri was performed for the first time in three years by the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Aida Garifullina.

"Violetta's role is one of the most difficult, and it's complicated because she was a real character who lived, and such biographical stories always need to be acted," the singer said.

Garifullina, who performed on the stages of the main theaters of the world, admitted that in Moscow the audience is always special. This year she will perform several more times in Russia, including with a solo concert on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater.

Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Theatre artists brought their recent premiere to the capital for the first time.

Earlier, the singer acted as a mentor for the participants of the contest "Young Virtuosos of Tatarstan". She noted that the burning eyes of children are very dear to her, and drew attention to the importance of supporting young talents.
