Opera singer Aida Garifullina spoke in an interview with Izvestia on March 31 about her collaboration with Spanish tenor Placido Domingo and his love for the Russian public.

"Domingo and I have been united by many concerts, performances, and performances. A few years ago, we sang La Traviata at the Florence Opera, and the legendary Zubin Mehta conducted the performance. <...> It was great, and I still have a poster of this production with our names on it," Garifullina shared.

She noted that Domingo had come to Russia more than once to perform at the Bolshoi Theater. According to the singer, during the joint performance he was very touched by the reaction of the Russian audience.

"He was absolutely delighted with the audience, with how the audience received him. After all, for an artist, applause, audience love, and the audience's reaction to a performance are very important," the artist said.

"It is a great honor to be a part of the Bolshoi Theater family"
