Tamara Ilyinichna Sinyavskaya. "Illegitimate daughter" Magomayev demands his share of the inheritance Why Magomayev and Sinyavskaya did not have

Sinyavskaya Tamara Ilyinichna (b. 1943) - Russian Opera singer, has a powerful dramatic mezzo-soprano. In 1980 she won the award Lenin Komsomol, since 1982 - People's Artist Soviet Union. Lecturer at GITIS at the faculty musical theater.

Childhood

She inherited an amazing voice from her mother, who sang wonderfully in her youth. The girl began to imitate her mother already with three years, and especially little Tom liked to sing in the front entrances. In the old houses, the porches had marble floors, high ceilings, carved railings on the stairs, and good acoustics. The sound of her voice seemed to her as beautiful here as in a temple.

The little girl entered one of the entrances, stood in the middle of the front door and began to sing loudly. So she bawled until one of the tenants opened the door and asked loudly for the whole entrance: “Who is singing here?” And then the girl left her "stage" and moved to another entrance. During the day, she went around all the entrances in her and in neighboring houses along Markhlevsky Street. The habit from childhood has remained to this day, when Tamara Ilyinichna enters an unfamiliar entrance, she will quietly try her voice in it.

The little girl understood from childhood that since she sings so well, the singer must have her own audience. So she began to give concerts in the yard for the guys. The neighbors asked the girl to sing more quietly and advised her mother to send her daughter to the House of Pioneers.

School years

Mom and she herself saw that the baby was growing creative nature. But in addition to singing, Tamara also really liked to dance. Therefore, she was enrolled in the famous children's group - the song and dance ensemble, led by Loktev V.S.

When Sinyavskaya was ten years old, she was transferred to choir ensemble. Here the girl studied for eight years, received excellent musical and stage experience, because the ensemble became an indispensable participant in all government concerts. Tamara really learned to feel the stage, stopped being afraid of the public and even went on her first foreign business trip to Czechoslovakia.

Sinyavskaya was fascinated by singing and dancing, but her future life she dreamed of connecting with medicine. In the house where Tamara spent her childhood, there was a clinic on the second floor. The girl liked to go there and sniff, she still remembers this smell of cleanliness, white coats and ether. At home, she started a real medical filing cabinet, where she invented and wrote down the “case histories” of her friends, put the signature “doctor Sinyavskaya” on them. Tamara Ilyinichna herself says that if she had not connected her fate with music, most likely she would have made a good doctor.

As a teenager, Tamara, like many girls of her age, fell in love with cinema. Several times they ran with their girlfriends to the cinema on " Kuban Cossacks' or 'The house where I live'. She learned the songs from these films by heart and often sang aloud. And then Toma saw Lolita Torres, and understood: she wants, just like this great woman, to sing, play on stage and be beautiful. Since then, she sang and rehearsed at home only in front of a mirror, watching her every step and gesture.

Another strong hobby of Tamara was winter views sports, she loved skiing and skating. As soon as skating rinks opened in the capital, Sinyavskaya was certainly among the first visitors.

Musical education

By the time she graduated from school, Tamara had clearly decided on the choice of her future. life path. The girl wanted to study as a dramatic actress. But the head of the song and dance ensemble, V.S. Loktev, advised Sinyavskaya to continue her studies at the music school at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory.

In that educational institution she had wonderful teachers, to whom she is grateful all her life - Markova L. M. and Pomerantseva O. P. And one teacher allowed students to earn extra money at the State Academic Maly Theater, performing in the choir. Sinyavskaya took advantage of this opportunity and sang with pleasure in the theater. In addition, it was a good chance to slightly improve the family financial situation, because Tamara and her mother lived very modestly, and they paid five rubles for one performance. The singer remembers how once, having received a salary for her performance, she bought a whole kilogram of stellate sturgeon in the Eliseevsky grocery store.

Part-time work at the Maly Theater became a good acting school for Tamara, because here she was able to communicate with the luminaries of the theatrical scene. The young singer was received warmly in the theater, they noticed that the girl was talented, and one elderly actress even presented the Sinyavsky clavier of the opera Samson and Delilah.

In the evenings, Tamara performed at theater stage and spent the rest of her time studying music. She began to sing in the play "The Living Corpse" with a gypsy choir, and after a while the bright young singer was already the soloist in the contatas of S. Prokofiev's "Alexander Nevsky" and P. Tchaikovsky's "Moscow". Her teacher Pomerantseva O.P. recalled Sinyavskaya as a very hardworking, diligent and interesting student, it was immediately obvious that this girl had a great creative future.

Tamara graduated in 1964. She passed the final exam with a "five plus", which was extremely rare at the school and was considered an exceptional case. The teachers advised Sinyavskaya to go to an audition at the Bolshoi Theater (there they recruited a trainee group), they were sure that with such vocal data the girl would definitely be accepted.

Grand Theatre

High society gathered in the commission Soviet music- Boris Pokrovsky, Irina Arkhipova, Galina Vishnevskaya, Evgeny Svetlanov, Gennady Rozhdestvensky. Despite the fact that Tamara was very young and did not have a conservatory education, she made a strong impression on the commission, and the girl was accepted into a group of trainees. And a year later she joined the main troupe Bolshoi Theater, where she soloed for almost forty years.

Simultaneously with her work in the theater, Sinyavskaya continued to receive her education: she entered GITIS, where she studied singing with the famous vocal teacher, Professor Dora Borisovna Belyavskaya.

Tamara came to the Bolshoi Theater as a very young girl. She was a little over twenty years old, she is naive and trusting, in love with the stage and a friendly girl to everyone. Because of her youth, the old-timers of the Bolshoi Theater did not even perceive Sinyavskaya as a rival.

She didn’t have thoughts about fame, because at that time there were so many celebrities working in the theater that Sinyavskaya considered it a happiness to go on the same stage with them. Then she set herself a single goal - to fully comply with the status of a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater and continue to learn from the great opera singers that are next to her.

Her first character on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater was a page in the opera Rigoletto by G. Verdi. The male role of Sinyavskaya was excellent, and theater directors decided that her voice and external data are great for the roles of a drag queen.

However, it soon turned out that the basis of the theater troupe went on tour to Milan, and for the capital's production of Tchaikovsky's opera "Eugene Onegin" the performer of the part of Olga was urgently needed. We decided to entrust this role to Sinyavskaya and did not fail. Her charm, her rare beauty of sound and timbre, her stage appearance delighted her colleagues, critics and spectators. Her partner was the amazing tenor Virgilius Noreiko. A famous singer opera Sergei Lemeshev said then that in his 70 years he saw the real Pushkin Olga for the first time on stage.

Tamara had an amazing ability to work. During the years spent at the Bolshoi Theater, she sang dozens of roles, many of which added to the annals of Russian opera music:

in "The Tsar's Bride" by N. Rimsky-Korsakov - Dunyasha and Lyubasha;
in "Sadko" by N. Rimsky-Korsakov - Lyubava;
in "La Traviata" by G. Verdi - Flora;
in N. Rimsky-Korsakov's "Pskovityanka" - Nadezhda;
in "War and Peace" by S. Prokofiev - Sonya, the gypsy Matryosha, Helen Bezukhova, Mavra Kuzminichna;
in "Ivan Susanin" by M. Glinka - Vanya;
in "The Queen of Spades" by P. Tchaikovsky - Polina;
in "Boris Godunov" by M. Mussorgsky - Fedor;
in "Ruslan and Lyudmila" by M. Glinka - Ratmir;
in "Chio-Chio-san" by G. Puccini - Kate;
in "Prince Igor" by A. Borodin - Konchakovna;
in "Carmen" by J. Bizet - Carmen.

And after the competitive festival named after P. I. Tchaikovsky, which was broadcast on radio and television throughout the country, Tamara became famous. It was 1970, a powerful competition with a strong jury. In addition to celebrities from the Soviet Union (Irina Arkhipova, Mark Reizen, Maria Maksakova, Ivan Petrov), vocalists from abroad arrived - Tito Gobbi and Maria Callas. Foreign guests unanimously gave their votes to Tamara Sinyavskaya, then she shared the gold award with Elena Obraztsova.

This competition was the impetus for all-Union fame, but Tamara is not one of those people who need fame, she always tried not to feel her celebrity. The singer and actress felt like that only on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, but in life she is a rather modest woman. Her mother taught her from childhood that it is sometimes much more difficult to survive success than to achieve it. Tamara has one of the life rules that she always adhered to: “In order for the crown not to press too hard on your head, you need to evaluate yourself adequately”.

Once the opera diva Elena Obraztsova told Tamara: “If I had a voice like yours, the whole world would be lying at my feet”. But Sinyavskaya turned out to be unnecessary, she loved her theater too much. She had both invitations and opportunities to perform on the world's best stages, but this was not the main thing in Tamara's life. It was more important for her to work in her favorite theater, the singer always considered it the best in the world. And with the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater, Sinyavskaya has already traveled the whole world.

Tamara loves both French and Italian opera music, but her heart belongs to Russian opera. With her, the singer is easy and comfortable, she lives in it and dissolves without a trace, because it is her own.

For her creative merits, Sinyavskaya received many awards and titles, she has awards - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, "For Merit to the Fatherland" VI degree, "Badge of Honor".

In 2003, Tamara voluntarily left the theater. She chose to do this, as her husband Muslim Magomayev said, a little earlier than expected. Let the fans think better: “Why did Sinyavskaya leave the stage so early?” than they will discuss: "How? Does she still sing? Well, how much can you? In addition, it so happened that her native Bolshoi Theater was closed for repairs, and she did not consider it possible to sing on other stages.

After theater career Tamara Ilyinichna took up teaching, she is the head of a free department at GITIS, she has the title of professor.

Personal life

Tamara Sinyavskaya and Muslim Magomayev. They seemed to wander around the world for a long time in search of each other. He is an incredible handsome man with oriental blood and a heavenly voice. Millions of women idolized him, went crazy, waited after the concerts just to touch the idol. He had a stormy personal life, many love affairs, but all until the moment he met Tamara. After they met, all the women of the world ceased to exist for Muslim.

They were introduced in 1972, this happened in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, where both were invited as guests of honor to a decade of Russian art. They were introduced to each other by the poet Robert Rozhdestvensky. Magomayev held out his hand and shyly said: "Muslim." To which Tamara replied with a smile: “You don’t have to introduce yourself. The whole Soviet Union knows you." That's how they started love story 35 years long.

True, soon after they met, they had to part for almost a year, because Tamara had to leave for an internship in Italy. But when she returned in 1974, they immediately got married. It was a wonderful, bright, inseparable, family duet.

In 2008, Muslim died. It will be ten years soon, and Tamara can’t come to her senses, in her husband’s office there is still an open pack of cigarettes, which he did not have time to finish smoking. She dreams of Muslim every night, and in the morning it always seems that now he will come in and ask for a cup of coffee ...

Tamara Sinyavskaya began to sing at the age of three - she liked to listen to how her voice sounds in the entrance of the old Moscow house where she lived. And her first listeners were local kids. But her childhood dream was not to become a singer, but a doctor, however, her excellent hearing and vocal abilities led her to a different decision. First, Tamara Ilyinichna graduated music school, and then a music school at the Moscow Conservatory.

She did brilliant career, early becoming the prima donna of the Bolshoi Theater. Future husband of Tamara Sinyavskaya Muslim Magomaev by the time they met, was already popular artist and a favorite of the public, especially its female half. Their first meeting took place at the decade of Russian art at the Baku Philharmonic in 1972. future husband Tamara Sinyavskaya, for whom Baku was his hometown, immediately offered his new acquaintance to take a short tour with her. Then Tamara Ilyinichna was twenty-nine years old, and Muslim Magometovich was thirty, the singer was already married to a worthy person, and everything was just fine with her , but the new feeling was so strong that she forgot about everything in the world.

Tamara seemed to Muslim Magomayev very interesting and smart woman which I didn't want to part with. Returning to Moscow, they did not interrupt their relationship. Before meeting Sinyavskaya, Magomayev had many novels, but they were all short-lived, although quite ardent. He conquered women with his talent, intelligence, beauty and generosity, and when they heard him sing, each of them thought that he sang only for her.

The love triangle in the life of Tamara Sinyavsky lasted long enough, until she took a decisive step, deciding to divorce her husband. Two years after the first meeting, Muslim Magomayev became the husband of Tamara Sinyavskaya. They got married when they were already accomplished mature personalities, so they had a hard time getting used to each other. In addition, Tamara Sinyavskaya's husband had a hot explosive temperament, quarrels between them always flared up instantly and were very loud, however, they stopped just as quickly, no less passionate reconciliations. Tamara Sinyavskaya had to put up with the fact that fans never left her husband alone, but she treated them with tolerance and even respect. They lived together for almost thirty-five years - until the death of her husband Tamara Sinyavskaya.

TAMARA SINYAVSKAYA - OPERA QUEEN

She once admitted that she always loved difficult tasks, and fate generously endowed her with them throughout creative life- each new opera part is like a new peak that needs to be conquered. And there are enough such peaks for more than one mountain range.

Tamara Ilyinichna managed to make a dizzying career as an opera singer, earn recognition from connoisseurs of vocal skills all over the world, forever inscribe her name in the history of art, becoming a great soloist of the second half of the 20th century.

Concerts in the hallways

A native Muscovite was born in 1943. One can only imagine how difficult it was for her mother to feed her child during the hungry war years. In no interview with Tamara Ilyinichna, it was possible to find information about her father, it is only known that she grew up without him. But she loves to talk about her mother, who devoted her whole life to her daughter, endowed her with vocal talent and brought her to the House of Pioneers in time so that her daughter could demonstrate her abilities there in the Song and Dance Ensemble led by Vladimir Loktev.

As a child, Tamara loved to enter the entrances of old Moscow houses, where there was excellent acoustics, and arrange real concerts, listening to the sound of her voice. She especially liked to imitate the famous Argentine singer Lolita Torres, whose fame then thundered all over the world.

The head of the ensemble appreciated the talent of the student Sinyavskaya and advised her to enter the music school at the Moscow Conservatory after school. At the same time, she sang in the choir of the Maly Theater, where she learned the basics dramatic art. Tamara she studied diligently, absorbed opera skills bit by bit and not only earned the praise of her teachers, but received a grade of 5+ at the final exam, which happened extremely rarely at the school.

Embarrassed Debutante

After college, fate brought a 20-year-old girl to a group of trainees of the Bolshoi Theater. The vocal data of the young singer impressed the selection committee so much that they took her even without a conservatory education. The young trainee proved to everyone her right to perform on the stage of an outstanding theater and a year later she was enrolled in the main cast. Then all the eminent singers, at the sight of which Tamara breathtaking, overnight became her stage colleagues - Irina Arkhipova, Zurab Anjaparidze, Alexander Ognivtsev.

At first, she was even embarrassed to rehearse with them, she felt embarrassed in front of the masters. Tamara enthusiastically watched the work of great artists, memorized gestures, movements, facial expressions, every sound and change in intonation, and at home she repeated and repeated what she heard in order to find her own sound. The famous opera director and mentor Boris Pokrovsky helped her overcome herself and open up.

Once, at a time when the main troupe of the theater was touring in Milan, in Moscow it was urgently necessary to find a performer of the part of Olga from the opera. It was a real serious debut of Tamara, which was excellent. This brought her the recognition of colleagues and even more - she was named the best performer this party. After one of the speeches outstanding Sergey Lemeshev said that he had finally met the real Olga.

Brilliant Tamara Sinyavskaya

Having achieved the first success, she did not calmly rest on her laurels. Every day she improved her skills, expanded her vocal range and thereby increased her repertoire possibilities. For the first few years of work at the Bolshoi Theater, she performed more than a dozen parts that became the best in history. operatic art(Konchakovna in "Prince Igor" and Oberon in the opera "Dream in midsummer night"). These roles brought her international fame during the Bolshoi Theater's tours to Canada, France and Japan.

Three next year she received the first three awards of the most prestigious international competitions and festivals - in Sofia, Verviers and Moscow. Incidentally, IV international competition name in Moscow, the opinions of the jury were divided equally - the Soviet members of the jury gave their votes to Elena Obraztsova, and the foreign ones (including the great one) were just as categorically in favor Tamara Sinyavskaya, so the first prize had to be divided between the two singers.

Love with an oriental accent

After such a triumph, the rising opera diva was spotted by a well-known impresario who flooded the theater with telegrams asking her to let her go. Sinyavskaya on tour in America. As you know, the KGB always had its own opinion on this matter, and the answer was also standard: "The singer is busy in repertoire productions." This means that she is not supposed to hear about any invitations.

Who knows what a foreign tour could have turned out for her, but a trip to Baku for the Decade of Russian Culture has become a landmark for the singer. There she met With . Naturally, she knew the "All-Union Orpheus", but in absentia. Feelings flared up between two not free people, but the romance was interrupted by Tamara's trip for an internship at the Italian La Scala. At that time, Sinyavskaya was married. She had great respect for her husband, a ballet dancer, and was grateful for helping her get through the loss of her mother.

Magomayev was persistent, called his beloved every day, talked about creativity, discussed new music. And, as they say, a reliable marriage has not passed the test of strength. After returning Tamara Sinyavskaya they decided to unite their destinies forever.

Unfortunately, the couple did not have children, but the richest remained creative heritage- in addition to solo performances by Muslim and work in Tamara's opera, they often sang together, organized concerts and recitals.

40 years of life in the Bolshoi

For many years of his service to art and 40 years of work at the Bolshoi Theater Tamara Ilyinichna performed almost all significant parts for mezzo-soprano. She is deservedly called the outstanding Russian representative of the Italian vocal school with a unique range. Her velvety timbre and enveloping sound of her voice, sensuality and charm on stage made her a diva not only in the countries of the former Soviet Union, but also in many foreign countries.

With Zurab Sotkilava (Jose) in "Carmen"

Russian soul and female character People's Artist of the USSR embodied in many opera productions of her native theater, but she considers the part of Lyubasha in the opera " royal bride» Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. This part of hers is recognized as the most outstanding by both critics and opera lovers.

For the role in the opera of the same name, Sinyavskaya studied choreography with famous ballerina Marina Semyonova. The audience appreciated the bright image created on the stage and the expressive plasticity of the singer. Tamara was the first in the Soviet Union to sing the part of Mademoiselle Blanche in The Gambler. Her repertoire includes both Russian and foreign classics, and the touring geography includes more than a dozen countries.

Bitter loss

In 2002 Tamara Ilyinichna finished her performances on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater and admits that she does not regret it at all. She believes that it is better to leave the stage six months earlier than five minutes later. After 5 years, Muslim Magomayev and finished their joint concert activity. At that time, Muslim Magometovich began to be persecuted serious problems with health, he underwent vascular surgery, and a year later the singer died. Tamara Ilyinichna is very had a hard time with this period. She “closed” herself from society for three years, almost did not appear in public and did not give a single interview.

Time did not cure, but brought new ideas - the competition of young performers named after Muslim Magomayev. Tamara Ilyinichna also found herself in teaching and headed the department vocal art RATI-GITIS. She always believed that it was not acceptable to sit on two chairs, so she did not think about pedagogical work during performances at the Bolshoi Theater. Now is the time to pass on to the younger generations all the colossal experience accumulated over the years of creativity.

Inconsolable Tamara Sinyavskaya

To keep herself in shape in front of students, she sings at home every morning, delighting her neighbors with masterpieces of world opera art. Tamara Ilyinichna there are still offers to resume performances, but she does not feel the strength in herself to love, suffer, live and create on stage as sincerely as she once did. She only sang the highest level and can not now afford to go down even a step.

Probably, with the departure of Muslim Magomayev, a creative wound Tamara Sinyavskaya won't live anymore. Tamara Ilyinichna almost every month comes to her husband's homeland in Azerbaijan, where he is buried in the Alley of Honor in Baku. She sadly admits that she used to do her favorite work on weekdays, and devoted weekends to her adored husband, and now she had only working days at the institute. In addition, she organized the Magomayev Cultural and Musical Heritage Foundation.

DATA

Tamara's very first role at the Bolshoi Theater was Page in the opera Rigoletto. It is so customary that the page is performed by a singer who has the role of "travesty". The director of the opera, having heard Sinyavskaya, decided that with such a singer for male roles, now you don’t have to worry. The complexity of these parties lies in the fact that the viewer should not guess who is actually singing. It was a horse Tamara Sinyavskaya. "Male" roles she turned out great.

I have always wanted to improve my acting skills. To do this, she entered GITIS at the faculty of musical comedy. There she had the opportunity to study with Professor Dora Belyavskaya, who was the only one of all the teachers who did not praise Tamara, but said that she had something to work on. This is just what I wanted to hear Sinyavskaya.

These days, the famous singer of the Bolshoi Theater Tamara Sinyavskaya celebrates her anniversary. Her mezzo-soprano sounded luxurious both when she sang "Love, like a bird, has wings", and when she performed "The Black-browed Cossack Woman" ... legendary singer Muslim Magomaev. And her childhood passed in a modest family, in an ordinary old Moscow courtyard. She told the Trud correspondent about this.

Somehow they write little about your parents - who are they?
- I can only tell about my mother, since I did not know my father. Mom had a beautiful voice, in her youth she even sang in the church choir. But she did not receive an education: she was the eldest among the children, after her four more children were born in the family. Mom earned as much as she could, she did not refuse any work - she had to feed me. And, as you can see, she fed well - the girl grew well-fed. (Laughs.)
Of course, mother was helped - her Native sister, my aunt. Yes and just good people supported. Then the way of life was different - you can say that I was raised by the whole yard. We lived near Sretenka, in the very center of old Moscow. For me, the world ended with Kolkhoznaya Square, now Sukharevskaya Square, with the Forum cinema (for some reason we called it Foru?m). But usually I was not allowed to go there - it seemed prohibitively far from home.
- At school, the boys probably followed you in a herd: a beauty, a singer ...
- Yes, what a beauty ... The boys were friends with me, it's true. They were friends, they talked about their heart secrets, about feelings for other girls. I don't know what attracted me so much. Probably because she was a good listener. Or maybe they liked the way I sang.
- It is known what a high mark Maria Callas gave you at the Tchaikovsky Competition in 1970. Did you communicate with her?
- Quite a bit. After the contest, we came to see her off, took pictures as a keepsake. But before that, even at the gala concert of the winners, I felt that she sympathized with me. When I sang "Seguidilla" from "Carmen", I saw with my own eyes how she, sitting in the hall, silently articulated with me. I will never forget.
- Do you remember your first performance at the Bolshoi Theater?
- Still would! It was in 1964, even before any competitions, I had just graduated from the college at the conservatory. They gave me a small part of a peasant woman in Le nozze di Figaro, where I sang in a duet with Klara Kadinskaya. She invited her mother to her debut. Then I ask her: how is it? I thought she would say now: how good your voice sounded, how nice you looked ... But instead she says: you know, I didn’t recognize you ...
- You traveled so much... And in what country of the world would you like to live, if not in Russia?
- So even the question is not put. Only in Russia. I recently visited Paris, mentally said goodbye as a singer to my places: the Grand Opera theater, the Pleyel hall, where I once sang, the hotel where I lived during the tour ... And I thought: how I adore this city . But she returned to Moscow and once again felt: the house is only here.
- Of course, your beloved husband Muslim Magomayev is here ... When you married him, did you understand what you were getting into? Indeed, at least half of the female population of the USSR was in love with Muslim Magomayev.
- At that moment, when I fell in love, I did not understand. I was very surprised by the words of the singer Irina Ivanovna Maslennikova, said when she and her husband, director Boris Alexandrovich Pokrovsky, came to visit Muslim and me: “Tamarochka, a hard life awaits you - sulfuric acid in the face and all that ... "Of course, this was said partly in jest. And, thank God, they didn’t splash sulfuric acid at me, but I had a chance to see other manifestations of jealousy from the fans. I don’t want to talk about it now. I I understand that such an artist should have fans, and I never dispersed them.Maybe that's why I still managed without acid.(Laughs.) that Muslim cannot receive them personally.
- How did the Azerbaijani relatives of Muslim Magometovich accept you?
- What family? His father died on the very Day of Victory, May 9, 1945. My mother already had another family... Geidar Alievich Aliyev, the head of Republic of Azerbaijan, a unique, powerful, brilliant person. He and his amazing wife Zarifa Azizovna, their children Sevil and Ilham, the current president of Azerbaijan, accepted me as their own. Until now, they call me that - "our gyallin", that is, the daughter-in-law of all Azerbaijan.
- What are you up to? long years Marriage learned from Muslim Magometovich?
- Perseverance, patience, restraint.
- Muslim Magomayev - and restraint? They say he's a real fire.
- I mean perseverance in work, a serious approach to music, to everything that he does ... And in life - of course, he is hot. What are the most famous hurricanes we have there - Catherine, Rita, Andrew? Put them all together and you will get Muslim in anger. I'm joking, of course - it's always not for long, about two minutes, and without casualties.
What did he learn from you?
- Hard to say. Well, it became softer, softer.
- He is said to be amazingly versed in technology.
- Unlike me. I instantly mastered the computer, created my own website.
- Yes, when you request information about Elvis Presley on the Internet, one of the first to appear is a link to Muslim Magomayev's website - there is a large section devoted to his favorite singer.
- And not only to him. There's a lot about Frank Sinatra, Tito Gobi, Giuseppe di Stefano, Caruso, Callas... He also wrote books about them. While preparing a book about Mario Lanza, he traveled to America for a month with his own money, made friends with Lanza's daughter Elisa and her husband. When he sang there, they were amazed at how similar his manner of performance was to that of Lanz. Although he had a tenor, and Muslim had a baritone, he was very rich, he had both tenor and bass colors.
- Are your talents as diverse as Muslim's? How, for example, is the case with culinary skills?
- Practically absent. Although now I sometimes do this, so to speak, improve my skills. Muslim says to me: why have you been silent for so many years, but it turns out that you have abilities ... But he is much more talented in this area than me, he has a bold culinary imagination. And he does not need any exquisite products at all. For example, have you heard of such a dish - sausage cutlets? And he took them, scrolled, added something - and it turned out very tasty. Or invented fanta ice cream...
- Do you and Muslim follow today's show business?
- No. What is the point of following the work of a singer who opens his mouth to a phonogram?
- But at Eurovision they sing live ...
- It doesn't matter - this smoke on the stage, flickering light, half-naked dancers ... It is impossible to focus on the singer's voice itself.
- When you yourself sang, it seemed impossible to imagine a nobler and more beautiful sound.
- Thank you. Although I had health problems - I, as they say, "a lady with stones", I even had to do surgery for this. And after them, not only to sing, it became difficult to breathe. But few people knew about this, they gossiped about me: she is too lazy to sing ... Lena Obraztsova, my friend, recently said to me: well, what can I say, Sinyulya, I would like your voice - the whole world would be lying at my feet ... I'm laughing: you must admit, hearing this from Exemplary is worth something.

The name of the singer was named a small planet solar system. Dramatic mezzo-soprano Tamara Sinyavskaya admired opera star Maria Callas, and Sergey Lemeshev noted that in 70 years he met “the real Pushkin Olga” for the first time on the stage. The star of Tamara Sinyavskaya rose very quickly. Less than 20 years after the debut on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, the vocalist was awarded the title People's Artist Soviet Union.

Tamara Sinyavskaya is a native Muscovite, Russian by nationality. She was born 1 year before the end of the war. There is no information about the singer's father. Her idol and family was her mother - a talented woman, naturally endowed with a beautiful voice, but due to life circumstances she did not become an artist. The daughter began to sing after her mother, repeating the songs she heard.

Tamara Sinyavskaya felt like a singer at the age of 3: the girl's favorite childhood entertainment was singing in the front porches of old capital houses with good acoustics. Bringing out excellent-sounding roulades, the girl felt a spiritual thrill, as if in a temple.

During the day, the novice vocalist managed to go around all the entrances of houses along her native Markhlevsky street (today Milyutinsky lane). "Aria" performed by Sinyavskaya continued until it was interrupted by admiring or indignant tenants. Once they recommended that the mother take her daughter to the House of Pioneers, where professional teachers would work with her.

Since then, Tamara Sinyavskaya sang 2 times more - in the House of Pioneers and in the yard, where she gathered a “hall” from the neighboring guys. Soon, the aspiring artist signed up for the children's group of Vladimir Sergeevich Loktev, where she sang and danced.

At the age of ten, the young artist of the Lokteva ensemble was transferred to the choir, where she gained musical and stage experience in eight years. A well-known children's group took part in government concerts, and Tamara Sinyavskaya felt at home on stage. For the first time in her biography, she traveled abroad - the ensemble of Vladimir Loktev toured Czechoslovakia.

Incredibly, as a child, Sinyavskaya dreamed of being a doctor. In the house where the family lived, a polyclinic worked. The girl admired the work of the staff in white coats and inhaled the smell of ether, which seemed to her divine. The future artist played “to the hospital”, she had a file cabinet with medical histories of relatives and friends, she wrote out “prescriptions”, under which “doctor Sinyavskaya” signed.

Since childhood, Tamara Sinyavskaya was very fond of skating and skiing. In winter, when skating rinks began to work in the capital, the girl was among the first visitors. The desire to be on stage appeared in adolescence, when Tamara Sinyavskaya and her friends went to the cinema to watch "Kuban Cossacks" and "The House I Live In". She learned the songs from the movies and sang them all the time. And when she saw the famous Argentine singer and actress Lolita Torres on the screen, Sinyavskaya dreamed only of a career as an artist.

IN senior class Sinyavskaya made her choice: Tamara was on her way to theater university. However, Vladimir Sergeevich Loktev, who carefully observed the artist of the ensemble, recommended that they go to the music school at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Sinyavskaya did just that and never regretted it. At the school, she met talented teachers who brought vocal ability singers to perfection.

At the school, the actress worked part-time by performing in the choir of the academic Maly Theater. For the performance, the choristers were paid 5 rubles - money, which was enough to buy a kilogram of stellate sturgeon in the exemplary "Eliseevsky" grocery store. At the Maly Theater, a Muscovite took to the stage with the luminaries of the stage, whose names in the USSR were known to everyone.

In the daytime, Tamara Sinyavskaya studied, and performed in the evenings. She made her debut with the gypsy choir in the production of "The Living Corpse", where the singer's vocal abilities were noted and given solo parts in the films "Alexander Nevsky" and "Moscow". In 1964, Sinyavskaya was given a diploma music school. She passed her graduation with an "5+", which was a rarity in an educational institution. The teachers advised the graduate to become an intern at the Bolshoi Theater, where at that time they were recruiting a group of trainees.

The admission committee of the Bolshoi, where Tamara Sinyavskaya arrived, unanimously accepted the twenty-year-old artist, although she did not have a conservatory education. But members admission committee- luminaries in the world musical art– Boris Pokrovsky, Galina Vishnevskaya and Evgeny Svetlanov realized that they had an exceptional talent in front of them.

The masters of the Bolshoi Theater did not consider the young, benevolent girl a rival, and she did not think about competition: Tamara Sinyavskaya was breathless when she appeared on stage with Irina Arkhipova, Alexander Ognivtsev and Zurab Anjaparidze.

A year later, Tamara Sinyavskaya was taken to the main part of the troupe, but the vocalist understood that she could not stop: the Muscovite entered GITIS, where she met the famous vocal teacher Dora Belyavskaya. The first time Sinyavskaya heard that she had something to work on, Dora Borisovna turned a diamond into a diamond.

In the theater, Tamara Sinyavskaya carefully watched the work of the luminaries and was shy. Director Boris Pokrovsky helped to cope with uncertainty, entrusting the young singer with the role of Page in Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Men's party The girl turned out to have a page, in the theater they made sure that the singer copes with female roles, and with travesty.

Tamara Sinyavskaya felt like the hostess of the stage when the main part of the troupe went on tour to Milan. The only performer of the part of Olga in the production of Eugene Onegin went to Italy. The role was given to Sinyavskaya, and she coped with brilliance, having heard the flattering review of the seventy-year-old master Sergei Lemeshev.

For forty years on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, the singer became a prima, performing all the main opera parts with a velvet mezzo-soprano. For her voice range and skill, Sinyavskaya was named the best Russian vocalist of the Italian school. The army of admirers of Tamara Ilyinichna's talent was replenished by both Russian and foreign connoisseurs of opera art.

Tamara Sinyavskaya's repertoire included French and Italian opera music, but performing the parts of Russian opera, the singer felt at ease. The Russian soul of the opera diva was noted by admirers who heard the part of Lyubasha in Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Tsar's Bride. This party connoisseurs and music critics called the best among the works of Sinyavskaya.

In 1970, the Tchaikovsky Competition Festival took place in Russia, where the jury members were Maria Maksakova, Irina Arkhipova, Maria Callas and Tito Gobbi. Tamara Sinyavskaya and Elena Obraztsova shared the main award - gold medal. Foreign members of the jury preferred Sinyavskaya. The festival brought opera diva All-Union fame and offers to perform on world stages, but Tamara Ilyinichna did not chase the stage and could not imagine that she would leave the Bolshoi Theater.

In 2003, the artist left the stage at the height of her career. She later said that she chose to leave before hearing words of surprise about her career "longevity."

Tamara Sinyavskaya had two marriages. In the first union, her husband was a ballet dancer, to whom the singer is grateful for helping to survive the departure of her mother. And everything would be fine if Muslim Magomayev, the all-Union "Orpheus", who was idolized by millions of women, did not see the beautiful singer on tour in Baku in 1972. Both were married, but they could not stand the oriental passion of Magomayev.

The artists legalized their relationship in November 1974 and lived together for 34 years. 2 stars quarreled and dispersed, but they were drawn to each other by a magnet, so reconciliation followed the parting. There were no children in the marriage, Tamara Ilyinichna gave all her love and warmth to her husband. When he passed away, Sinyavskaya closed for 3 years and did not go out to the public.

Tamara Sinyavskaya, leaving the stage, did not give up art. Currently, Professor Tamara Ilyinichna Sinyavskaya teaches at GITIS, where she heads the vocal department. Previously, the artist’s weekdays were filled with work, and the woman spent her weekends with her beloved husband. To date, Tamara Sinyavskaya has only a job, and the wound from the loss native person didn't heal. To get rid of longing, she conducts classes with students whom Tamara Ilyinichna calls children.

Sinyavskaya is invited to the stage, offering opera parts in performances, but she answers with an invariable refusal, because she does not want to go down at least a step down, but she does not feel the strength to the same height. Tamara Sinyavskaya founded and headed the Muslim Magomayev Cultural and Musical Heritage Foundation.
