PLAYBOY Have you long been accustomed to compliments from men?

ANNA KOROLIK It's impossible to get used to this! But seriously, I receive compliments not only from men, but also from women, because a woman brings her man to our concert. It is much more important to please them! And I can do it (smiles).

EKATERINA MURASHKO We are very pleased to have a large number of men at our performances. And recognition from fans in life and on our pages on social networks. It's flattering, no doubt about it. Personally, I am pleased that many spectators come to our concerts with families and couples. This is wonderful! And this suggests that the Soprano repertoire is diverse. In addition to world hits and songs dedicated to the stronger half of humanity, we have purely girlish “suffering” in our collection. I noticed with what pleasure women often sing along with us. They are always emotional and responsive. Many thanks to them for these emotions! And I know of a couple of cases when a man and a woman met each other at our performances.

We all have characters, but we try to support each other, smooth out rough edges

PLAYBOY What exactly should a man NOT say to get you interested?

VALERIYA DEVIATOVA That he is a gambler and loves unjustified risks!

PLAYBOY Have you met your love yourself?

VALERIYA DEVIATOVA Fate brought me and my love together! Sudden, strong, powerful. And she covered her head. We were performing at a closed event and ran into each other completely by accident. The young man stood rooted to the spot and began to glare at me. I thought: “How arrogant, he thinks that his gaze should leave me speechless.” I looked away as if I didn’t notice him. That day he told his best friend: “This girl will become my wife”... We gave a concert and urgently left. In a month, my future chosen one was supposed to organize an event. The Sopranos were the headliners for the evening. I came down with a fever and could have been released from this performance, but for some reason I said: “No, I will perform.” We met with him again, and after that he never let me go.

Beach, sea, sun and a sultry man - what more does a woman need!

PLAYBOY They say there is no such thing as female friendship. Do you often quarrel?

EVGENIYA FANFARA My character is quite explosive, sometimes, without understanding it, I can make a mess (laughs). The girls and I have been friends for a long time. They know that I am quick-tempered, although easy-going. We all have our own personalities, but we try to support each other and smooth out rough edges, which is very important “in a team with many breasts.”

PLAYBOY A couple of years ago you recorded a song with Artur Pirozhkov. Did you like this experience? And where are the new collaborations with pop stars?

DARIA LVOVA The collaboration with Sasha Revva turned out to be positive and sunny. Beach, sea, sun and a sultry man - what more does a woman need! We were delighted. And, of course, we are working on new projects. A joint video with Philip Kirkorov for the song “You are everything I need” has been released. And soon it’s waiting for you new surprise.

PLAYBOY Last year, for the World Hockey Championship, you, together with Fetisov and Guberniev, sang “A coward does not play hockey.” And where is a similar song for the World Cup?

EKATERINA MURASHKO The topic of sports is one of our favorites. Many of us are not only actively involved in sports, but also are fans and fans of sports teams and individual athletes. The “Coward Don’t Play Hockey” video was our experiment. And, judging by the reviews, successful. After all, even for strong in spirit Support for athletes is so necessary and important! Since then, we have repeatedly had the honor of performing the Russian anthem at significant sports competitions. This is a great honor for us! I won’t reveal all the cards, but soon football fans will also be in for another surprise from the Soprano art group...

PLAYBOY Has it ever happened that you wanted to leave the stage without finishing the concert?

ANNA KOROLIK There was a moment when the zipper on the dress came apart, but even so - you are an artist, a singer, you must go to the end! I finished the song. The dress didn't fall, thank God. I held it with my hand... In such a situation, as our maestro says, this is an element of the show (laughs).

There was a moment when the zipper on my dress came apart, but I finished singing the song

PLAYBOY You almost missed out on Eurovision 2017, being one step away from participating in the competition. Will you continue to strive to get to Eurosong?

ANNA KOROLIK Of course yes, and we are working on it! Today this is the number one goal for our team.

PLAYBOY Who would you dream to sing a duet with?

VALERIYA DEVIATOVA With Sting.

PLAYBOY What do you need last time didn't have enough money?

EKATERINA MURASHKO I always try to limit my budget and live within my means, and not aim at what I can’t afford. But once in my life I reached my limit. And I didn’t even have money for food. Oh, this cherished payday! He had been approaching for too long. Thank God, such situations did not arise again!

Girls are so susceptible to the desire for change! Who knows what will happen in 5 years?

PLAYBOY What movie did you see recently that made you cry?

DARIA LVOVA"Born in the USSR." A documentary film about 20 heroes born in 1983 in different parts of the world Soviet Union. They were invited to filming every 7 years to follow life against the backdrop of social and political changes. 4 films were shot in which its participants are 7, 14, 21 and 28 years old. Brilliant film. Looks like a breeze. It's simply impossible to tear yourself away. In general, I wonder what it’s like to live and know that the whole country will know about your life. This is such a responsibility!

PLAYBOY How do you see yourself in 10 years? Or at least after 5, so as not to run so far?

EKATERINA MURASHKO I can guess some points that depend only on me. In 5 years I will finish my education in the class of pop-jazz singing at the Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins. I plan to complete my linguistic education, because the offer to work in such an amazing team has tipped the scales in learning languages. It's about creativity and education. Well, in life... I see myself as a tall, slender and blue-eyed blonde (laughs). But girls are so susceptible to the desire for change! Who knows?

On May 23, Mikhail Turetsky’s new project, “”, will visit Minsk with a concert. This group consists of ten members, owners of unique varieties of soprano timbre: from drive soprano to soprano-latino.

On the eve of the concert, the girls told fans about their preferences in fashion and makeup…

Daria Lvova, driving soprano: “In everyday life I prefer to wear something comfortable; I am most attracted to the casual style. My wardrobe contains a large number of jeans, T-shirts, T-shirts, jumpers, and various sweatshirts. This makes life much easier, allows you to look stylish, but at the same time does not hinder your movement, allowing you to relax. I usually go without makeup. A light tone and blush is enough for me in everyday life.”

Olga Brovkina, coloratura soprano: “I prefer classic and not so classic trousers, completely different dresses, I like to look for new possibilities for combining my wardrobe. I love heels, but I won’t refuse semi-men’s boots without heels, playful ballet flats or colored sneakers! I believe that makeup should be light and natural and only emphasize naturalness.”

Evgenia Fanfara, dramatic soprano: “Constant moving, touring life dictate their clothing, it should be convenient and comfortable. As for makeup, I like a lively face: lightly tinted eyelashes, BB cream and lip gloss can always be found in my makeup bag.”

Tamara Madebadze, jazz mezzo soprano: “I like unusual, exclusive things, handmade, which are often found in a single copy and are often timeless and fashionable. I prefer shoes without heels, but I love walking barefoot even more on the sandy seashore!”

Anna Korolik, folk soprano: “Knowing what things are “in trend”, what fashionable new items have appeared, helps to dress with taste, to always be different and stylish, to change your image. Natural beauty, emphasized by light makeup, in my opinion, this is the strength of a young girl!”

Victoria Wood, lyric soprano: “My favorite style is smart casual. I really like this combination - comfortable clothes for every day along with strict elegant things."

Valeria Devyatova, soul soprano: “Sometimes the soul asks for a holiday, and then I dress up for no reason, just for myself. I prefer comfortable shoes, but if such shoes have heels, then it’s double the pleasure! Because any woman, wearing heels, feels more beautiful and better.”

Iveta Rogova, Latin soprano: “In everyday life, I dress sportily, simply and comfortably. Comfort and convenience come first. I don't particularly follow fashion. I’ll say more - I’m indifferent. I prefer to wear what suits me personally, even if it is outside modern trends. Sneakers, boots, sneakers - my style. In everyday life, I pay tribute to good mascara and BB cream. I don’t use lipsticks or eye shadows at all.”

December 20, 2019 Vika Sweet is a person who changed her life beyond recognition thanks to beauty, and since then she is sure that beauty can save everyone. She talks about external and internal and talks about how she helps people who come to her training with this.

August 30, 2019 Popular TV presenter Lucia Gerashchenko does not hide the fact that you can make money from advertising in Belarus. She is one of the few TV personalities who honestly says that she bought an apartment in Minsk, a car and other “benefits” with money from cooperation with brands. At the same time, Lucy knew how to choose projects so well that many people still associate them with Lida kvass or gold jewelry. In an interview with the website, the ONT TV presenter shared the secrets of selfie branding and gave some advice on working in advertising.

March 07, 2019 Vika Sweet knows what it means to be a strong woman, to overcome difficulties, no matter what. It seems that the story of her life is worthy of being a script for a film or TV series, but it is difficult to say who could play it better than herself.

September 24, 2018 For five years she studied to become a dentist, went to work abroad in her specialty, entered the Berlin Higher School of Economics and Law - and... returned to her native Minsk, delighting the townspeople with the aroma of fresh baked goods...

December 27, 2017 The team of the Forum of Successful Women of Belarus Evgenia Grib, Victoria Shchurovskaya and the head of the site Elena Korovets attended the Global Leadership Summit. On the eve of the New Year, we share with our readers a motivating and inspiring interview with speaker and participant of the Global Leadership Summit Renata Volkievich...

Photo: DR Iveta Rogova (SOPRANO-LATINO, electric violin)

Iveta, tell us when and how you found out about pregnancy?

I didn’t immediately realize that I was expecting a child. I noticed that my bust has increased and I can’t fit into my usual clothes! I took a test and the result was negative. I made a second one - two stripes. I went for an ultrasound and it turned out that I was already in my fifth week! I immediately sent an SMS to my husband, he was shocked!

Of course, you already know who will be born.

We are expecting a girl! We will train a second shift at SOPRANO. ( Laughs.)

Have you come up with a name for the baby?

I'm due at the end of September, but they haven't come up with a name yet. The husband wants the baby to be named with the letter “E”, since his name is Edgar. We have probably already gone through all the names starting with this letter, but we haven’t finally decided. Emilia, Evelina, Era... I want there to be at least one letter in my name, I even suggested naming my daughter Eveta. The husband jokes: “It’s almost your name!” In general, when we see her, we will immediately feel that it will suit her better.

How did the girls from “SOPRANO"And Mikhail Turetsky himself?

“SOPRANO” is no longer just a team, it is my second family, in which everyone supports each other. Everyone was happy for me, and now they are actively participating in my life. Sometimes it seems to me that we are all waiting for this child together. Here, of course, a lot depends on the producer. When I told Mikhail Borisovich Turetsky that I was expecting a child, he supported and congratulated me, saying that he was happy for me. Unlike many, our maestro is always on the woman’s side and believes that everyone should experience the joy of motherhood, and then make a choice - to continue working or completely leave the profession.

And what choice will you make?

I am now nine months pregnant and feel great. From the first day I had no toxicosis or other health problems. I plan to work all the way and in a month and a half I will be back with my girls. We usually have 20 concerts a month, but so far I’ve only missed one.

Is the child's father okay with your decision?

No! Firstly, he knows about my passion for music and understands that for me going on stage is as necessary as breathing. And secondly, we are not only a couple, but also colleagues. The question of whether to work or not to work is not discussed at all! Edgar is an artist, a violinist, like me. We both have strong temperaments. I just can't sit at home! In addition to rehearsals for 5-6 hours a day, I also swim in the pool and walk 10 kilometers. In addition, “SOPRANO” and I have global creative plans for the next six months: premieres of songs, videos, a large tour of the Far East, where we are always greeted with a bang! And for Muscovites we are preparing a great New Year's gift: We are giving a solo concert in the Kremlin for the first time. And for the first time, there will be seven Snow Maidens on the Kremlin stage at once! (Laughs.) I definitely can’t miss this! In general, I'm pregnant and... mad! (Laughs.)

Anna Korolik, FOLK-SOPRANO (enters into conversation): We confirm! To be honest, we are already worried that Iveta will give birth during the rehearsal. She doesn't miss a single one! And now we spend a lot of time in the studio: we are closely engaged in creating an original album. One of our new songs, “Pilot Ivanov,” is very light and cheerful, already in rotation, and on one radio station even in the hit parade. We will perform with her at the upcoming concert “Eh, take a walk” at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. This is not a new scene for us. Last year we performed original songs at the Turetsky Choir concert in front of a huge audience of our common fans of 19,000 people, then at the Song of the Year 2014 festival. We have far-reaching plans. (Smiles.) At the end of autumn, another of our songs will appear on the radio - “Look how beautiful” it is, and by the New Year - my original song “Reflection”. By the way, we recently finished filming a video.

And will it be possible to see it soon?

Olga Brovkina, SOPRANO COLORATURA: We shot a wonderful atmospheric video for Astor Piazzolla's work Oblivion. Everyone has probably heard this music in one form or another, but in our performance it is a classical cosmic aria with words about love conquering circumstances, about the tears of a strong woman, about a man, worthy of love, but which I had to part with. And all this in music, in the rhythm of dance, in emotions to the accompaniment of a bandoneon, no less passionate and exquisite sounding. So very soon you will be able to get into the atmosphere of Argentine tango with us. In the meantime, you can watch our summer video for the catchy song “Summer on the Fly.”

Being beautiful and singing great are things that can be combined. A striking example of this is the soloist of SOPRANO.

Women's art group of the People's Artist of Russia Mikhail Turetsky has no analogues in the world. Only the best of the best were included in the team. These girls have no equal in beauty and vocal abilities. And very soon they will delight our city with their visit. Their concert will take place March 15 V DKiS "Gazovik". It's time to get to know SOPRANO better.

Anna Korolik, 32 years old, Perm, Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins, 10 years in the art group

- When did your musical career begin?

Even as a child, when I mastered folk wind instruments and piano. And it continued first at the Perm Regional College of Arts and Culture, and then at the Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins.

- How and when did you get to Mikhail Turetsky? Was it an accident or a purpose?

I came to the casting on March 8th. In the first round, she sang her own original song and two folk songs. I was very worried. They told me: “Thank you, we have a different format, pop-classical. If anything happens, we’ll call you.” This usually happens when they refuse. Upset, I left the hall where the audition was taking place. At that moment, future sound producer Sergei Kovalsky called out to me: “Anna, wait! I studied your profile, did you sing with Nadezhda Kadysheva and with Toto Cutugno?” I replied: “Yes, it’s true!”

Okay, prepare a pop song for the second round. Do you sight read?

Yes, I am reading. RAM named after I am graduating from the Gnessins. Faculty of National Economy (conductor of the folk choir).

We will be waiting for you, and don’t worry so much!

They called me and invited me to the second round. Fortunately, I got into the top forty, then there was a long selection period. Mikhail Turetsky was present, several people dropped out every week. After six months, twelve girls remained. Ten of them went to the first event in Geneva. Now there are six of us. These are those who have gone through fire, water and copper pipes!

Evgeniya Fanfara, 36 years old, Moscow, RAM im. Gnesins, 10 years in the art group

- Where did you receive your musical education?

I am a graduate of the Russian Academy of Music named after. Gnesins, before studying at one of the leading music universities in the country, she graduated from the Gnessin School, and also toured with the Great Children's Choir. Popova.

- Your personal style icon?

My personal style icon is Ornella Muti. And another one of the most sexy women in the world - Monica Bellucci.

- Who are your main listeners – men or women?

Oddly enough, both men and women love us. Often even wives invite their husbands to our concerts. We are not just singing girls, we are first and foremost artists with serious professional musical education and stage experience. There is a certain balance, a line beyond which we do not go. In modern show business, where, unfortunately, all bets are placed on aggressive sexuality, a woman’s attractiveness is lost. We do not follow this trend. We have something to say to our audience, and nothing should distract them from the main thing - art!

Iveta Rogova, 36 years old, St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts, 10 years in the art group

- Why did you choose music?

I studied music with early childhood. The profession absorbs you completely, it is a kind of self-sacrifice, a task without which everything loses its meaning. We lived and continue to live in the name of music...

- If things don’t go according to plan, what do you usually do?

When it comes to a concert, we are ready to do anything to ensure that the performance takes place on time and at a professional level. For example, on the America-Canada tour, our costumes flew to the other end of the country. I had to call dozens of organizations to return the luggage in time for the performance. There were also incidents on stage. So, at a solo concert at Barvikha Luxury Village in Moscow, my heel got stuck in the ventilation mesh. Everything would have been fine, but it was secured with an ankle strap. By some miracle, I managed to remove the shoe without bending down or helping with my hands. And the costume was so long that I had to sing the last two songs on tiptoe so that none of the spectators would notice (laughs - author's note).

- What is your way to attract a man’s attention?

Probably the look. It should be unexpected, associated with a special turn of the head, a gesture.

Daria Lvova, 32 years old, Ufa, Ufa State Academy of Economics and Service, 10 years in the art group

- How long have you been making music?

She was always with me! After music school and classes in the trio of academic choral singing “Orpheus”, I continued to improve. She studied vocals at the Ufa School of Arts. Graduated from Ufa state academy economy and service, but in the end she still returned to music. She shot her own video as a director, played in KVN, and participated in a variety of music competitions and festivals.

- The most romantic music in the world?

The song Faces alone is not very good famous singer Lena Marlin. In 2006, I accompanied my boy to work in America, at that moment the composition touched my soul. I love her very much and listen to her when I am sad or want to sit and remember the romantic moments of life.

- How do you spend your free time?

Of course, I always dream about the sea, sand, and sun, but this desire comes true only once a year. I am looking for any opportunity to relax with family and friends. I love photography, I think I'm pretty good at it.

Ekaterina Murashko, 22 years old, Harbin, Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins, 3.5 years in the art group

- Can you imagine your life without music?

Let me share a little story. I've been making music all my life, from the very beginning early years. And when the time came to choose a university, everyone unanimously told me: don’t go to music. After all, this can be done at the same time, without higher education. As a result, I entered Moscow State University. Lomonosov to the Faculty of Higher School of Translation. So what do you think? After 2 years, I was already taking exams at the Academy. Gnesins. Still, the music doesn’t let go. I realized that without musical education you are not a musician. And that I will definitely do this all my life. Music is with me 24/7: on stage, in headphones, in films.

- How did it happen that you ended up on Turetsky’s team?

My mother saw a casting announcement on the Internet. She said: “Cool group - go.” When that very day came, I had a lot to do with my studies. Therefore, to my mother’s question: “Well, are you going to the casting?” I didn’t even know what to answer, I forgot about him! I didn’t have any backing tracks or anything with me. In a hurry, I started downloading songs to my phone. Fortunately, I was not far from the place where everything was happening, and I was in time. I had to go through several stages before I was finally accepted into the group. And now, a month later, I stood on stage with the girls with the parts I had already learned!

- What exactly does a man not need to know?

Men should never know how we girls become beautiful: how many times we go to the salon, what hair dye we use, how much effort and money we spend on it. Men should see us as beautiful, not knowing how hard we work to achieve this.

- What is the ideal woman like?

For me this is a woman whose external beauty coincides with the internal one. The ideal woman always looks neat, well-groomed, smart, educated. You don’t have to be a graduate of Oxford or Harvard, it’s enough just to be intellectually developed, able to think and understand. Sensuality is one of the main forms of manifestation of femininity; self-confidence; self-respect.

Tatyana Bogdanchikova, 27 years old, Kiselevsk (Kemerovo region), Moscow State Pedagogical University, 3.5 years in the art group

Why did you choose this particular profession? Have you ever wanted to quit music and do something else?

I was born into a family of musicians and have been surrounded by such an atmosphere since childhood. However, in adolescence, without listening to her mother, she decided to enter the Faculty of Economics and follow in her grandmother’s footsteps as a financier. I studied well, but every time I felt that this profession was not for me. Therefore, in the third year of university, I simultaneously entered the music school. It was very difficult to combine, many said that I couldn’t handle it, but if you have a goal, you don’t see obstacles. I graduated with honors from two educational institutions.

- Why are you in SOPRANO? What did you have to overcome to achieve this?

I moved to Moscow and entered the Moscow State Pedagogical University for part-time studies with a degree in vocal art. After living in the capital for two weeks in search of work, I came across an advertisement for a casting for SOPRANO. I emailed my resume... and they called me back! Well, what can I say, the period of formation in the group was long and difficult, I had to catch up with the girls and learn a lot, no one gave me any concessions, I had to study non-stop. I remember that I went to every rehearsal as if it were an exam, but the work was not in vain. And now I feel that in 3.5 years I have experienced real creative and personal growth. The work is not easy, but very interesting! I consider myself a happy person!

- Should a woman be strong?

A woman has a lot social roles. In the profession you need to be a strong person, resistant to stress, and for a man to give in, because the strength of a woman is in her tenderness.

- Does female friendship exist?

Exists! Of course, the older we get, the less we trust, so I think that the most devoted friends– university. However, even in “adult” life, people appear, including women, who become close to you in spirit.

Other news on the topic

Before 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 intrigue in their team, when they manage to give birth to children and who resolves conflicts within the group.

- Girls, tell me, how friendly is the atmosphere in your group? Otherwise, the women's team is often compared to a serpentarium...

Iveta Rogova:- I can’t say that the women’s team is a snake’s 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’re at work. And, like real men, we forget about everything else. We cannot hide behind a soundtrack, like many of our artists, because we always sing live. We have such plowing - we work “by teeth”.

We have gotten used to each other over the years - after all, Turkish SOPRANO 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 him 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, always smoothes out rough edges?

Iveta Rogova:- When Mikhail Turetsky held the casting, it somehow happened that girls with a very masculine character were gathered. We really are all quite harsh, with a tough position and our own opinion. With us, misunderstandings are immediately revealed, conflicts are quite sharp, but they are quickly resolved by talking head-on. For example, our girls work and study at the same time - some at Gnesinka, some get a second degree. That's why delays happen. And then someone says: “Come on, I won’t be on time either? And in general, let everyone show up three hours later. In short, either we all don’t care about each other, or we are now coming to a common denominator.”

I'm hot-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 quite strict in his work, but not a tyrant. He always has his own opinion and position. But sometimes we use our charms, and like a real man, he succumbs, softens, looking at us. Although he has one caveat. He works from morning to night and loves that others follow his example. So if he comes to our rehearsal, he won’t let anyone go early.

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

Mikhail Turetsky:- Like a big family, we have unwritten but strict rules in our holding: don’t be late, don’t drink alcohol, be in good physical shape. In a word, don’t 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 easier for you to work with – the male “Turetsky Choir” or the female SOPRANO?

Mikhail Turetsky:- It's difficult to compare. It seems to me that if you have a logical relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it’s easy for you to get along with everyone. I can’t answer objectively, because the “Turetsky Choir” is my brainchild, I myself am the “Turetsky Choir”. I am a leader, a showman, I sing 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 a concert at the highest professional level, and everything should contribute to this. We work live, so we have high technical requirements for the concert venue. As for the household rider, everything is extremely simple. We prefer to live alone in the hotel so that we can fully relax before the concert. If we travel by bus, then a mandatory condition is the absence of music in transport. We also have an unspoken rule on the road - “an hour of silence.” This is the time when we don’t talk to each other, we save our voices so that we are in the best shape by the evening. We are convinced that a woman, and especially an artist, should be beautiful, slim and healthy. In our dressing rooms you will never see sausages, carbonated drinks, buns and, of course, alcohol. Just plenty of fruit, drinking water, cheese and fish. In the end, the most important thing is the happy eyes of our fans, the feeling of joy and satisfaction from creativity.

- Female body, maybe hardy, but still weaker than a man... How do you recover after a tour?

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

Tamara Madebadze:- As for the voice itself, every lack of sleep affects it instantly. Flight, time zone change, humidity, sudden changes in heat and cold - everything affects the general condition and voice. We prefer to travel at night, so as not to shake on the bus before the concert. If it’s really bad, then we treat the voices with medications, inhalations, and call a phoniologist to the site. But the best way to give your voice a rest and recovery is to remain silent.

- What about your personal life? Isn't it prohibited under the contract?

Iveta Rogova:- There are no prohibitions on marriage and the birth of children in our contract; moreover, Mikhail Borisovich always tells us that a real woman must first fulfill herself 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 don’t have such a problem, because there are many of us, and we can agree with each other - to go to maternity leave one by one. I can tell you from my own experience. I have a wonderful daughter, Edita. SOPRANO is no longer 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 I gave birth to my second boy. We combine everything!

- Are you all about the same age? Or is there an “elder” in the group?

We all came to the team almost immediately after college, so we are the same age. And as for the “seniors”... Is this a trick question? On stage we are one team. As for everyday creative and organizational matters, everyone has their own area of ​​responsibility: someone supervises the rehearsal process, someone supervises the style, someone makes sure that all creative tasks are planned and implemented on time. For everyone there is a matter in which he is the “elder”, and this is for the good.

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

Daria Lvova:- We have a very busy tour schedule, there are very few days off. We usually 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 a tour, we get together and go for a walk around the city we are in, try to see all the monuments and sights, and if we also manage to go to an exhibition, that’s good luck.

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

And what I like most is when they do hair. After a hectic concert activity, hair restoration is simply necessary. I often get compliments on the topic of beautiful, light and voluminous curls. I'll share a secret with you. In order for the curls to look like those of a Hollywood star, after curling, you need to arrange them correctly and then pull the curl core down with one hand and slightly up with the other.

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

Mikhail Turetsky:- We have not had such situations, simply because there are no contracts. I am probably the only producer in the world who does not enter into contracts with his artists. Colleagues and friends say that this is too romantic a position, but the fact remains: we have no turnover, the artists of the Turetsky Choir and SOPRANO have been successfully working together for many years. Most of the choir soloists have been with me for more than 20 years; these people are true fans of their craft! I selected the girls for SOPRANO over the course of a year, listened to more than three hundred vocalists from all over the country, and selected the best of the best. I initially looked for the real hostages of the profession, those who live through every performance of an aortic rupture. In addition, an important selection criterion was pure quality people: character, determination, ability to work in a team. If a person doesn’t want to create with you, then you need to let him go. It will be better for everyone. And the point here is not at all about contact.

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

Mikhail Turetsky:- I have one useful quality that I began to develop in myself. It's called "ladies' psychologist." As the father of a large number of daughters, it turns out that I didn’t know anything about women until 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 are in life. Does she want to be ambitious and build something, or does she just want to have a good time. A woman is a delicate matter, in which much is built on emotions. She needs a leader, a firm hand and shoulder. Even if you doubt it, you shouldn’t show it to them. Girls feel confident in the future when they have a strong man next to them. I managed to build 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, interested, try to predict possible disputes and prevent them. It seems to me that if you have a logical relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it’s easy for you to get along 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 Emmanuelle is an incredibly charismatic and talented child, so of course I will produce. I think she has a chance to realize herself 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 the 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, taking her first successful steps in the world of music. Perhaps the girls will subsequently want to 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 of you are for one?

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