Great artistry, unique voice, amazingly beautiful and rich. All this is possessed by the “opera queen Tamara”, as Svyatoslav Belza once called her. The life of this woman is full and saturated with music, she has achieved great success not only in creativity. Her personal life has been filled with happiness for many years.

Childhood

Sinyavskaya Tamara - Russian opera singer with a mezzo-soprano voice, was born in 1943, July 6.

Tamara Ilyinichna sang from childhood, arranged "ceremonial concerts". I went into the large foyer of the house with high ceilings and marble stairs and began to sing. Tamara sang until someone came out to find out who was singing in the entrance. So the girl wandered from house to house on her street, until her parents sent her to the House of Pioneers, to the song and dance ensemble of Vladimir Sergeevich Loktev.

At the age of ten, Tamara transferred to the choir. She worked there for 8 years. Loktev's music and stage school was the best at that time, his children's group was even invited to government concerts.

Tamara's inspiration

The future opera star has learned to feel the stage, not to be afraid of the audience. With the ensemble, Tamara Sinyavskaya, whose biography in music was just beginning, made her first trip abroad, to Czechoslovakia.

Sinyavskaya loved songs from films, taught them with pleasure and sang. With the appearance of the Argentinean Lolita Torres on the opera stage, the future Russian diva realized that it was important not only to sing on stage, but also to play an appropriate role. Having learned a lot from her inspirer, Sinyavskaya Tamara Ilyinichna was not lazy and spent hours studying in front of the mirror.

Student time

They say that dreams come true, but Sinyavskaya's dream of becoming a dramatic actress has not been fully fulfilled. Vladimir Sergeevich advised her to enter the school at the Pyotr Tchaikovsky Conservatory. There, Markova became her teachers, and then Pomerantseva.

Tamara did not become a dramatic actress, but she had to go through acting school. She sang in the choir at the Maly Theater. And in the play "The Living Corpse" she even sang in the gypsy choir. As a student at the school, Sinyavskaya Tamara soloed in "Alexander Nevsky" and in the production of "Moscow".

Olga Pomerantseva, teacher of Tamara Sinyavskaya, considered her a hardworking student and a bright singer with a great future.

At the final exams in 1964, she got an A plus. At the time, this was a big exception. Then, at the exam, she was advised to go to an audition at the Bolshoi Theater. Tamara listened tothis advice.

Bolshoi Theater

Vocal data and artistry made a great impression on the masters sitting in the selection committee. And there were great connoisseurs of musical art: Rozhdestvensky, Pokrovsky, Vishnevskaya, Arkhipova.

And now, at the age of 20, without a conservatory education, Sinyavskaya is accepted into a group of trainees. A year later, she becomes a soloist of the main troupe of the Bolshoi. For almost 40 years, her creative life has been associated with this theater.

The very first role of "Page" in the opera "Rigoletto" by Verdi showed that Tamara is suitable to play a drag queen. But once, when most of the troupe went on tour to Milan, she had to perform the part of Olga in the production of Eugene Onegin. Her debut went great. Lemeshev himself said that in his 70 years he finally met the real Olga, whom he imagined. In the performance, the great singer played the role of Lensky.

From the very first performances of Tamara Sinyavskaya at the Bolshoi Theater, it was clear that a real diamond had appeared on the opera stage. But success at such a young age did not turn the singer's head. Performing contr alto and mezzo, she dreamed of a high mezzo party. And she stubbornly walked towards her dream, expanding her vocal range, and with it her creative repertoire. Since the beginning of her musical career, Sinyavskaya has already had several dozen parties. Moreover, these were far from simple performances.

Contests and achievements

Since 1968 Sinyavskaya Tamara has been taking part in international competitions. The first competition brought her a gold medal, it was held in Sofia. On thethe following year, at a competition in Belgium, where Soviet artists took part for the first time, the artist receives not only a gold medal, but also a Grand Prix and an award for the best performance of romances.

In the USSR, an opera diva receives the first Tchaikovsky Prize. It was a year after the Belgian competition. Sinyavskaya Tamara Ilyinichna was the youngest of the winners of the highest prizes. The Tchaikovsky Prize coincided with the final exams at GITIS. In 1973, Sinyavskaya undergoes an internship in Milan, at La Scala.

Tamara Sinyavskaya (see photo below) is not only a great opera singer, but also an excellent actress. She remembers all the roles she played. Sinyavskaya revived them, she could play hooligans, make them laugh. Her last performance at the Bolshoi Theater was the play "The Tsar's Bride" in honor of the centenary of Maria Maksakova. Since 2005, the singer has been the head of the vocal department of GITIS.

Family life

But not only Sinyavskaya's opera career was stellar. In her personal life, she also got a star party.

They met their husband, People's Artist Magomayev in Azerbaijan in 1972. There was a performance of Russian art, where Sinyavskaya Tamara was a guest. She really did not want to go on this trip. But fate has its own plans. She fell in love with the city, the Philharmonic and the young man.

Muslim Magomayev and Tamara Sinyavskaya met at the Baku Philharmonic thanks to their mutual friend Robert Rozhdestvensky. Since then, they have not parted. They got married in 1974, despite the fact that before meeting Muslim, Sinyavskaya was already married and in a relationship withhusband everything seemed to be going smoothly. But "love will come unexpectedly…".

Many women furtively wiped away tears and sighed when they found out that the star couple got married. On the concert stage and in marriage, they were together for 35 years. These years have flown by like one day.

Death is always unexpected, and the death of a loved one is doubly unexpected. Muslim Magomayev passed away in 2008. Tamara Ilyinichna still cannot come to terms with the death of her husband. Listening to his songs, one is not ashamed of tears. There was one love in the life of the “Opera Queen Tamara”, and there was no place for another.

In 2013, Sinyavkaya celebrated her 70th birthday. Let's hope that this great opera diva will delight us with her work for a long time.
