On March 2, Oxana Shilova will perform the title role in Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata and on March 5 she will give a solo recital.
This is not the singer’s first visit to the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre. She performed the part of Violetta Valery in the premiere production of La Traviata staged by Charles Roubaud and brought over to Vladivostok in 2015. Later Oxana Shilova also performed at the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre in the opera Carmen, in chamber concerts and in the Primorsky premiere of Das Rheingold together with Mariinsky soloists and the Mariinsky Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev on 1 November of 2016.
Oxana Shilova’s coloratura soprano is rightfully acclaimed as one of the most beautiful voices of the Mariinsky opera. Richness of expressive nuances, purity of sound and intonation, virtuoso technique - these are the vocal qualities that invariably attract attention of the audience to this talented and charming singer.
Recognizing the soloist’s mastery. critics authoritatively state that her deep and full voice sounds easily in vocal pieces of various styles and degrees of complexity. Oxana Shilova’s versatility of vocal colours will be demonstrated at her solo recital, which is to take place at the Chamber Hall of the Primorsky Stage on March 5.
The concert programme is distinguished by an exquisite taste and rare stylistic refinement: it presents two national romantic vocal schools - the French and the Italian ones. The diversity of content and emotional verve will satisfy the tastes of the most sophisticated listeners.The scheduled works include arias from operas by Jules Massenet, Georges Bizet, Charles Gounod, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi.
