On July 7, the "Moscow Nights" festival presents an extraordinary opportunity to see international opera stars in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. Some of the world's best opera singers chose Moscow as part of their European tour, and their concert promises to be one of the most significant cultural events of this summer.
Anna Netrebko (soprano), Ildar Abrazakov (bass), Alexander Antonenko (tenor), and Yekaterina Gubanova (mezzo-soprano) will perform arias from Italian operas, accompanied by the Svetlanov State Symphony Orchestra of Russia, conducted by Marco Armiliato.
The concert is dedicated to the memory of the great Russian singer, Yelena Obraztsova, who would have celebrated her 76th birthday on July 7. Today's brightest stars of modern opera, Anna Netrebko and Ildar Abrazakov, as well as Obraztsova's favorite singers, will take the stage to remember her.
Part of the revenue from ticket sales will go to the Yelena Obraztsova Foundation to support musical arts. Another part will benefit the families of adopted children through the Arifmetika Dobra Foundation.
A limited number of tickets is still available on parter.ru.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
