Evgeny Zaitsev - young talented actor

The musical "Phantom of the Opera" raised the career of the young artist to an unprecedented height. Fans shower it with letters with confessions of love. And after many successful performances Yevgeny Zaitsev is still tormented with doubts about the correctness of the chosen specialty and life path.

Biography of the artist

The future performer of musicals was born in Nizhny Tagil maternity hospital on October 13, 1986. He studied at an ordinary high school. Zhenya's parents work in the theater, and this circumstance left a deep imprint on his entire future life. No day in the artistic family could not do without any jokes-jokes. His father even joked about this, that in the house there is not a single person working profession. From early childhood, the boy imitated artists, read poetry, was fond of acting, and at school took part in festive productions and performances.

From the age of six, Yevgeny Zaitsev began to seriously study vocal. As a child, the future actor made a lot of efforts in order to gain experience necessary for this profession. After leaving school, the young man had a choice: to continue his studies at the music school by the class of guitar or go to the theater.

The teacher in the studio, which he visited during his school years, Zhenya, advised to enter the theater institute on the branch of musical comedy, because you can play and sing and dance there.

Choice of life path

Deciding to conquer the theatrical stages, the young man after leaving school in 2004 submits the documents to the Ekaterinburg State Theater Institute for the "Actor of Musical Theater". There our hero was trained in the studio under the guidance of the People's Artist of Russia, professor and wonderful teacher Strezhnev Kirill Savelievich.

At the beginning of his creative career, the young artist played mostly small episodic images and even drunkards. But then there were the main roles in major productions, and Eugene plunged into the work with his head.

Moving to Moscow

Before leaving for his hometown there was a free day, and the actor decided to try his hand at the casting "Sounds of Music" by the company "Stage Entertainment", which was held at the same time in Moscow.

After returning home to Ekaterinburg, Zhenya found out that he had gone to the second round of competitions. Then he went to Moscow and went through a third round. By the way, in the theater he did not tell anyone about casting. The artist was already thinking about moving to the capital and working there, but he needed a very serious clue. As a result, when he was offered a role in the production of "Sounds of Music", Evgeny had to make a decision. It was given to him with difficulty. There were both throwing and doubts. Our hero came to Kirill Savelievich, and he blessed him. They parted very well and agreed that within six months a novice musician will visit Yekaterinburg, while new artists will be approved for his role.

But, for example, in the play "The Phantom of the Opera", the hero Raul in one of the episodes jumps from a three-meter height to the abyss. In the first days of rehearsals after jumping, Yevgeny even refused a waist, he could not walk. But quickly took himself in hand, began to train and maintain a good physical shape.

Therefore, the actor every day doing sports at home, as well as pilates a couple of times a week.
