Feodulova Svetlana - Russian diamond of the purest water

Svetlana Feodulova is very young, but her interest in her work is great both in Russia and abroad.

Childhood and studies

In a family of Russian employees in Moscow, May 12, 1987, a daughter was born, who was named the Candle. In the family Feodulov music was fond of. The pope of the future singer had a good ear, my mother graduated from the music school and dreamed of becoming a singer or an actress in her youth, but it did not work out. Of course, music enthusiasts began to teach their daughters to play the piano at the music school. Chaliapin. Therefore, when adults noticed that the daughter has a voice, then she was sent to audition at the age of seven.

Feodulova Svetlana immediately attracted the attention of teachers. She happily gathered everything that was required: an absolute hearing, an amazing voice, covering five octaves, musicianship and artistry. So Feodulova Svetlana came to the children's choir them. Popova quickly became his soloist. But there was also complexity. Her high voice soared above the chorus, not merging with him. In an ensemble or chorus, this type of voice stands out prominently, and a lot of effort must be made not to spoil it, to achieve a consonant sounding that the child has succeeded. Organizationality and discipline allowed the girl to do well everywhere - in the music and general education schools, where Sveta was interested in both exact (mathematics and physics) and humanitarian (literature, history) sciences. At the age of 8 Feodulova Svetlana first appeared on stage with Pletnev's orchestra. Behind the scenes was very scary. But on the stage, having felt the warm reception of the hall, singing several encores, the girl realized that she would be a singer.

Movement towards artistic activity

But to become a professional who can use all the possibilities of a unique voice given by nature, one must learn a lot. And future singer Svetlana Feodulova studies both in Moscow and in Italy, takes lessons from opera singers and even pop singers, and has good vocal teachers who understand the specifics of the coloratura soprano.

The phenomenal voice of Svetlana Feodulova

In recent years opera standards have changed a lot. Now the fashion for stronger voices, you can even say dramatic. Therefore, purely coloratura parties are performed by mezzo-coloratura sopranos, for example, "Doll of Olympia" by Jacques Offenbach. Previously it was different. The privilege was given to easy voices, which sang airily, mobilely. Their timbres are faster. And the coloratura soprano sang parties written for lower voices. For example, Nadezhda Nezhdanoff or Valeria Barsova performed in Verdi's La Traviata.

The type of voice Svetlana Valeryevna differs in that, with a small effort, with a little breath, it can be heard well in such large halls as the halls of La Scala, the Mariinsky Theater and the Bolshoi Theater. The sound of this voice easily flies the orchestra, and it is audible everywhere, because the high notes are very flighty. You can pay attention to the fact that when strong soprano sing on pianissimo, they are heard better. But for Svetlana with a voice there is still enough work. She has an impeccable top, and, according to the singer herself, the upper octave is the most beloved one. In the fourth octave she enters with pleasure. But the coloratura sound is sonorous, sometimes it is difficult to make it soft. The specific character of the coloratura voice also consists in the fact that it is easy to go to the upper notes, making coloratura there, just as easily it turns out to sing on the lower notes, reaching the fa of a small octave. But here is the middle, a few transitional notes represent complexity and, so that it turns out, one must seek sensations, sing special vocalizations and exercises. But the young singer also has a thoughtful attitude to the work, and an analysis of everything that has already been done. She talks with calm pleasure about the record in Russia and the Guinness Book in 2010, when she received the title "The highest female voice on the planet". In Russia, the singer lives on the 9th floor, and when she starts singing at home, especially if it happens in the summer and the windows are open, then a crowd of listeners gathers downstairs. This confirms once again that high notes are very flighty.

Repertoire

Of course, in it there reign those parties and romances in which the whole charm of a high pure voice opens with its filigree accuracy. The aria of the Olympia doll from the opera Offenbach or the Queen of the Night from Mozart's Magic Flute is wonderful artistically on the pointe shoes. In the process of execution the plant at the doll ends, and it, folding almost in half, ceases to sing. But the master with the key comes out, drives the doll, and she makes a charming gesture, showing that she should be kissed on the cheek, then continues to sing. Another interesting modern moment is the performance of the Diva Aria by the Plavalaguns from the movie "The Fifth Element". Ahead is the work on G. Prokh's virtuoso variations, which no one has heard for fifty years, since there were no corresponding voices. Also in the plans of the singer "Nightingale" Alyabyeva and Saint-Saens and "Ave Maria" IS. Bach.

Bright miracle in Prague

In 2011, with Svetlana, a mystical story happened. She accidentally gave out a free evening. The girl was walking along the Charles Bridge and made a wish - to meet one and only. And the next day all the impresario, as agreed, released her from work. She called friends and went to visit their friends. When everyone gathered, the door flew open, and the prince came in from a fairy tale, which gave Sveta all the evening gazes and smiles. His name was Sergey Khomitsky. In his youth, he dreamed of a girl, and he captured her image on paper. This was a portrait of Svetlana, which is carefully kept in their family. And Sergei made a proposal when they were riding a boat across the Vltava. A lavish wedding dress was made in Italy. Bridal bouquet and accessories Light has chosen the most romantic. And the wedding itself was celebrated forty kilometers from Prague in an old small castle. First came the car of the groom, then - the bride. They were welcomed by trumpeters in the costumes of the 19th century. A little girl was walking along the carpet and throwing pink petals in front of the young couple. When the ceremony and the buffet was over, everyone went to Prague, to the restaurant "Leon and Anna". There they were waited by parents with bread and salt. And also was fortunate to break down the dishes. Every year on the wedding day, a young couple rides a steamer, remembering the best moments of their life together.
