  • BARITONE CV Sergei Leiferkus Is Considered One of The
    SERGEI LEIFERKUS – BARITONE CV Sergei Leiferkus is considered one of the world’s most renowned performing artists. His ability to convey both nobility and evil makes him most noted for roles such as Scarpia in Tosca, Iago in Otello, Rangoni in Boris Godunov, Telramund in Lohengrin and Alberich in Der Ring des Nibelungen. He has appeared at opera houses throughout the world, among them the Royal Opera House Covent Garden; the Vienna State Opera; the Opéra Bastille, Paris; La Scala, Milan; Deutsche Oper Berlin; San Francisco Opera; the Metropolitan Opera, New York; Lyric Opera of Chicago; Palau de les Arts, Valencia; De Nationale Opera, Amsterdam; Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires; and at the Edinburgh, Bregenz, Salzburg and Glyndebourne Festivals. On the concert podium he has appeared with orchestras such as the London Symphony, Boston Symphony and Montreal Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington DC and Philadelphia Orchestra under conductors including Claudio Abbado, Valery Gergiev, Lorin Maazel, James Levine, Bernard Haitink, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, Kent Nagano, Leonard Slatkin, Vladimir Jurowski, Kurt Masur and Sir Georg Solti. The singer’s repertoire includes almost fifty opera roles, among them Eugene Onegin, Mazeppa, Prince Igor, Ruprecht (The Fiery Angel), Nabucco, Macbeth, Simone Boccanegra, Amonasro, Iago, Don Giovanni, Telramund, Alberich and Klingsor. Almost one third of Sergei Leiferkus’ repertoire comprises Russian music from the 19th and 20th centuries. Most recently he added several new roles to his repertoire. At the Hamburg State Opera, he sang his first Schigolch in the award-winning premiere of Lulu staged by Christoph Marthaler (three act version) and, also at the Hamburg State Opera, the role of L’uomo in the first staged production of Peter Eötvös’ Senza Sangue in Germany.

  • Architecture As Frozen Music: Italy and Russia in the Context of Cultural Relations in the 18Th -19Th Centuries
    Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts - Volume 4, Issue 2 – Pages 123-132 Architecture as Frozen Music: Italy and Russia in the Context of Cultural Relations in the 18th -19th Centuries By Tatiana Samsonova This article deals with the two kinds of art, architecture and music, in their stylistic mutual influence on the historical background of St. Petersburgʼs founding and developing as the new capital of the Russian Empire in the early 18th century. The author highlights the importance of Italian architects and musicians in the formation of modern culture in Russia and shows how the main features of Baroque and Classicism are reflected both in the architecture and music thanks to the influence of the Italian masters. For the first time the issue of the "Russian bel canto" formation resulted from the Italian maestros working in Russia in 18–19 centuries is revealed. Russian-Italian relations originated in the 18th century and covered various cultural phenomena. Their impact is vividly seen in architecture and music in St. Petersburg, which was founded in 1703 by the Russian Emperor Peter the Great whose strong desire was to turn Russia into Europe. As the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin wrote in his "The Bronze Horseman" (1834), "the Emperor cut a Europe window." For St. Petersburg construction as a new Russian capital outstanding Italian architects were invited. The first Italian architect, who came to St. Petersburg, was Domenico Trezzini (1670- 1734), a famous European urban designer and engineer. In the period of 1703- 1716 he was the only architect working in St. Petersburg and the Head of City Development Office.
