Darya Ryabinko took part in the opening performance of “Nabucco” by Verdi directed by the American director Yefim Meisel. The XXXVI Chaliapin Opera Festival was opened in the Tatar State academic opera and ballet theatre named after Musa Jalil with this performance. Our soloist sang the role of Fenena, Nabucco’s younger daughter.

“I’m greatly honoured to represent Krasnoyark at such a significant festival. And I always emphasize the fact that I am a Krasnoyarsk citizen and I work at the Krasnoyarsk theatre”, - Darya Ryabinko says. “I believe it’s far from disturbing my work - on the contrary it significantly helps me manage my job. After taking part in such events I enjoy taking, so to say, my “near and dear” stage”.

Besides, on February 4 the Siberian soloist sings the role of Maddalena in the “Rigoletto” opera By Verdi.
