Kontsert sarjas "Musica Aeterna". Maria Guleghina (sopran), Ivari Ilja (klaver)

Maria Guleghina, performing in Estonia for the first time, is one of the world’s most acclaimed dramatic sopranos, who has been greeted with standing ovations by audiences on the stages of many leading opera houses. Her title roles in Puccini’s operas “Tosca” and “Turandot” have been particularly highly praised. Enrico Stinchelli has called Guleghina “the most remarkable dramatic soprano of her generation” in his book “Greatest Stars of the Opera”. Maria Guleghina and pianist Ivari Ilja are also connected by previous musical collaboration. It is a great joy and honor to present these outstanding interpreters to the Estonian audience.

Pianist Ivari Ilja on kõrgelt hinnatud nii sooloesinejana kui ka suurepärase ansamblistina. Aastate jooksul on ta teinud koostööd paljude nimekate orkestrite ja dirigentidega ning olnud lavapartneriks mitmetele rahvusvahelistele ooperitähtedele. Ilja on osalenud erinevate rahvusvaheliste klaverikonkursside žüriides ning panustab aktiivselt muusikaellu klaveriprofessorina. Ta on Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia rektor ning Eesti Muusikanõukogu president.
