Ferbuary 2020, “Singing Violetta” Inteview for Intermusica with Megan Steller, stellercreative.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of her performances of Violetta and Musetta at the Royal Opera House this February, Vlada Borovko sits down to discuss jump-ins, preparation and getting into character.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you remember when you first realised that you wanted to be a singer? What encouraged you to pursue a career in opera?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I have adored singing since I was a child. Early on, my grandmother established a tradition in our family for children to attend music school, and as a result, several of my relatives have primary music education and good voices, though none decided to become professional musicians! As a child I sang in a choir and singing stayed my hobby until, at the age of 18, I participated in a local competition with distinguished judges, including a soloist from the Bolshoi Theatre. In that competition, I performed an extract from Diva Dance, which featured in the film, The Fifth Element. The panel were really impressed by my natural gift and recommended that I enrol in a music academy and study lyric singing professionally. Up until that moment, I had never thought about a career in opera.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
