Getting to know big artists in the opera world and having the chance to talk with them is a privilege that we will always treasure. Along the way, we met incredible human beings and artists at the same time, some of them having such an important and special place in our hearts. In our 1st anniversary issue, we had Ildar Abdrazakov as our cover star, and imagine how grateful we are to have him on the cover for the second time! If music can’t create beautiful and strong connections, what can? We don’t want to keep you waiting because we know how much you love Ildar and his voice, so we will try to make an introduction as short as possible. In this conversation with Bianca L. Nica, he talks about his most important concerts and productions from the last year and a half, including the upcoming ones. He will soon perform a very challenging role, Boris Godunov and Bianca wanted to know what is the greatest satisfaction that this role gives to its interpreter. Performing it at La Scala means everything is thought out to the smallest details. You should keep reading if you are curious about the production, cast, context, and so many other things about this opera. It is very interesting to discover how he sees this role from the vocal and dramatic points of view. It is said about Ildar that he is the bass with the perfect technique. Is there a secret behind the flexibility of his repertoire? When is the proper time to approach a new role, and how does he perform it so accurately, passionately, and perfectly? We recommend you a cup of coffee because this interview is a lesson and a roller coaster at the same time. Enjoy!
