“I love her so much!” Olga said, “She can speak Italian, everything I want. She understood everything and helped me realize it immediately. At the beginning of my career, there were very few female conductors, but now I believe that a good conductor and a singer can satisfy each other and follow the music. "It's important."

Last time, most of the repertoire was decided by the conductor, but this time it was all up to her. She sang Donizetti's "Don Pasquale", Bellini's "Norma", Verdi's "Trovatore", "Sicilian Vespers", Gounod's "Vasco da Gama", Bizet "The Pearl Fishers", Massenet's "Manon" and other classic arias from Italian and French operas.

"Song of Maya"

In the third week of rehearsals, Olga discovered that she was pregnant. At that time, no one except her husband knew the news. But one day during the rehearsal, Skikin suddenly said to her: "What happened to you? Why is your voice different?"

Olga immediately shed tears. "Actually, it was because I was already singing for the baby in my belly. Maybe, somehow, God asked me to make this album."

Later, the record was published and was named "Song of Maya", Maya It was my daughter's name, and she grew up listening to these lullabies.

The human voice is like a delicate instrument, always undergoing subtle changes as time goes by.In Olga's view, what a smart singer should do first is to stay in his or her comfort zone and not try to change easily. But when the time comes, don’t hesitate, adapt to the changes and take bold steps to change.

Sopranos are divided into coloratura sopranos, lyric sopranos, dramatic sopranos and other types. Many people believe that there are clear lines between genres that cannot be easily crossed. But Olga disagreed. "A certain voice can only sing in certain genres and repertoires. This is a strict rule."

She gave an example. Although Leonona in "Il Trovatore" and Gilda in "Rigoletto" have the same voice. It is written according to the genre, but Leonora is more solemn and solemn, while Gilda needs to show the characteristics of a girl, and her voice needs to be transparent and clear. The two characters are very different in personality and age, but their singing techniques and voice types are similar.

Olga on the opera stage

Olga, who debuted as a coloratura soprano, had already begun to challenge some "heavy" roles before giving birth to her daughter, such as Puccini's "Manon Lescaut". It’s the Lyric Soprano’s classic repertoire.

What makes Olga happy is that she can now control more and more of Puccini's works. She has played Liu Er in Puccini's "Turandot", and not long ago she made her debut in "Swallow" in Turin, Italy.

"Society and the audience's perception may be slower. Many people's impression of me is still the same as that of fifteen years ago. They think that I am a coloratura soprano and I will be a coloratura soprano for the rest of my life." Olga said, " My experience is to change according to the change of your own voice. Don’t try to imitate others, just be yourself and let everything take its own course.”
