Interview: Three questions to Mykyta Burtsev
Why are you studying opera?
Because it’s the main thing in my life. I love singing on the opera stage, embodying the images of the heroes and give joy to the audience.
What was your first encounter with opera?
In my childhood, when I was 6 years old, my parents let me listen to the recordings of our family friend, the best baritone of my city, Kharkiv Vladimir Boldyrev. Then they took me to his performance of The Barber of Seville. I was absolutely amazed and at this point I started to want to sing like this. Then, during my studies at the conservatory, he became my teacher.
Which is your favourite opera and why?
My favorite opera is Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. I love it for the huge number of brilliant arias and ensembles, the simple but at the same time exciting plot and for the special atmosphere and fresh and inspiring aftertaste after listening or performing it.
