The guest of the program was Saltanat Akhmetova, Honored Worker of the Republic of Kazakhstan, leading soloist of the Astana Opera, winner of the Russian television project Big Opera.
In the studio, the young opera singer was greeted by children who study music, attend vocal studios and study academic singing.
Saltanat Akhmetova, a talented soloist of the Astana Opera, shared her childhood memories: “Even when I was very little, I visited the Philharmonic, I loved broadcasting classical music on the radio. The classics have always seemed insanely beautiful to me. I dreamed of connecting my life with opera. Music has been with me since childhood. ” Little Saltanat heard the amazing voices of famous opera performers and parodied them with pleasure, was very happy if it was possible to repeat similar sounds.
The guys asked the opera diva about the difficulties in the profession, asked for advice on how to overcome them. We learned that from childhood, parents were very supportive of Saltanat’s interest in music. “This is the best position in life when parents understand the interests of their child,” Saltanat said.
There were many questions from the guys. The opera singer told the children how she copes with excitement on stage, noted that in her free time she likes to listen to soul, blues, and often sings at home in karaoke.
“Now I teach and meet a lot of talented guys with a desire to perform classical music and love for it. Opera is alive as long as there are people who are interested in it, ” Saltanat said.
Under the terms of the program, the Guest had to determine the best question from the children. Saltanat decided to encourage all the children for their participation in the dialogue and gave each participant of the program a ticket for a musical performance at the Karaganda Academic Theater of Musical Comedy.
