Aida Garifullina Gala Concert

Artistic and virtuosic, sensual and stylish — all of this perfectly describes Aida Garifullina. With a soprano of rare beauty, the Honored Artist of Russia and Tatarstan and first-prize winner of the legendary Operalia international competition founded by Plácido Domingo, she has captivated audiences around the world.

Her voice has been heard on the renowned opera stages of Paris and Salzburg, London and Milan, New York and Buenos Aires. “When she appears, it feels as though an incredible hurricane has swept across the stage; her voice is magnificent,” critics have noted.

On December 16, the world opera star will present a gala concert at the Mikhailovsky Theatre. The program will feature the most celebrated arias from the singer’s repertoire, accompanied by the Mikhailovsky Theatre Orchestra under the direction of its Chief Conductor and Music Director, Alexander Solovyov.
