Iveta, tell us when and how you found out about pregnancy?

I didn’t immediately realize that I was expecting a child. I noticed that my bust has increased and I can’t fit into my usual clothes! I took a test and the result was negative. I made a second one - two stripes. I went for an ultrasound and it turned out that I was already in my fifth week! I immediately sent an SMS to my husband, he was shocked!

Of course, you already know who will be born.

We are expecting a girl! We will train a second shift at SOPRANO. ( Laughs.)

Have you come up with a name for the baby?

I'm due at the end of September, but they haven't come up with a name yet. The husband wants the baby to be named with the letter “E”, since his name is Edgar. We have probably already gone through all the names starting with this letter, but we haven’t finally decided. Emilia, Evelina, Era... I want there to be at least one letter in my name, I even suggested naming my daughter Eveta. The husband jokes: “It’s almost your name!” In general, when we see her, we will immediately feel that it will suit her better.

How did the girls from “SOPRANO"And Mikhail Turetsky himself?

“SOPRANO” is no longer just a team, it is my second family, in which everyone supports each other. Everyone was happy for me, and now they are actively participating in my life. Sometimes it seems to me that we are all waiting for this child together. Here, of course, a lot depends on the producer. When I told Mikhail Borisovich Turetsky that I was expecting a child, he supported and congratulated me, saying that he was happy for me. Unlike many, our maestro is always on the woman’s side and believes that everyone should experience the joy of motherhood, and then make a choice - to continue working or completely leave the profession.

And what choice will you make?

I am now nine months pregnant and feel great. From the first day I had no toxicosis or other health problems. I plan to work all the way and in a month and a half I will be back with my girls. We usually have 20 concerts a month, but so far I’ve only missed one.

Is the child's father okay with your decision?

No! Firstly, he knows about my passion for music and understands that for me going on stage is as necessary as breathing. And secondly, we are not only a couple, but also colleagues. The question of whether to work or not to work is not discussed at all! Edgar is an artist, a violinist, like me. We both have strong temperaments. I just can't sit at home! In addition to rehearsals for 5-6 hours a day, I also swim in the pool and walk 10 kilometers. In addition, “SOPRANO” and I have global creative plans for the next six months: premieres of songs, videos, a big tour By Far East, where we are always greeted with a bang! And for Muscovites we are preparing a great New Year's gift: We are giving a solo concert in the Kremlin for the first time. And for the first time, there will be seven Snow Maidens on the Kremlin stage at once! (Laughs.) I definitely can’t miss this! In general, I'm pregnant and... mad! (Laughs.)

Anna Korolik, FOLK-SOPRANO (enters into conversation): We confirm! To be honest, we are already worried that Iveta will give birth during the rehearsal. She doesn't miss a single one! And now we spend a lot of time in the studio: we are closely engaged in creating an original album. One of our new songs, “Pilot Ivanov,” is very light and cheerful, already in rotation, and on one radio station even in the hit parade. We will perform with her at the upcoming concert “Eh, take a walk” at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. This is not a new scene for us. Last year we performed original songs at the Turetsky Choir concert in front of a huge audience of our common fans of 19,000 people, then at the Song of the Year 2014 festival. We have far-reaching plans. (Smiles.) At the end of autumn, another of our songs will appear on the radio - “Look how beautiful” it is, and by the New Year - my original song “Reflection”. By the way, we recently finished filming a video.

And will it be possible to see it soon?

Olga Brovkina, SOPRANO COLORATURA: We shot a wonderful atmospheric video for Astor Piazzolla's work Oblivion. Everyone has probably heard this music in one form or another, but in our performance it is a classical cosmic aria with words about love conquering circumstances, about tears strong woman, about a man, worthy of love, but which I had to part with. And all this in music, in the rhythm of dance, in emotions to the accompaniment of a bandoneon, no less passionate and exquisite sounding. So very soon you will be able to enter the atmosphere with us Argentine tango. In the meantime, you can watch our summer video for the catchy song “Summer on the Fly.”

Before New Year holidays The singers, together with their leader Mikhail Turetsky, gave an interview to StarHit, in which they shared why there is no place for intrigue in their team, when they manage to give birth to children and who resolves conflicts within the group.

- Girls, tell me, how friendly is the atmosphere in your group? Otherwise, the women's team is often compared to a serpentarium...

Iveta Rogova:- I can’t say that the women’s team is a snake’s ball. In our case, definitely not, because we have no time for envy and intrigue. We don’t even have a normal personal life, we’re at work. And, like real men, we forget about everything else. We cannot hide behind a soundtrack, like many of our artists, because we always sing live. We have such plowing - we work “by teeth”.

We have gotten used to each other over the years - after all, Turkish SOPRANO has existed for eight years. Despite the fact that everyone here is creative and emotional, you gradually understand when it is better not to touch a person, and when it is worth supporting him or, conversely, criticizing him so that he does not stop there and continues to develop.

- What causes conflicts? Who is the most emotional in the team? And who, on the contrary, always smoothes out rough edges?

Iveta Rogova:- When Mikhail Turetsky held the casting, it somehow happened that girls with a very masculine character were gathered. We really are all quite harsh, with a tough position and own opinion. With us, misunderstandings are immediately revealed, conflicts are quite sharp, but they are quickly resolved by talking head-on. For example, our girls work and study at the same time - some at Gnesinka, some get a second degree. That's why delays happen. And then someone says: “Come on, I won’t be on time either? And in general, let everyone show up three hours later. In short, either we all don’t care about each other, or we are now coming to a common denominator.”

I'm hot-tempered. And I know that even if you said something, it’s never too late to apologize. Otherwise, then you will engage in self-criticism.

- Is Mikhail Turetsky a strict leader?

Tamara Madebadze:- He is quite strict in his work, but not a tyrant. He always has his own opinion and position. But sometimes we use our charms, and he's like a real man gives in, softens, looking at us. Although he has one caveat. He works from morning to night and loves that others follow his example. So if he comes to us for a rehearsal, he won’t let anyone go early.

- Mikhail, why can you scold the girls? Do you have rules that no one can break?

Mikhail Turetsky:- Like a big family, we have unwritten but strict rules in our holding: don’t be late, don’t drink alcohol, be in good physical shape. In a word, don’t waste yourself and your time in vain. This is necessary not only for me as a leader, but also for each of the artists in order to be successful for many years.

- Who is easier for you to work with – the male “Turetsky Choir” or the female SOPRANO?

Mikhail Turetsky:- It's difficult to compare. It seems to me that if you have a logical relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it’s easy for you to get along with everyone. I can’t answer objectively, because the “Turetsky Choir” is my brainchild, I myself am the “Turetsky Choir”. I am a leader, a showman, I sing and take part in the show. And in “SOPRANO” I am the producer, the creator of this group.

- Girls, tell us about your rider. Do you have any special requirements?

Each artist approaches the rider differently. The main thing for us is the desire to hold a concert at the highest professional level, and everything should contribute to this. We work live, so we have high technical requirements for the concert venue. As for the household rider, everything is extremely simple. We prefer to live alone in the hotel so that we can fully relax before the concert. If we travel by bus, then prerequisite– lack of music in transport. We also have an unspoken rule on the road - “an hour of silence.” This is the time when we don’t talk to each other, we save our voices so that we are in the best shape by the evening. We are convinced that a woman, and especially an artist, should be beautiful, slim and healthy. In our dressing rooms you will never see sausages, carbonated drinks, buns and, of course, alcohol. Just plenty of fruit, drinking water, cheese and fish. In the end, the most important thing is the happy eyes of our fans, the feeling of joy and satisfaction from creativity.

- The female body may be resilient, but it is still weaker than the male one... How do you recover after a tour?

Mikhail Turetsky always says that an artist must learn to meditate on the road. I have mastered this method, and moving is no longer tiring. On tour, we try to sleep normally, relax, accumulate energy for performances, and also take face masks with us, which help to relax and nourish the skin. As for the voice, it should be trained rather than protected. Over so many years, we have learned to hear ourselves, “negotiate” with our own body and prevent a serious cold. Therefore, we don’t bring ourselves to the stage where it’s no longer possible to sing.

Tamara Madebadze:- As for the voice itself, every lack of sleep affects it instantly. Flight, time zone change, humidity, sudden changes in heat and cold - everything affects the general condition and voice. We prefer to travel at night, so as not to shake on the bus before the concert. If it’s really bad, then we treat the voices with medications, inhalations, and call a phoniologist to the site. But the most best way let your voice rest and recover - remain silent.

- What about your personal life? Isn't it prohibited under the contract?

Iveta Rogova:- There are no prohibitions on marriage and the birth of children in our contract; moreover, Mikhail Borisovich always tells us that a real woman must first fulfill herself as a mother, then as a wife, and only after that as a professional. Then she will be completely happy, self-sufficient and will be able to give sincere positive emotions to the public. We don’t have such a problem, because there are many of us, and we can agree with each other - to go to maternity leave one by one. I can tell you from my own experience. I have a wonderful daughter, Edita. SOPRANO is no longer just a team, it is my second family, in which everyone supports each other. Everyone was happy for me. And now we have one of the soloists on maternity leave - Valeria Devyatova– a month ago I gave birth to my second boy. We combine everything!

- Are you all about the same age? Or is there an “elder” in the group?

Anna Korolik:- We all came to the team almost immediately after college, so we are the same age. And as for the “seniors”... Is this a trick question? On stage we are one team. As for everyday creative and organizational affairs, everyone has their own area of responsibility: someone supervises the rehearsal process, someone supervises the style, someone makes sure that all creative tasks are planned and implemented on time. For everyone there is a matter in which he is the “elder”, and this is for the good.

- How many times a year do you have vacation and for how many days?

Daria Lvova:- We have a very dense tour schedule, there are very few days off. We usually have two weeks of vacation a year, but not always, so we try to combine business with pleasure. Sometimes, when we have free time during a tour, we get together and go for a walk around the city we are in, try to see all the monuments and sights, and if we also manage to go to an exhibition, that’s good luck.

Iveta Rogova:- The best remedy for beauty and youth is sleep. But as a young mother, this does not threaten me even after the tour. There are tricks. A little life hack: to refresh your look after sleepless nights on the road, you need to apply makeup internal corner eyes with light shadows. I also love doing SPA pedicures. Feet after wearing heels need have a good rest and care.

And what I like most is when they do hair. After a hectic concert activity, hair restoration is simply necessary. I often get compliments on the topic of beautiful, light and voluminous curls. I'll share a secret with you. In order for the curls to look like those of a Hollywood star, after curling, you need to arrange them correctly and then pull the curl core down with one hand and slightly up with the other.

- Mikhail, for what reason might one of the girls leave the group or break the contract?

Mikhail Turetsky:- We have not had such situations, simply because there are no contracts. I am probably the only producer in the world who does not enter into contracts with his artists. Colleagues and friends say that this is too romantic a position, but the fact remains: we have no turnover, the artists of the Turetsky Choir and SOPRANO have been successfully working together for many years. Most of the choir soloists have been with me for more than 20 years; these people are true fans of their craft! I selected the girls for SOPRANO over the course of a year, listened to more than three hundred vocalists from all over the country, and selected the best of the best. I initially looked for the real hostages of the profession, those who live through every performance of an aortic rupture. In addition, purely human qualities were an important selection criterion: character, determination, ability to work in a team. If a person doesn’t want to create with you, then you need to let him go. It will be better for everyone. And the point here is not at all about the contract.

- You have a feminine kingdom at home and the same at work. How are you coping?

Mikhail Turetsky:- I have one useful quality that I began to develop in myself. It's called "ladies' psychologist." As the father of a large number of daughters, it turns out that I didn’t know anything about women until I started working with the SOPRANO project. Then I realized that I need to understand with what baggage a woman goes through life, how she looks into the future, what her goals are in life. Does she want to be ambitious and build something or just want to have a good time. A woman is a delicate matter, in which much is built on emotions. She needs a leader, a firm hand and shoulder. Even if you doubt it, you shouldn’t show it to them. Girls feel confident in the future when they are with you strong man. I managed to build a model of an art group in which there is no conflict of interest. To maintain a healthy environment in the team, the artist must be properly motivated, interested, try to predict possible disputes and prevent them. It seems to me that if you have a logical relationship with the world around you, and it is correct, then it’s easy for you to get along with everyone.

- Your daughter Emmanuelle began to sing. Do you plan to produce it in the future? Would you like her to be a solo singer or sing in a group?

Mikhail Turetsky:- I think Emmanuel is incredibly charismatic and talented child, so, of course, I will produce. I think she has a chance to realize herself in both directions - both solo and in a group. Emma will take part in big musical projects with an audience of millions. She clearly has the predisposition to be a solo star. By the way, of all my daughters, Emma is the most musical. All my girls are creative, but she stands out. Now the younger, no less talented Beata is growing up, taking her first successful steps in the world of music. Perhaps the girls will subsequently want to create a group and call it, say, “Turkish Sisters.”

- And now a question for the girls. Can you say that each of you is for all, and all of you are for one?

Tamara Madebadze:- Definitely yes. Of course, we can argue among ourselves, seek the truth, but this is normal, natural, like in a family. Ultimately, everyone understands that everyone's success is the success of the entire team.

She acted in films, worked in Lenconcert, created a rock group where she sang her own songs. By the way, the lyrics for many songs from the Soprano repertoire — also her handiwork. Sneakers, boots and sneakers complement her style. Harmony in everything is extremely important for Iveta.

Before the concert at the Voronezh Opera and Ballet Theater, three soloists of the Soprano 10 group - Iveta Rogova, Victoria Wood and Valeria Devyatova - spoke with journalists. Iveta mostly answered the questions; two other girls clarified facts regarding their personal creative path.

The Soprano 10 team has been in existence for five years. When he was not there, Mikhail Turetsky said that he dreamed of creating women's choir“non-singing cowards,” dreamed of raising the bar for female performing skills on the stage. Was it difficult to get into the Soprano 10 team?

Iveta Rogova:- It was a tough selection, or rather even shooting. The requirements couldn't have been higher - naturally, a higher musical education, mastery of at least English, instruments, having your own manner of performance, your own style. It is advisable to have concert experience. Plus stage appearance. Until now, if someone who is large but very talented comes to a casting, he is offered to lose weight. We are all current soloists weighing no more than 60 kg. In addition, all current soloists are winners of all-Russian music competitions. I won violin and composer competitions, in romance games, although I am not a romance singer, I had my own jazz group in St. Petersburg. The three of us are winners of beauty contests in our cities, I am in St. Petersburg, Valeria is in Kemerovo. We are all from different cities of Russia. When we went to the casting in Moscow, it was not easy to break down, because each of us in our city was one of the best vocalists.

Victoria Wood:- It was easier for me in this regard, I am from Moscow.

- Has the composition changed over the past 4 years?

Iveta:- Eight is our main team. Our girls are all between the ages of 21 and 35. Vika is new; the girl who came before her got married and went abroad. Lera was there from the very beginning, she just left for a while and then returned.

- Can they take you back?

Iveta:- Turetsky is the kind of person who has difficulty parting with personnel; in this regard, he is a conservative. Even when he gets angry, he threatens, but if he understands that a person is talented, he will meet him halfway. We are all human.

Vetch: - Being new is difficult. It takes a long time to get into the material, you need to cover everything that has been developed before you for 5 years. And every soloist must know the hundred works of repertoire by heart.

- Why are you being fined?

Iveta Rogova:- There is a fine for being late. Recently there was a fine of 5 thousand rubles. We have a rehearsal every day - 6-8 hours. This includes choreography, directing, stage movement, fitness, choral and solo singing. There is no way you can be late. If there is no strict discipline, we will crumble. This is vital at the pace we are working. Now there were 43 concerts in two months.

- Isn’t it difficult in a women’s team?

Iveta:- We do not have a female team in the usual sense of the word. We have a strong masculine side. No one will stand around the corner with a crooked gun. We have the opportunity to agree through logic. And on stage we are already becoming energetically stronger than the male “Turetsky Choir”. The audience feels it too.

- In four years, have you gained regular listeners and fans?

Iveta:- We have a fan from Moscow, she follows us around the cities and gives us flowers. And in general they give a lot of things. Recently, a cake was presented with the inscription “Soprano 10” in Perm, locally made. Down scarves were given as gifts in Orenburg. Most often they present something local, something that the region is known for outside its borders.

- Can the program change from concert to concert?

Iveta:- Changes depending on the well-being of the soloists. We all sing live. If there are parts that require special physical intervention, we remove these works. The concert lasts 2.5 hours.

- What is Mikhail Turetsky like as a leader?

Iveta:- Demanding, reasonable, fair, emotional. He is an artist and producer rolled into one. This makes it both easy and difficult at the same time. If the producer side says to act tough, according to the rules, without sparing anyone, then the creative side whispers that these are women, they are talented, they may have their own problems. It would be true to say that Mikhail Turetsky is quick-tempered, but easy-going.
