Творческий вечер Елены Ионовой

On the 3rd of April a recital of Elena Ionova, a soloist of our theatre and Moscow operetta theatre, took place in "Helikon-Opera". A recital was devoted to singer's jubilee. Friends and colleagues came to congratulate Elena, among them were People's Artists of Russia Tatiana Shmyga and Vladimir Zeldin, People's Artist of Russia Gerard Vasiliev, Honoured Artists of Russia Alexey Volkov, Vadim Zaplechny and Leonid Serebrennikov, as well as Gayane Apetyan, Maria Vlasova, Tatiana Orobinaksya, Viktoria Smirnova, Mikhail Davydov, Aleksey Derendyaev,  Stanislav Shvets. The presenters were Natalia Dychenko and Ditry Shumeyko.

The party went in friendly atmosphere. Elena sang several excerpts from famous arias and operettas, among them were Lisa's aria from "The Queen of Spades" by P. I. Tchaikovski, which artist sang for the first time ever, as a "present for herself" as she confessed. The guests also sang different arias, romances and songs, many in duet with Elena Ionova. Warm words and greetings were addressed to the soloist for the whole evening. The bouquets handed to Elena were outnumbered.
