@iron_bug You’re right, I don't think I personally know anyone currently in Yekaterinburg. I looked at the ensemble. But our recent Aida had an Amneris from Moscow, Ramfis from Georgia, Sacerdotessa from Armenia, Amonasro from Greece, Messaggero from Mexico, Faraone from South Korea, Radamès and myself from the US, and the director from Israel. I bet we’re no more than three degrees of separation away from each other because of opera, especially with the Yekaterinburg Opera touring!

@meganmariehart@mastodon.social wow! what a geographical variety. over here we usually have local singers performing. sometimes guest soloists come to play in some spectacle. usually from other Russian cities. and very rarely foreign singers. the specifics of our theaters that they have very many shows performed simultaneously. as far as I know many theaters in USA give only one opera for some long period. and in our theater every two days they have a different opera. they switch between like 5-6 spectacles during some time and between opera shows they have ballet. and ballet is also different every time. so they have only one day off - Monday. all the over days they give a performance. this is a very busy schedule for musicians, singers and dancers.
