Lets go on a trip to belarus. Lubol district is a place to live, green, cozy, quiet. The kalebavaromensky highway gave impetus to the development of many settlements, including red. Its true to get to the krynics. But you definitely need to do this on foot, well, greedily to earn money somewhere. With us you will receive a charge of positive emotions. This is such a cool feeling, it even seems like a rainbow to me i saw and i felt like a bird , look at me, look, pay attention, here is such a goat, between us they pay her, well, theres always a pack of dry goods, visit the bright sights of our country. Tourists come here. From all over the country to try the unique belarusian bread , 33 steps separate believers from the earthly to the sublime, they symbolize the life span of jesus christ, they say you can overcome this distance in one breath, see the program for the route built on the belarus 24 tv channel. Hello, you are watching the program say dont be silent, in the studio of victoria popova and tatyana shurbina. And today we have a welldeserved guest. Artist of the republic of belarus irina darofe. Hello irina. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. The twentythird anniversary year in your creative biography, you do not hide the numbers, as we understand. Well, why hide the numbers . Well, uh, they should be proud. It seems to me that for any girl, well, in general , its nice when she always remains young, but here its like 30 years of the stage, 30 years is a good anniversary, 30 years is a good age for a girl, we have a lot. An interesting selection of how it all began, lets take a look, lets wilt from ogoga, naganovya, that means i will live, that means i will live, i sing songs for people, which means i will live, what rises, so that fly away, fly away, fly away, migratory bird, drew the sky, drew the rain, drew a house where you dont live, its there. So long ago, the idea of us, and so on and so forth, we stopped in the fifth year, but i even hear the smells of those concerts that i managed to attend, in general, tears in my eyes theyre welling up, because well, this is your whole life before your eyes, the first thing that catches your eye, it seems to me, irina, you havent changed, at least outwardly for the audience you remain just as beautiful, dont you agree . I probably need to ask the audience how much i am changing or not changing, of course, i always want to be beautiful, i always want to be spiritual and bring light. Have you found your style, how about the look that makes you most comfortable . Yes, finally, one might say, after 30 years, i always dreamed of being a rock singer, i about i said this and i have such a drive, such energy has always come from me. Harsh or what to say, at the same time it turned out that my lyrics sound very warm, yes, lyrical works, i ve always had this kind of contradiction in myself, either im so very soft or very hard, but now i guess , i am in harmony with myself, i have a stand in my hands, this feeling of such a drive of pressure, which on the one hand restrains me, and at the same time. At the same time i can be soft and trembling when this necessary, but how are you living your anniversary year, did you manage to implement all your plans, i think you succeeded, because firstly , i always somehow associated my anniversary with the stage of the slavic bazaar in vitevsk, this year i was not only a member of the jury of the International Competition for young performers, an adult competition, and i had an anniversary concert on the stage of the summer. Theater , it was my childhood dream, these were my first steps in the ninetythird year at the competition, by the way, i managed to fall and stumble live on the belarusian tv channel, there was a lot small, that is, it turns out that all the contestants were so confused, but then i straightened the line, smiled, cheered everyone up nicely and the members of the jury remembered me then, today i ll interrupt this trick of so many hollywood stars, theyre all just coming out. For the oscar they definitely fall this artist, but nevertheless i remember that Vladimir Georgievich mulyavin and vladimir, they were then, and this is the tag, thats what i will probably always remember about this, because that was the moment when i understood that everything its just beginning and you need to believe in yourself very strongly, to make a wish on this happy stage, when i looked at these stars, just such a world. The significance of the allunion, yes, peoples artists, all such real bridgedonts, legends, then i had a dream to become such an artist, so that a big solo concert, so that there would be a lot of spectators, and this concert took place this year, and it turns out that you are a little bit of a witch, but not all the artists who make wishes, dorofe, this is beautiful, another grandiose solo concert was held the day before at the creator of the republic, program you are slavic the bazaar in vitebsk has been changed a little, but well watch your bronze performance from the palace. It whistles like that, at which concert it should be like that, yes, at which concert it was more comfortable, warmer, or what . I always feel sorry for artists like. Who perform in vitebsk, they are naked, and its cold there, and i think whether its cold for you to sing there or not, no, in fact, the weather in vitebsk was amazing, it was very warm, comfortable, but i can admit that probably not every artist could do it on an open stage, in such strictly staged to fit within the framework of such a Concert Program with which i performed, because it was accompanied by the president ial orchestra of my musicians, with whom i have been working for. More than 20 years, and the rehearsal was minimal, carried out in a short time, they literally gave us an hour we didnt have time for the adjustment, so if i probably hadnt had such a good rehearsal held in the palace of the republic before, most of the program was already ready, although we wrote a lot of the work right before the slavic bazaar, scores are no longer written in one day, here is the wonderful arranger alexander lepnitsky, he just did a tremendous job, but probably the president ial orchestra could reproduce it all so masterfully, so the concert, which was a slavic bazaar, i had it all at such a tight pace, lets be honest, because not only did i scold the competition , not only did i literally need to, but our participant just sang the Funeral Service and in 5 minutes i had to move behind the scenes, which is located, that is, i had to go around the whole amphitheater, run around, fly in, put on a suit, change clothes, go out at the joint while the final song is playing, and start the program as if nothing had happened, but of course, you need to have endurance, that is, i was probably worried, just like in 1993, when i first appeared on this stage, they were about the same. We noticed that many new compositions, new authors have appeared, you are quite good at such acquaintances, you are open, you go to them with pleasure, or you still prefer, well, already proven ones songwriter, i can say that i have fifty 50 50, these are famous composers and authors, perhaps with whom i have wanted to work for a long time, and we just find some songs. Which have already become famous hits performed by, say, the group suzore or yuri antonov, and i really want to somehow perform these works in my own way, we go out to the authors and communicate, but maybe irina sings differently, well make new ones, forward from song, and there are authors too, lets say some songs that we find in on the internet, they are put up for sale in russia, we recently just heard an amazing song by a bashkir author, ral rashitov has a song in the bashkir language , we really suddenly felt such a belarusian interpretation, our belarusian author pavel taipov, he made a belarusian translation of this song, i say, oh , i want to sing this song, and we found a bashkir author, we found our belarusian one, and built bridges here and there, even when i went to ufa, probably the song grows with you, the love of the viewer, it gains popularity, and there is there are probably some children born directly in love, love, we have an example of one of these children, i mean the timetested hit belarus is strong and we will show you a fragment of how you are greeted in the minsk arena with this song. Blame belarus, belarus is beautiful, most mine, most mine, love. I watched songs from 15 years ago already in the seventh year, well, i was surprised, to be honest, it hits so well, but today, it seems like it was written yesterday, yes, its nice to sing such songs, so. You dont lose interest in them they are always relevant, because such songs give both faith and strength, this one charges us with energy, they unite us, i also thought that this genre of patriotic song, it somehow took root, and in belarus specifically, we have many authors, performers, they began to look for themselves in this style, but despite the abundance of patriotic and lyrical songs in your repertoire, as you said, still. I swear, it seems to me that the rock style suits you best, of course, and i want again let me give you a piece from your speech, today is our day views, bridges, we are on the wings of a dream, we will end with you, the wind is calling us and singing about something, there is a device under us. His wife, vasli, we are captives, we study with you, not for you, ours are with you, my beginning, coming from us. Oh, on the wings of a dream, the wind will set in, sing about something, the scion is under us. Oh at this moment viktor naumnik throws the guitar every time, i always think, my god, such an expensive instrument, if only he could catch it, well, the show doesnt mind anything, of course, well, what is it, irina, what is it, it seems to me, in an adult way, yeah, theres also everything is ecstasy, and so is the music cafe. There is real music here, there is creativity, and this is the result of the work of a huge number of people, of course, these are the authors, wonderful, these are magnificent, orchestral arrangements, that is, we are already making arrangements here, because in principle everything still lives on stage without orchestra, lets be honest, but to have the opportunity to accompany the president ial orchestra, to perform, my first concert with this orchestra was in 2003, it turns out 20 years ago, i celebrated the tenth anniversary then, and musicians, these are my living, relatives who improvise on stage, im listening, andrey terebezh, viktor naumik, a wonderful drummer, andrey mavrin, who works in the orchestra, im afraid now, well , of course, weve also added dudar, here is yuri krivashey, valery bashkov, well, in general , a wonderful composition, yuri gerashchenko, i am very grateful to everyone. Because well, this is love, love for music, all the real creators of the stage, and what kind of ballets, costumes, and your love for a dress with sequins, lets discuss it, well, i i cant fully call myself such a magpie , i quite like muted tones, everything nude, but the scene should all be on fire, everything should shine, it requires some bright. Images in order to stand out against the background of Something Like this the number of characters on stage, and these costumes were developed. Were sewn, i can only share that this is still my style, because everything was sewn specifically for me, developed, and there is a lot of design work here, of course, in this case it was valentina neborskaya, then i work with another wonderful fashion designer, this is anastasia folkovich, and at the festival, already in the slavic bazaar, marina parfinovich joined me, who also made my costume. Back to the mir castle 2007, yes, everyone has been working for a long time and you have found each other , its great when people feel you, when they understand what you want, and you change on stage, you should feel comfortable , as if on you second skin, so that nothing interferes with your breathing, working, i really agree, i agree that this is your style, because this is what it is and you carry it through all the years, but in the comments we read irina that i want to see her. Already, i dont know, in some more formal outfit or something, a fan of some kind has grown up, how do you generally feel about this, about this kind of comments that you grew up on my songs, yes, i dont even have anything to answer this question, it seems to me , i perform in such a way as to fit the image and convey my main idea, if someone is distracted from the spiritual component by my legs, is that also good . You might feel comfortable in some ball gowns, going on stage, if it corresponded, you know, to the set tasks, the directors, for example, the repertoire , i play in the theater, for example, i have the role of mrs. Fairfax, a wonderful play of jair, which i have been playing in for more than 5 years , and thank god, the audience always comes, by the way, on october 25th there is a performance, another one, and there im really on adrenaline , you know, with such a special hairstyle, and of course, in this case i correspond to this role, my image, im all in everyone i like it, i feel great, it just seems to me that the stage is just wonderful, yes irina, you can say that this is the most organic place for you, here on earth, on the stage, this is the place where i can fully open up, i think i find that real freedom, like. Yes, i can throw out all my feelings, all my emotions, i can be who i am, well, what i really am, but this is such a real ecstasy, but is it right when they say that the artist must be nervous or there are concerts when you dont even have time to think about what youll be there now, well, even this vitebsk surprised me that i had to escape from the jury to the stage right away, but there is always excitement, but in my case, i learned to control it a little, by the way, thanks to International Competitions, i teach this to my people too students, this is a huge school, because you need to be able to control emotions, but you need to give them a full outlet, i like to worry long before, you know, and i can be there in a day, two, maybe even a week, this feeling is already in me like something to digest, then it all sublimates into some other energy, and of course, before. Going on stage, i throw everything away, i just gather myself like a clot of energy and splash out everything that has already accumulated on stage, but little by little, but so that there are just cases when now, so that everything doesnt explode completely, there have been cases when you burn out, that is, there is so much excitement that when you already go on stage, well, you dont have enough of this energy, i turn on, i turn on when i see the audience, when i hear applause, and even there is Something Like this if suddenly i see that someone is already tired and he not entirely interested in looking at the next artist or continuing to listen, well, he lingered in the auditorium, i was like, wait, come here, well, yes, there is such a contact right away, if before, thats when i i was just starting my first steps on stage, i reassured myself that even if one spectator left after the concert to my big fans, i conveyed everything. There are the thoughts that i wanted, these songs, before him, then im great, now im not, i already feel like this, if everyone left, then im great, while we take a break for a while, i remind you that we have a telegram channel, say dont be silent, subscribe, ask questions and suggest guests, we are connected. The program say dont be silent is on air again, and today our guest is the honored artist of belarus irina darofeeva. Irina, you are perhaps the most touring artist in our country, lets take a look behind the scenes. Lets see how your, well, one of the recent tours went on the wings of a dream. The road together, the road with you, will seem to us half as long as you walk, next to me, im ready to walk even during the day and at night, a spring day, they left it in the shower. Trail and you will understand, there is no life without a road, but if a dream doesnt call you far away, then for you, you chose the wrong path, you chose the path, a very familiar melody, this is a hit by the group suzori, if im not mistaken. Yes, a wonderful song, a real hit, and for some reason, just in the spring, i wanted to sing this song, uh, the path , yes, the life of an artist, the path of an artist, so i first called alexander nisterovich, whom i know well and have once performed his beautiful song sooner or later, he introduced me to andrey fillatov, the author of the text, here i got in touch, i said, is it possible, irina, you can do anything , thats how this song was born again already in my reading, well, for me its of course like a new song, that is, i can say, that this is my updated repertoire, and the fact that someone remembers a song, lets say already performed by the suzuri group, is happiness, because for them its like a balm for the soul, and the new generation perceives it as a new hit, because on the other hand. We introduce the new generation to those good songs, why would be their examples, and belarusian classical music, but looking at this video you notice familiar faces in the hall, yes , that is, there was your meeting with the leader nikolaevna bordunova, this was a fragment from the city of mogilev, i took my first steps in vocal and instrumental ensemble raduga, well, naturally she sang in the choir in the ensemble, neli bordunova is like my second mother, i. Just looked into her mouth , directly parodied her, filmed her facial expressions, articulation, being a girl, she believed in me , she immediately said, this is the future artist, of course, now im returning, returning to mogilev, many, many children, the school there has already grown so much with about 100 people, and choreography, and vocals, all this is included in a big production, when all these children, we love you, well, there is who to take as an example of what to strive for, that is, here is a clear example of what i am doing here in a small studio, and one day, just like you , children will make a wish to perform on the stage of a slavic bazaar, but the tour irina, how many cities . Well, we watched this tour, it was big the cities of our belarus, all Regional Centers, i can say that of course, i would like to hold such a concert. In all regions of belarus, in small places, but it all depends on the stage, it all depends on the material base, which allows it, because we actually transported there a truck of additional light, and a minibus with additional equipment, it is clear that the large bus is carrying the entire cast of participating artists , because there were only eight people in the ballet, backing vocals and the whole thing went and the stylist went with me, usually i. Im quickly moralizing myself, i already understand that the concert must be of the highest possible level for people to see the show, but we must keep up with the times, well, in order to bring such a concert to the region, even to a small Regional Center , of course, well, it simply wont pay for itself, there are big expenses, today we named at least three of irina darofeevas favorite cities, these are minsk and mogilev, and vitebsk, so which city is your favorite . Irina . Thi
