She performed on stage with the Russians: a scandal exploded in Lviv through the performer of the role of Carmen

Valentina Pluzhnikova stated that her joint speech with Russian actors on stage was held as part of his studies. However, the leadership of the Lviv Opera still decided not to trust the 27-year-old artist. The Lviv Opera deprived the famous vocalist Valentina Pluzhnikov's lead role in the opera "Carmen" after it turned out that she took on stage with Russian artists. The information about this appeared on the official page of the theater on Facebook on February 9.

However, as of February 13, it has already become inaccessible to social network users. According to Channel 24, which quoted the publication at the time when it was accessible, it referred to: "The decision was made to cancel Valentina Pluzhnikova in the opera" Carmen "17. 02. We urge Ukrainian artists not to participate in joint Russian artists projects because it works against Ukraine.

" It was stated that Pluzhnikov while in Italy in a two -year course for opera performers at Academia Teatro Alla Scala performed on one stage with the Russians. In addition, in the spring of 2023 she played in the play "Luchia Di Lammemur", in which Russian singer Boris Pinhasovich participated. A little later, on February 12, the Lviv Opera published a new, extended post, which explained in more detail the situation with Valentina Pluzhnikova.

It stated that after the first post on social networks about the participation of the artist in the opera "Carmen", within the first 40 min, the opera began to receive negative feedback from representatives of the press and the public, accusations of cooperation with an artist that went out on Scene with Russian singers.

"Having experience in how quickly the media pick up any negative and how they use it in their own, unfortunately, not always noble purposes, distorting the context, the theater team was forced to respond lightly. That is why Valentina Pluzhnikova's speech was made. Theater performance and instant communication about it on social networks-to avoid any speculation on information and negative publicity in society, "-the message reads.

Representatives of the Lviv Opera also added that there would also be a huge risk that the public would have disrupted Valentine's speech if he still happened. In parallel with how the team was preparing the first statement, the music leadership of the theater tried to get in touch with the singer to speak and remedy the situation in person, but it was not possible to contact her at that time.

However, in the afternoon, on February 9, the Opera Virgo expressed her point of view on the incident, posting a post on her Facebook page. She noted that she is the first Ukrainian in the history of the Metropolitan Opera, which was trained in this theater. "I studied my whole creative path and received international opera education in order to get recognition in my homeland in Ukraine, and all my life I had a mission to represent my state abroad, on the opera scenes of the world.

I have never been in life in Russia, I am Ukrainian -speaking, I did not sing Russian operas abroad, I do not perform Russian music, my position is clear and I openly expressed it and expressed it on the second day of a full -scale invasion, when, contrary to the rules and prohibitions, La Skala was wrapped in the Ukrainian Flag. , - Pluzhnikova said.

According to her, the speeches that were the reason for refusing to cooperate with the Lviv opera were in the framework of studying in the youth program, and Pluzhnikov did not sign a contract on them as an independent artist. "A photograph where I do with other artists was taken on stage in the framework of Danceville's role in Adrian Lecuvrers at the Salzburg Festival (the most prestigious opera festival of the world, where I dreamed of getting every singer) young singers.

It was a semi -concert production, "the opera artist explained. Pluzhnikova also added that the Lviv opera "poured it with dirt". It should be noted that in a few days, February 12, Valentina Pluzhnikov posted a new post on her page on the social network, in which she thanked the fans who supported her. "I thank everyone and everyone who was not indifferent and did not scroll through the news tape further, everyone who did not pass. I supported me.

In these 3 days I received the ocean of love and a sea of ​​warm words, boundless support and inexhaustible energy to go on, create for you all, "she wrote.
