Ballet is music and dance, painting and drama. Actors do not just dance on stage, they tell the audience a certain story from life. Or from a fairy tale. To understand the figurative language of ballet, the viewer needs to know certain symbols and signs. Listen to the melody and watch the actions of the performers. The ballet school in Russia took shape over many decades. Svetlana Zakharova is our contemporary. As they say nowadays - a star. She honorably carries the baton passed on to her by the actors of past generations.
Steps to Success
Performing on stage requires appropriate abilities and volitional qualities from any person. Ballet as an independent art form appeared on the European stage in the 15th century. This genre appeared on the Russian stage later. Svetlana Zakharova studied the full course of the history of ballet in St. Petersburg. At the age of fifteen, she became a student of the Ballet Academy, which operates in the city on the Neva. The young actress was invited to receive an education at a prestigious educational institution after a successful performance at an international competition.
The biography of the outstanding Russian ballerina developed calmly and purposefully. Svetlana was born on June 10, 1979. The family of the serviceman Yuri Zakharov lived at that time in the city of Lutsk. The child's mother, Galina Danilovna, is a professional choreographer, taught at the children's dance studio. It was she who discerned the corresponding abilities in the child and introduced him to the art of dance. The shrewd teacher had to act consistently and gradually in order to instill in Svetlana a love of art.
To achieve decent results on stage, a novice dancer had to practice a lot and purposefully. Hard work has paid off. When Svetlana was ten years old, she was admitted to the choreographic school, which was located in Kiev. Six years within the walls of the school flew by like one day. High-quality training allowed Zakharova to take part in the traditional qualifying competition, which was mentioned above. A year later, the promising actress was accepted into the troupe of the Mariinsky Theater.
Debut and recognition
Under the direction of the artistic director of the Mariinsky, the young actress Zakharova becomes the prima of the theater a year later. She knows very well how dancers live on stage and beyond. She is only 18 years old. Svetlana is trusted with the most difficult parts in classical productions. In 2003 she was invited to continue her career at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater. This is already a significant peak, but success is not a reason to rest on our laurels. Five years later, she was offered an engagement with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Here Svetlana Zakharova was the first of the Russian ballerinas to receive the status of etoile.
They write about the brilliant ballerina in newspapers, make films, invite to TV. In parallel with these events, Svetlana's personal life is taking shape. Artistic fate brought her together with a venerable violinist named Vadim Repin. The relationship did not develop immediately. Only after the second meeting, which took place a year later, did the young people feel mutual attraction. The husband and wife are raising a daughter.
