Irina Allegrova is a famous singer who is often called the "empress" of the Russian stage. Her biography is full of creative victories, and the whole country is still singing songs with pleasure.
Biography
Irina Allegrova was born in 1952 in Rostov-on-Don and is of Russian-Armenian origin. The mother of the future singer Serafima Sosnovskaya was famous for her beautiful operatic voice, and her father Alexander Allegrov was a famous theater actor and director. Over time, the creative family moved to Baku, where Irina studied at a music and ballet school. She often became a participant in city art competitions and festivals, winning prizes. And thanks to the acquaintances of her parents, the future "empress" took lessons in vocal skills from Muslim Magomayev himself.
In 1969, not in a hurry to get a higher education, Irina Allegrova began performing in various groups, participating in tours around the country. In 1975, she took a ride to enter the capital at GITIS, but she was denied admission. Then Irina continued to perform with concerts, until in the early 80s she met the composer Igor Krutoy. He, in turn, introduced her to musicians Vladimir Dubovitsky and Oscar Feltsman.
Feltsman highly appreciated the abilities of the young singer and wrote her the song "Voice of a Child", which glorified Allegrova throughout the country. After that Irina entered the Moscow Lights ensemble. She also took part in the tour of the "Electroclub" rock group. The team gave many performances, which is why one day Irina severely torn her vocal cords. The defect in the form of a hoarse voice was incorrigible, but the singer decided to make it her highlight and began a solo career.
In 1990, Irina Allegrova presented to the public the song "Wanderer", written for her by Igor Nikolaev. From that moment on, the singer's work "went" to the people, and everyone began to hum it. The compositions "Photography", "Hello, Andrey", "My betrothed", "Wedding flowers" and others, which came out later, are still well remembered and performed. A long concert tour under the general title "Empress" began. Subsequently, the nickname was firmly entrenched for the singer. In 2011, Allegrova announced her departure from the stage, but in 2015 she decided to return, presenting a new concert program "Reload".
Personal life
Irina Allegrova was married four times. The first spouse was basketball player Georgy Tairov. The couple lived together for only a year, but managed to have a child - daughter Lala. For a short time, the singer was also married to composer Vladimir Bleher, who later turned out to be tried for economic crimes.
The relationship with the guitarist Vladimir Dubovitsky, who performed with her in the Moscow Lights ensemble, turned out to be quite successful. They stayed together until 1990, when their life and creative paths diverged. The singer did not stay alone for long and started an affair with the dancer Igor Kapusta, having lived with him for six years. But the man committed treason, which is why this couple broke up. Currently, Irina Allegrova is quite happy with her only daughter, who gave her a grandson, Alexander.
