My Magister Degree project and is based on a desire of achieving a deep understanding, and consequently gaining an artistic freedom in my portraying, of an operatic role that seems "made for me", and yet feels unavailable due to the nature of the Russian culture and language. Tatiana, in the opera “Eugene Onegin” by Piotr Tchaikovsky, is a great role for a young soprano voice, that is becoming full lyric. These were barriers that I decided to turn into knowledge and tools, to gain freedom and an ability to decide for myself how I wanted to portray Tatiana.
