This time Sergei Yakovenko remembers the wonderful baritones who served at the Bolshoi Theater: Sergei Migai, Yuri Mazurka, Dmitry Golovin and Panteleimon Nortsov...

Sergei Ivanovich Migay (1888-1959) born into a priest's family. From the age of six he sang in the church choir, then in the choir of the Mogilev gymnasium (sometimes solo parts), and was fond of playing the flute. In 1907-09 he studied at the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University, and at the same time studied vocals at the St. Petersburg Conservatory (class of S. Gabel). For participation in student unrest he was expelled from the university. He first performed on the concert stage on December 4, 1909, performing an aria of Prince Igor. In 1911, on the recommendation of A. Nezhdanova, he was accepted into the Bolshoi Theater (he made his debut in the role of Valentin - “Faust” in April 1912), on the stage of which he performed until 1924. From February 1912, he studied singing (over 100 lessons) with M, who was then touring in Moscow . Battistini, under whose leadership he prepared the roles of Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni), Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) and Germont. From 1916 he improved his stage art with K. Stanislavsky, and prepared under his leadership the roles of Onegin and Gryaznoy (1917), Rigoletto (1919-20). In 1921 he performed for the first time with great success in Petrograd. In 1924-26 and 1929-41 he was a soloist of the Leningrad State Theater Opera Theater (he made his debut as Don Juan - “Don Juan”). In 1926-27 he performed at the Moscow Opera Studio - Theater named after. K. S. Stanislavsky. Thanks to his virtuoso technical skill, he performed with equal success in lyrical and dramatic roles.

Sergey Yakovenko:“Well, what can we say about this singer? Enchanting timbre, widest range, smooth, flexible, over two octaves, excellent thinning, mezzo voice; his repertoire included 65 parts. In 1912, Migay performed as a soloist in Rachmaninov’s cantata “Spring”, and in 1913 in “Bells” under the direction of Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov himself. Migai had more than 500 works in his chamber repertoire. In 1941, he had a concert for the 100th anniversary of Lermontov’s death. Once he gave an “Evening of Italian arias and Neapolitan serenades.” Sang Schubert with Igumnov. In 1937, he gave a Pushkin concert, where they performed from Verstovsky, Titov, Kavos to Sviridov. He was also the first performer of such Sviridov romances as “The forest is dropping its crimson headdress...”, “Approaching Izhora...”.

Yuri Antonovich Mazurok (1931-2006). He spent his childhood in Ukraine, and after graduating from school he entered the Lviv Polytechnic Institute, where he became interested in student musical theater. In 1960 he entered the Moscow Conservatory. Winner of international competitions in Prague (“Prague Spring”, 1960), Bucharest (1961) and Montreal (1967), II All-Union Competition named after M. I. Glinka (1962). He had a soft, beautiful voice and lively temperament, although he was sometimes criticized for his lack of acting expression. Among his roles are Evgeny Onegin (“Eugene Onegin”), Prince Yeletsky (“Queen of Spades”), Vedenetsky Guest (“Sadko”), Andrei Bolkonsky (“War and Peace”), Tsarev (“Semyon Kotko”), Figaro ( "The Barber of Seville") and many others. In 1975 he made his debut at the Covent Garden Theater, three years later - at the Metropolitan Opera as Germont (La Traviata). Mazurok often sang at the Vienna State Opera, in particular, he performed the role of Escamillo in the production of the opera Carmen on this stage in 1979 under the direction of Franco Zeffirelli. He was also known as a wonderful performer of Russian romances.

Sergey Yakovenko:“Yuri Mazurok was born in 1931, and until ’59 he was a student of Sergei Migai, and learned a lot from him. Since 1963, he was a trainee and then a soloist at the Bolshoi Theater. And so I always remembered, when I listened to him, that “what a person is, so is his music.” He was an amazingly calm person, and he had remarkably smooth, flawless vocals that reflected the calm confidence of his nature."

Dmitry Danilovich Golovin (1894-1966). In his youth he sang in church choirs. In 1915 he performed at the E. Volskaya Operetta Theater in Sevastopol (under the pseudonym Sokolsky). In 1919 he performed the role of the Demon at the Stavropol Opera House, which became one of the best in the singer’s repertoire. In 1921-24 he studied at the Moscow Conservatory in the singing class of N. G. Raisky. In 1923 he was a soloist of the Free Opera of S.I. Zimin, in 1924-43 - of the Bolshoi Theater. In 1928 he improved his skills in Italy; sang in theaters in Monte Carlo, Milan and Paris (1928-29). He had a voice of extraordinary power, fullness and richness. Performed various roles: Boris Godunov, Mazepa, Prince Igor; Shaklovity (“Khovanshchina”), Figaro, Escamillo, Rigoletto, Iago; Valentine (Faust), Amonasro (Aida). First performer of the roles of Sandi (Trilby by Yurasovsky, 1924) and Nagulnov (Virgin Soil Upturned by Dzerzhinsky, 1937). He performed as a concert singer.

Sergey Yakovenko:“...All critics noted that this is a voice of extraordinary power and fullness, incredible richness of sound. Both here and in Italy they wrote that it was a “voice colossus.” His range was very wide: for example, he sang Boris Godunov and Figaro in The Barber of Seville, sang Prince Igor and lyrical parts; but mostly lyrical and dramatic: Iago, Rigoletto, Valentina, Mazepa...”

Panteleimon Markovich Nortsov (1900-1993). In 1925 he graduated from the Kyiv Conservatory. In the same year he was accepted into the Bolshoi Theater. In 1926-27 he sang at the opera houses of Kyiv and Kharkov; in 1927-54 soloist of the Bolshoi Theater. He improved his vocal and stage skills at the Bolshoi Theater Opera Studio under the direction of K. S. Stanislavsky. Among the parties: Onegin, Yeletsky, Mazepa; Robert (“Iolanta”), The Most Serene (“Cherevichki” by Tchaikovsky; USSR State Prize, 1942), Mizgir, Vedenetsky Guest, Germont; di Luna (Il Trovatore), Figaro; Nevers (The Huguenots), Don Juan, Escamillo; Silvio (“Pagliacci”), Arkady (“The Stupid Artist” by Shishov). He performed as a concert singer. Since 1951 he taught at the GMPI named after. Gnessins (RAM named after Gnessins). In 1962, associate professor at the Moscow Conservatory, then professor at the GMPI named after. Gnessins (until 1987).

Sergey Yakovenko:“The main achievement of Panteleimon Markovich Nortsov was the role of Eugene Onegin in the opera by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. At one time, “Nortsov – Onegin” figurines were even sold. This was the textbook Onegin. In total, Panteleimon Markovich Nortsov performed the role of Onegin over 600 times on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater - I think that this achievement is worthy of the Guinness Book of Records. It’s unlikely that any other singer in the same role was involved in more than 600 performances...”

At the time of the opening of the Bolshoi Theater, its staff consisted of only thirteen musicians and thirty artists. Each of which could be involved in opera and dramatic productions.

Every year, the increasing popularity of the theater required an expansion of the staff. So, by 1785 the troupe grew to 80 people, by 1990 the number of theater artists reached 900.

With the formation of a truly Russian theater repertoire, an urgent need arose to separate specializations. This is how opera and ballet troupes appeared.

Sergey Lemeshev
Nadezhda Obukhova
Elena Stepanova
Georgy Nelepp
Nikandr Khanaev
Bela Rudenko
and etc.

Others were awarded the Stalin and Lenin Prizes and earned the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. In the period after 1991, many artists became People's Artists of the Russian Federation.
