The bottomless depth and high flight of Russian music are perfectly expressed in the vocal art. It manifests the most sincere and strongest feelings, contrasts, the torments of hell, and the bubbling joy of life. Estonian composers who studied in the cradle of Russian music at the St. Petersburg Conservatory complemented this colorful palette with their vision of life, love, betrayal, and hope.
The program also features arias and duets of the most famous operas of Russian classics.
