EXHIBITION FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF ZOYA VINOGRADOVA

The exhibition was opened by the director of the theater library Anastasia Gai, general director of the theater of musical comedy Yuri Shvartskopf, people's artist of Russia Nikolai Burov and deputy chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Union of theater workers of Russia Larisa Novikova.

On the eve of the anniversary of the People's Artist of Russia Zoya Vinogradova, the St. Petersburg State Theater Library and the St. Petersburg State Theater of Musical Comedy present the exhibition "A Story Like a Fairy Tale ...", reflecting the diverse creative life of the favorite of theatrical Petersburg.

On November 27, the legend of the Leningrad operetta Zoya Vinogradova will celebrate her jubilee birthday. A unique actress, a soloist of the theater, to whom she devoted more than seventy years, Zoya Akimovna Vinogradova is still the decoration of the troupe of the St. Petersburg Musical Comedy. Her talent has been recognized by numerous awards, from the Highest Russian National Prize "Golden Mask" to the Audience Award of the St. Petersburg Society of Theater Amateurs "Teatral".

Coming to the theater as a young "star" from the factory's amateur performances, Zoya Vinogradova very quickly moved from a "promising youth" to the ranks of the leading soloists of the Musical Comedy Theater, having brilliantly played more than a hundred roles during the years of service, both in classical operetta and in the works of Soviet authors, including the first Russian musicals.

The visitors are presented with photographs of the heroine in her "star" roles, as well as unique materials from the collections of the Musical Comedy Theater and the artist's personal collection. Many of them will be exhibited for the first time.

The exhibition is open until 22 December 2020 in the library at the address: st. Architect Rossi, 2 (entrance from Ostrovsky square).

Free admission.
