Venera Gimadieva & Pavel Nebolsin
  • Edinburgh International Festival

Songs and piano music by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glire, Vlasov and Vasilenko.

One of the most exciting new voices in Russia, young lyric soprano Venera Gimadieva has bewitched audiences at Moscows Bolshoi Theatre, Londons Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and throughout the world with her compelling musical personality and her astonishingly expressive vocal artistry.

Gimadieva is a huge presence in the international opera and song world. She makes her International Festival debut alongside compatriot Pavel Nebolsin, presenting a dazzling recital of songs from her homeland " from the irresistibly melodious Serenade and Lullaby by Tchaikovsky and the vivid vocal storytelling of Rachmaninovs Pied Piper, through to the seductive exoticism of Rimsky-Korsakovs alluring Enslaved by the Rose.

This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
