Evgenia Asanova
Mezzo-soprano from Russia - 26 years old
I was born in Tashkent and grew up in Ryazan. I studied piano at the Pirogov Ryazan Musical College, moving on to vocal studies, and graduated with a diploma in vocal performance. In 2012-13 I worked in the Yurlov State Academic Choir Capella and in 2014 I appeared with the Rostov State Musical Theatre as Olga (Eugene Onegin) and Laura (Iolanta). Then, I joined the Young Artist Programme of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and in 2016 I made my debut with the Bolshoi as Fyodor (Boris Godunov). In 2016 I went to the Accademia Lirica di Osimo, Italy.
In 2017 I performed the role of Garcias (Massenet’s Don Quichotte), conducted by Tugan Sokhiev, at the Vienna Musikverein and the Capitole de Toulouse. Also in 2017 I took part in the Bolshoi’s tour to the Aix-en-Provence and the Savonlinna festivals, performing Olga (Eugene Onegin). In 2018 I gained 1st prize at the Georg Ots International Festival Competition in St Petersburg and was nominated for the prize of the Chigi Academy of Music in Siena. In the 2019/2020 season I was a guest soloist at the Hanover State Opera in Germany singing Hänsel (Hänsel und Gretel), Bradamante (Alcina), and the title role in Carmen. In 2021/22 I join the State Opera of Bern in Switzerland as soloist.
I love theatre and dancing. I also love motorbikes but don't have one at the moment.
