Information:
Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin (1873–1938) was an outstanding Russian bass singer who first performed at Savva Mamontov’s private Moscow opera house and later at the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres. He was unsurpassed in the leading roles of the Russian classical operas “Boris Godunov,” “The Mermaid,” “Pskovitianka” (“The Girl from Pskov”), and “A Life for the Tsar.” His interpretations of folk songs and romances greatly impressed his contemporaries.
