Solomiya Krushelnytska September 23 [11], 1872 — November 16, 1952) was a Ukrainian soprano, considered to be one of the brightest opera stars of the first half of the 20th century. During her life, Solomiya Krushelnytska was recognized as the most outstanding singer in the world. Among her numerous awards and distinctions, in particular, the title of "Wagner's diva" of the XX century. Singing with her on the same stage was considered an honor for Enrico Caruso, Titta Ruffo, Fedor Chaliapin. Italian composer Giacomo Puccini presented the singer with his portrait with the inscription "The most beautiful and charming Butterfly". She studied at the Ternopil school of Music. She received the basics of musical training at the Ternopil Classical Gymnasium, where she took external exams. Here she became close to the music group of high school students, a member of which was also Denis Sichinsky - later a famous composer, the first professional musician in Galicia. In 1883, at the Shevchenko Concert in Ternopil, Solomiya, who sang in the choir of the Ukrainska Besida society, made her first public performance. In 1891 Solomiya entered the Lviv Conservatory of the Galician Music Society. The leadership of the conservatory praised the abilities of the young singer. At the conservatory, her teacher was the then famous professor in Lviv, Valery Vysotsky, who raised a whole galaxy of famous Ukrainian and Polish singers. During her studies at the conservatory, her first solo performance took place on April 13, 1892, the singer performed the main part in GF Handel's oratorio "Messiah". On June 5, 1892, another performance of the singer took place in the Lviv Boyana, where she performed Mykola Lysenko's song "Why do I have black eyebrows". Solomiya Krushelnytska's first opera debut took place on April 15, 1893: she performed the part of Leonora in the opera "Favorite" by the Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti on the stage of the Lviv City Theater Skarbka. Then her partners were the famous Rudolf Bernhardt and Julian Jerome. Her performances in the role of Sanctuary in P. Mascagni's "Village Honor" were also very successful. In 1893 Krushelnytska graduated from the Lviv Conservatory. Solomiya Krushelnytska followed her 1893 professional debut with additional performances at the Lviv Opera. On the advice of Gemma Bellincioni, who witnessed Solomiya's talents in Lviv that summer, the young Krushelnytksa would travel to Italy in the fall of 1893 to pursue further vocal studies. After her father took out a loan for her travels, Solomiya arrived in Milan where she would study under Fausta Crespi,  while living with Bellincioni's mother. It was under Crespi's tutelage that Solomiya transitioned from her previous training as a mezzo-soprano to a lyric-dramatic soprano. For the following 3 years, she would divide her time between Milan and Lviv, returning regularly for engagements with the Lviv Opera in order to pay for her ongoing studies in Italy. Solomiya would go on to perform in Odessa (1896–1897), Warsaw (1898–1902),  St Petersburg (1901–1902), the Paris Grand Opera (1902), Naples (1903–4), Cairo and Alexandria (1904), and Rome (1904–5).  In 1904, she famously became a savior of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. The opera had been booed by the audience at its premiere in Milan's La Scala, but three months later in Brescia, a revised version of the work, with Krushelnytska singing the leading role, was a major success. Her repertoire totaled 63 parts. In the history of music, Krushelnytska is known as an active promoter of the works of her contemporaries, and of Richard Wagner. In 1902 she starred in a successful production of Lohengrin in Paris. In 1906 she appeared to acclaim at Milan's La Scala in Richard Strauss's Salome, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. She also performed in other theatres across Europe, Egypt, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and others. Solomiya Krushelnytska died on November 16, 1952, and was subsequently buried at Lviv's Lychakiv Cemetery

Let the birthday shopping commence!

So far we have: a cezve, a Kamasutra chocolate set, a handmade chocolate candy set named after Solomiya Krushelnytska, which does sound delicious, but actually was chosen because it reminds me of my hometown and is named Salome.

Lviv Opera Theatre, Lviv, Ukraine Lviv State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Solomiya Krushelnytska (until 1939 it was called Grand Theatre) was built from 1887 to1900, according to the project of famous Polish architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski. According to his audacious project the building was built on the Poltva River. For this purpose, the river was taken under a collector, and as its foundation for the first time in #Europe concrete blocks were used. It’s quite interesting that the townsmen until today remember that the building stands on the river. There are even legends, stating that after a year from the completion of the Opera building, the architect committed suicide, because the ground waters flooded the foundation and the building was cracked. Despite the fact that all these fears are groundless, and Gorgolewski died by natural death, under the Soviet rule during the marches and parades the movement of heavy #military machines by the theater square was forbidden. The theatre was officially opened on the October 4, 1900. The construction of the theatre cost about two and a half million #Austrian crowns. On the official opening of the #Opera house were present such famous personalities as writer Henryk Sienkiewicz and composer Ignacy Paderewski. The architecture of the theater combines elements of the Renaissance and Baroque styles. The building is richly decorated, both inside and outside. Facade is decorated with columns, niches and balustrades. Above the main cornice of the facade eight statues of the Muses can be seen. Above these statues the sculptural composition "The joys and miseries of life" is placed. The facade ends with a massive bronze statue of “Fame” with Palme d'Or in her hands. The statue was created by famous sculptor Piotr Wojtowicz. On the left and right sides of “Fame” bronze statues “Comedy and Drama” and “Music” are situated. Another element on the facade, deserving attention, is the big head of a lion, which is considered as the main symbol of the city.  #Lviv #Opera #Theatre #Lviv #Ukraine (at Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvG7ewPnotd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r5q5kbcc6ubm
