British Queen's favorite performer Alessandro Safina will return to "Slavianski Bazaar" in 2013

July 15, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. The British Queen's favorite performer, one of the most handsome men on the planet (according to People magazine), world-renowned tenor Alessandro Safina will return to the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk International Arts Festival next year. He announced this at the "Star Hour" - a press conference with celebrities, which traditionally takes place at the festival, answering a question from a BELTA correspondent. The Italian tenor accepted the festival organizers' invitation to come with a concert next year. In addition, at the beginning of December this year, his performance in Minsk with the National Concert Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus under the direction of Mikhail Finberg is planned. Alessandro Safina took part in the festival's grand opening concert and performed his perhaps most famous composition in the post-Soviet space - Luna from the TV series "The Clone," in which he played the leading role. This was his premiere in Belarus. Currently, he is working as a member of the jury of the Vitebsk-2012 international pop song performers competition. The singer admitted to journalists that he doesn't have much free time at the festival, so he hasn't had a chance to get to know the city well. However, what he has managed to see has made a pleasant impression. "I feel comfortable at the festival," he said. Answering a question about his favorites among the contestants, he did not hide that there are not many of them, but emphasized that the level of performance skill of all participants is very high. Alessandro Safina began as a classical musician. He performed leading roles in the operas "La Bohème," "The Barber of Seville," "Rusalka," and "Eugene Onegin." Currently, he calls his style "opera rock": academic vocals are combined with elements of pop music and soul. -0-
