Hvorostovsky received from Krutoy “the kiss of death. Hvorostovsky's friend: “Dima will be treated in London! And at this time

Recently, troubles and grief have literally been falling on Dmitry Hvorostovsky. At first, the whole world learned that the opera performer was struggling with a brain tumor. Then, at the end of last year, Hvorostovsky's first wife, Svetlana, died of sepsis. And now it turned out that the opera singer sent his assistant and friend Elena Nedosekina on her last journey.

ON THIS TOPIC

For many years, the woman served as director of Hvorostovsky and press secretary for Russia. H A few months ago, she was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer of the last stage.Despite the fact that Elena fought with all her might to the very end, they could not save the woman.

“Dima told me that she was gone ... They were sad. We were together at a funeral in Moscow,” Hvorostovsky’s friend, photographer Pavel Antonov, told reporters.

Note that the diseaseNedosekina was diagnosed after Dmitry himself became aware of a malignant brain tumor. "He and Elena fought in parallel. Of course, he tried to cure her, supported her as best he could, including financially. She was a very good woman, charming, with a wonderful sense of humor, "Antonov quotes.

Nedosekina and Hvorostovsky have known each other for over 25 years. They not only worked, but were friends until the last days, despite the fact that the singer lives with his family in London, and Elena lives in Moscow. "They met in the early 90s, when Dmitry had just left Krasnoyarsk, began to gain popularity, won competitions. We met with him and Elena every time Dima came to his hometown - we went to dinner at a restaurant, walked around the center . So it was after his recent concert with us, and after my anniversary one, "said the soloist of the Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet Theater Larisa Marzoeva. Until the last days, Nedosekina went about her business, trying to defeat the disease.

By the way, at the beginning of the year, the operatic baritone completed the last course of chemotherapy at the moment in one of the London clinics - the tumor was significantly reduced, the artist felt better.

Recall Hvorostovsky found out about the illness in June 2015 and canceled all performances, but at the end of September he returned to the audience and brilliantly performed his part in Il trovatore on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. During the performance and after each aria, the audience thanked the performer with applause and shouts of "Bravo!"

The tour of the famous singer in Siberia failed due to poor ticket sales

The tour of the famous singer in Siberia failed due to poor ticket sales

A few years ago, a playful theory about the “kiss of death” by Igor KRUTOY, put forward by music critic Nikolai FANDEEV, became widespread in near-musical circles. According to her, no matter how successful the artist was, as soon as he performed at least one song by Igor Yakovlevich, a sharp decline immediately began in his career. By a strange coincidence, at different times something similar really happened to many artists - from Irina ALLEGROVA, Laima Vaikule and Mikhail SHUFUTSKY to ALSU, Verka SERDYUCHKA and Disco Crash. Recently, the theory about the “kiss of death” was confirmed once again - the tour of the world-famous opera singer Dmitry Hvorostovsky, who last year recorded the album “Deja Vu” together with Igor Krutoy, failed miserably in Siberia.

- At the end of June Dmitry Hvorostovsky was supposed to perform in three Siberian cities - Barnaul, Tomsk and Omsk, - said Irina Lapteva, director of the Liga Art agency. - Organized this tour Evgeny Nepomniachtchi from Novosibirsk and Alexander Zhurilo from the Far East. Buying tickets is not very good, and I suggested to the organizers to reduce prices. In Barnaul, the average salary is eight thousand, and for the entrance to the concert they demanded from three to 11 thousand. I was told that it was impossible to bring down the price - then even the expenses would not be covered: Hvorostovsky's fee, hall rental, advertising, hotel, transport, etc. As a result, sales completely stagnated, and the concerts had to be cancelled. It was necessary to return the money to viewers who still bought tickets. But there was nothing to deal with them. According to the conditions that the organizers of the tour set for us, we removed the proceeds from the box office and sent them as an advance payment for Hvorostovsky. Only from us 990 thousand rubles were sent.

And in total, more than three million were transferred from three Siberian cities! Usually, when canceling concerts, artists return the received prepayment. In extreme cases, they leave themselves a penalty of 10 percent of the fee. But Alexander Zhurilo said that Dmitry allegedly took all the money and refused to even partially return it. When I turned to the representative of the artist in Moscow - Elena Nedosekina, she said that they did not receive money for a tour of Siberia from Zhurilo. I think this is a real scam. But law enforcement agencies did not find grounds for holding the tour organizers liable, citing the fact that they do not refuse to return the money to the audience. Yes, after a group of spectators applied to the UBEP of the Altai Territory, the investigator went to Novosibirsk to the second organizer of the tour, Evgeny Nepomnyashchiy, and he sent us 50 thousand rubles, promising to pay the rest of the money by September 1. Apparently, they hoped that they would make money on the Far Eastern concerts of Hvorostovsky, and at the expense of this they would cover the debts for the tour in Siberia. But, as Nepomniachtchi admitted to me, the concerts in the Far East went very badly. And the issue with the return of money has not yet been closed. - It would be better not to raise this topic and not inflate a scandal around it, - said Evgeny Nepomniachtchi. - This is a common situation - the concerts did not gather enough spectators to hold them, and were cancelled. The money received from ticket sales went to advance payments to Hvorostovsky. The information that he did not receive this money is not true. Hvorostovsky's representative in Russia, Elena Nedosekina, with whom Lapteva spoke, simply had nothing to do with this tour. We negotiated directly with his English management from Askonas. Now this noisy story is coming to a happy ending. We are slowly looking for opportunities to return money to viewers from our own funds. No one hides from them and does not refuse debts. This is despite the fact that in this case we ourselves are the injured party.

BY THE WAY

In the video for the song "You and I" from the joint album of Dmitry Hvorostovsky and Igor Krutoy, the director Alan Badoev played with the theme of the “kiss of death”: the heroine of the video, the rose girl, at the moment of the kiss released spikes and killed her partners with them.

The opera singer said goodbye to a loved one. The permanent director of the artist Elena Nedosekina passed away. The woman bravely fought breast cancer, but she failed to defeat the disease.

Dmitri Hvorostovsky has faced many serious trials over the past year. It all started with the fact that a year ago the whole world learned about his struggle with a brain tumor, then a series of events followed that affected his emotional state.

Surrounded by a 53-year-old singer, another tragedy recently occurred. On December 31 last year, the artist's first wife, Svetlana, died of sepsis, and in early June, Dmitry saw off his assistant and girlfriend, Elena Nedosekina, on her last journey. For many years, the woman served as its director and press secretary for Russia. She could not overcome a serious illness: a few months ago she was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer of the last stage. Unfortunately, Elena could not be saved.

“Dima told me that she was gone ... They were sad,” Hvorostovsky’s friend, photographer Pavel Antonov, shared with StarHit. - Were together at the funeral in Moscow.

Elena's disease was diagnosed after it became known about a malignant brain tumor in Dmitry himself. At the beginning of the year, the operatic baritone completed the last chemotherapy course at the moment in one of the London clinics - the tumor was significantly reduced, the artist felt better.

“He and Elena fought in parallel,” Antonov continues. - Of course, he tried to cure her, supported her as best he could, including financially. She was a very good woman, charming, with a wonderful sense of humor.”

Nedosekina and Hvorostovsky have known each other for more than 25 years - they not only worked, but were friends until the last days, despite the fact that the singer lives with his family in London, and Elena lives in Moscow.

“They met in the early 90s, when Dmitry had just left Krasnoyarsk, began to gain popularity, won competitions,” Larisa Marzoeva, soloist of the Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet Theater, tells StarHit. - We met with him and Elena every time Dima came to his hometown - we went to dinner at a restaurant, walked around the center. So it was after his recent concert with us, and after my anniversary.

StarHit spoke with Nedosekina by phone at the end of May. “I feel very bad,” Elena complained then. But I'll try to help you with your question. Until the last days, she was engaged in business, trying to defeat the disease.
