Valentina Ignatieva, possessing excellent vocal abilities, began to sing in the orchestra of the famous L. Utesov. Then she happened to work in other musical groups. But over time, Ignatieva preferred a career as a singer on the stage of the theater. Valentina Vasilievna also has work in the film industry. For many years, the actress gives her life experience and skills to students: she is also a high-class teacher.
From the biography of Valentina Ignatieva
The future actress and teacher was born in Kalinin (now the city of Tver) on January 15, 1949.
From an early age, parents instilled in Vale a love of theater and music. At the age of five, the girl already mastered playing the violin at a local music school. Having matured, she played on the stage of one of the children's theaters in her native Kalinin. This predetermined the choice of life path: at the end of schooling, Valentina without hesitation filed an application and documents to the metropolitan “Pike”, directly to the course of Yu. Katina-Yartsev. But the first attempt to break into the world of theatrical art ended in failure for the girl.
Education and career
The second attempt took place a year later. As a result, Valentina Vasilievna received her professional education in the pop art workshop (she graduated in 1970). By profession, Ignatiev is an artist of colloquial and vocal genres. The leader of Ignatieva was L. Maslyukov. Already in the 80s, Valentina studied at GITIS, mastering the specialty of the director of festivals and theatrical performances.
At the very beginning of the 70s, Ignatieva performed as part of a pop orchestra, led by Utesov. It is interesting that the master himself noticed a talented performer and asked the university commission to be assigned to his team. Then Ignatieva worked with the ensembles "Three times three", "Lada", "The Solar Crown", "Funny Guys". Valentina had the chance to be a soloist of the Moskontsert.
Ignatieva combined her soloist career with work in the theaters "Modern", "At the Nikitsky Gate", the Moscow Entreprise Theater.
In cinema, Ignatyeva's debut was the role in the 1978 film "Velvet Season", where she perfectly played Liz Bradvery. Among other works in the cinema should be called the paintings "Imaginary Sick", "Cherkizon", "The Head of the Classic". Valentina Vasilyevna performed several parts of a vocal character in animated films and in films.
Valentina Vasilievna has a solid experience in teaching in the theater. For more than a decade and a half, Ignatyev has been teaching directing at the Metropolitan Institute of Culture, as well as at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Theatrical and pedagogical experience helped her in working on a book where she tells the story of her career.
