Colleagues on stage said that his last name became a “sign of fate” for him. In fact, this man was so talented that it seemed to be what led him on his life path. Having abandoned the scientific career that was predicted for him at the institute, he devoted himself entirely to what his heart yearned for from an early age – singing. And he became a world-famous opera singer and the first Ukrainian to be invited to the Metropolitan Opera.

Today, on the occasion of the 93rd anniversary of his birth, we are talking about the legendary tenor Anatoly Solovyanenko in our column “Know Yours, Yours and Ours”.
