Antarov biography
Her students believe that the text of this book was dictated by none other than Leo Tolstoy.
It seems that the bark herself believed in it. However, everything is in order. When she was 11, her father died, a mother passed away another three years later, and the girl remained a round orphan. The bark at that time studied in the 6th grade of the gymnasium. I did not abandon my studies - I lived, earned with lessons. And then she took it and went to the monastery.
There she sang in the church choir to sing very much. Her voice stood out from the choir. The girl even had fans who came to specially listen to her. Perhaps she would become a nun. She prevented, or rather, she directed her meeting with John of Kronstadt. He said that fate was destined to work in the world. The girl listened to the priest. In St. Petersburg, she at the same time entered the historical and philological faculty of Bestuzhev courses and at the St.
Petersburg Conservatory without any connections and acquaintances. There, the lessons of singing were given to her by the famous singer and teacher Hippolytus Pryanishnikov. The girl earned studies to study with lessons, night shifts, caring for patients. She worked, for example, a teacher at the factory school of the Aleksandrovsky factory of the Nikolaev railway and from the received 75 rubles a month, 40 gave for the lessons of singing.
From fatigue, she often fell down, but did not give up. Having finished study, Antarov in the spring of the year, having passed a difficult listening, fell into the troupe of the Mariinsky Theater. She was taken the only one of the applicants for the place. Her contralto of the "cello" Temra conquered the commission. And a year later, the bark went to Moscow, to work in the Bolshoi Theater, “having changed places” with the singer, who, for family reasons, had to move to Petersburg.
In Bolshaya Antarova, over time, the entire responsible repertoire for countertois was entrusted. On this famous stage, she worked for almost 30 years. Antarova did not just listen, she conducted a stenographic recording of classes, and then on her basis released a book called “C. Conversations, all her life was a propagandist of his ideas and after many years, at the end of the 10ths, organized Stanislavsky’s office at the WTO.
It was acquaintance with his system, according to the cortex, that helped her create unforgettable images on the opera scene. Antarova was recognized as the best artistic and vocally attributor of this role. The performer itself at that time was only 25 years old. Every time I had to sing in the evening, I already felt all day and recognized myself to those who had to be portrayed.
In my imagination, in the movements I was no longer free: I was captured by that era, the person who looked at me from the clip of the opera. And I saw not a drawing of notes, not the words signed under them, but my subtext is my meaning of each word. A piece of genuine life looked at me from the pages of the clavier, and this life created my imagination, ”said Cora Evgenievna.
According to the memoirs of contemporaries, Antarova was talented in everything, even when she cooked lunch. And everything around her was beautiful. She herself was beautiful: no one saw her unclear, carelessly dressed. And the room in which she was located seemed beautiful, and all the things around her. People stretched to her, laid out their problems, sorrows to her.
And she never spoke about herself, did not boast of successes, did not boast of his acquaintances, although it was only one recalling her voice was preserved: this is the party of the nanny in the opera Eugene Onegin, recorded on the record. After that, Antarov was fired from the theater, sent from Moscow, deprived of the opportunity to do what she dedicated to her life.
It seemed that everything collapsed, but unexpectedly she was "lucky." Stalin was a great fan of the opera. At the Bolshoi Theater, he listened to the entire repertoire with the participation of Concordia Evgenievna. And when once again, having come to the theater, he did not find his beloved singer in the program, he asked what was with her and where she, did she get sick.
Needless to say, Antarov was hastily restored at work after that? However, the experienced made itself felt. The singer began an exacerbation of bronchial asthma, so that she did not stay long on the stage, finally leaving her in the early X. Then she worked as an assistant librarian, gave lessons and, carried away by the ideas of a theosophical society, created by a famous religious philosopher Elena Blavatskaya, wrote a book on esotericism.
She assured her friends that she wrote her under the dictation of a real author, through clamority. The main character of the novel “Two Life” is Lyovushka, a boy with a pure and very impressionable soul. Researchers of Antarova’s work and her students are sure that the image of the writer Leo Tolstoy is embodied in him. In the novel, Lyovushka describes his training in the ashrams of wisdom already in the above -ground existence.
There, teachers spent him according to all plans, all the internal ways of knowing spiritual creativity opened before him so that he could then tell people about them in artistic form. The key idea of the novel is not to wait for great feats, but to adequately live a regular “gray day”. Do not give in doubts.The more energetic you will drive the thoughts of despondency from yourself, the sooner and better you will educate yourself, and your inner self -discipline will become your habit, light and simple, ”wrote Antarova.
Or did the great writer really drive her with her hand? God news ... ... Concordia Antarova died on February 6 in Moscow. He was buried in the Novodevichy cemetery in Moscow. Ironically, her grave is located very close to the grave of another esoteric - Daniil Andreev.
