Abstract
The article based of archival materials examines the stage activities of the talented singer Varvara Mikhailovna Zarudnaya (1857–1939), who vividly declared herself during her studies and after graduation from the St. Petersburg Conservatory in the class of the famous Italian singer Camillo Everardi (1825–1899). The author relies on Zarudnaya's diaries, preserved reviews of her concerts and opera performances in St. Petersburg, Tiflis, and other cities. The press reaction to them depicts the singer’s high level of skills, talent, her beautiful voice, stage manner of performance. The author presents Zarudnaya's repertoire made up by works of Russian composers, including Ippolitov‑Ivanov, and foreign ones. The work and life of Varvara Mikhailovna are yet to be studied, and the author hopes that the collected material will help to present the image of V. M. Zarudnaya, whose name is known, but whose life and work remain in the shadows. Bit by bit the collected facts and materials can help illuminate and fill in the gaps of the Russian performing art history, in which V. M. Zarudnaya with the voice admired by P. I. Tchaikovsky, should take an honourable place.
