Galina Vishnevskaya

Галина Вишневская was a Russian operatic soprano born in Leningrad in 1926 who trained at the Leningrad Conservatory and established her professional career as a principal singer at major Soviet theatres in the mid-20th century. Her repertoire encompassed both lyric and dramatic soprano roles alongside art song recitals with a strong emphasis on Russian composers, and she maintained an international performing and recording career while navigating periods of political tension that affected her engagements.
