In February, the singer will celebrate her fiftieth anniversary and will show the audience a new show. The artist will celebrate her birthday in the renovated house, which has been renovated for several years.
My first house was wooden, it burned down due to a mistake by the builders when laying the chimney, so we built a new one of bricks. Six years ago, I realized that it was already obsolete, and decided to start a major overhaul. Now all the work is done, stained glass windows were in place of small windows, inside the house – a complete redevelopment.
We have been living on this plot for about 25 years, and here we have a house “Boss”, a house “Geisha”, a house “Mother-in-law” and a house “Mother-in-law”! It so happened that my house “Geisha” is the largest. Before, after all, everyone lived in it. Why is that? I play music all the time, direct my concerts, and it is by nightfall that I get the chance to sing, play and dance, and for my family this is the end of the world. Here either the whole family should be so abnormal – artistic, or you need to live in different walls, as we did.
Our mothers, it seems to me, are happy, because we are close, at any time we can visit each other. Each mother has her own gazebo, swing, flower beds, but the garden and vegetable garden are common.
With the harvest in the garden, however, this year was not very lucky. The potatoes were born like peas, cucumbers and tomatoes were also not particularly pleasing. But with red hot pepper, on the contrary. He broke all yield records. I had to use everything grown for the production of dressing for the national Korean cabbage kimchi. It turned out to be a huge annual supply. Interruptions in my favorite dish in the near future will definitely not threaten my family. I just buy Chinese cabbage, add the dressing, and fresh aromatic kimchi is always on the table. It is impossible to live without your favorite spicy cabbage!
I have never played an instrument in my show, I am very worried before the first such performance. My viola is a girl. I named her Lisa, and she is 200 years old. We found her in Czechoslovakia. I carefully watch her so that the tree does not dry out, I control the humidity in the room, I constantly look after her.
Parting with old things is hard. Starting the renovation, I sat over each one and thought about where to put it, where to find a new place for it, but when the work was completed, I felt that these things simply could not remain, they are from a past life, and they also do not fit into the design of the house. … Fortunately, we have where to put them, I took some of them to the grandmothers, for example, clothes, toys, books that they gave to their grandson (Sergei is 28 years old. – Approx. “Antenna”), mummies were delighted and take care of them for great-grandchildren.
If you look closely, it seems that everything in my house seems to be floating above the ground. This is no accident, I realized for myself that only in an uncluttered clean space can you create and start every time as if from a blank sheet, therefore, thinking over the interior, I chose the eco-tech style, which I love very much.
I really wanted all my guests to come into the house and immediately get a breath of inspiration. At the same time, the entrance area should have kept lightness. Therefore, I chose a chandelier that was individually designed by craftsmen in China. I waited for her for a very long time, there was a complex production and a difficult delivery.
Finally, when the chandelier arrived at the house, I opened the package and was very upset. The color was mixed up at the factory. And instead of the matte bronze color, which is the rest of the design of the hallway, I saw a chandelier in a glossy light gold version. In production, they were very upset that they mixed up the color. As always, Max Galkin supported him with subtle humor in the comments under the post. He wrote: “Anita! Of course, not all subscribers will be imbued with grief that bronze was needed, but gold came. But don’t cry – hang up the gold, and repaint what doesn’t suit it. ” And I took his advice! Of course, she didn’t repaint anything in the interior, but she hung a chandelier in gold.
I really wanted to celebrate the New Year – 2020 already in the completed renovation, because I have been waiting for this day for 5 and a half years. A few months later, the factory sent me a chandelier in the right color for free. But during this time we have already got used to the golden version, the birds seem to be flying into the bright sun under the ceiling. And I have a backup copy of a bronze chandelier in my storerooms. I am trying to attach it to someone whose ceiling height will allow to hang such beauty in the house.
With the designer Natalia Solo – she made an office and an apartment for my son for me – I met a few years ago. Natasha knows my taste, addictions, and in the house she did a great job. Together we formed a team and fought a little with my husband. According to the horoscope, Sergei Petrovich is Taurus, a conservative man, he needs the furniture to stand specifically, not on some thin legs, but on confident legs.
I remember how he came to look at the renovation, when there was no kitchen yet, and we were just beginning to install a wooden ceiling made of chopped oak there. The husband saw this and said: “Why are you laying parquet? Also unprocessed. It’s a nightmare! ” I explain to him that this is not parquet, but our ceiling … “Take it off urgently! You should have consulted with me, I categorically protest, I will not step into this house, ”Sergei Petrovich grumbled. But when everything was ready and he saw the embodiment of our idea, he said that he really liked it!
I am a man of the elements, I love fire, wind, water. Therefore, on the third floor, a swinging balcony to let air into the house, a fireplace in the living room, and a rain shower in the bathroom. It seems to me that wherever there is a creative story, there should be elements.
I like natural colors, natural materials, greenery, it is no coincidence that the house has a winter garden. At the same time, I am for technical excellence. If my husband has a gym, then I have a spa area equipped with the latest. Flying during the tour is fraught with edema. Sometimes you bring with you from the tour from two to five kilograms of liquid, you don’t even go into your costumes!
My spa has an infrared sauna, which completely removes excess water from the body at 45 degrees. You sit in it for 20 minutes and quickly come back to normal. There is also a built-in system for complete disinfection. It is necessary, because when we fly around the cities with concerts, we sometimes get into the flu season or follow it all over the country, that is, we can return home with viruses and microbes.
My walls heal me. It seems to me that if a person suddenly enters the house with bad thoughts and intentions, then the energy that reigns inside will simply dissolve all the negativity.
Never before have I spent as much time at home as last year. My husband and I were in self-isolation, and at some point we began to walk by the hand, I don’t remember when this was the last time! Before the pandemic, they met in the morning and in the evening. After work, we had supper, watched a movie …, and ran away during the day. It’s different now. At first I felt so strange when everything around stopped. Am I retired? It seems a bit early! I imagined myself in the role of a wife who sits at home all the time, I realized that this was horror and an extremely difficult story for me.
When you write music for a long time, you definitely need to get up and walk 10 thousand steps, because all the work is sedentary. In cold weather, a treadmill helps out in this regard. I don’t like to study in the gym, it’s boring. Most of all I like to go hiking, look at the beautiful nature, overcome natural obstacles.
Even before the pandemic, she started planning her anniversary show. (On February 7, the singer will turn 50. – Approx. “Antenna”), to pick up building materials, accessories for suits abroad … And suddenly everything was closed, nothing could be delivered. The team and I thought for a long time whether to do a show or not, and I realized that you can’t stand still, the artist is bent from this. Yes, concerts are prohibited, but in the end we can get ready! My anniversary is really serious, half a century is turning! I, of course, do not feel myself at all at this age, but at the same time I realize that now a turning point is taking place in life, when you are already wise, trained in battles, but your creative idea is still boiling, seething, you have strength, and most importantly – you have something to surprise!
I feel very well the spirit of the times. If you look at all my ten shows, which are directed by me, then you can immediately understand what the whole world lived then, what was good, what we lived and breathed? For example, in 2011, in the production of “Your_A”, social networks went into the trend, and I reflected this in my show. She told the story of the heroine, who left unhappy love in the network, put on someone else’s avatar, invented a new life story for herself and decided never to let love into her heart again …
The piano is a gift from the husband on the 30th wedding anniversary. The tool is quite expensive, I would not have pulled it to myself. And why, when there is a husband? He grumbled at first, but secretly ordered it. A transparent acrylic grand piano with a noble sound was brought from Japan in the summer. How my husband managed it during a pandemic, I don’t know.
At a time like now, people open up real feelings, all the fake tinsel flies off and the past and good memories become valuable. I called my new show “The Fifth Ocean”, in my understanding it is such a place of power, where each of us comes in the most difficult moments and draws energy in order to live and love further.
Of course, the audience will see a high-quality interesting show, but it will not, as before, be associated with supernova technologies, complex choreographic performances, with hundreds of expensive costumes … First of all, it will be associated with the music that brought me up and always saves me. With pop and symphonic music of the 70s, when I began my life; with the disco style of the 80s, when I danced dashingly at discos in the pioneer camp; with freedom rock music of the 90s, which marked the beginning of my musical career; with the 2000s R&B, which awakened the most passionate notes of love in me.
Of course, there will be music by today’s Anita Tsoi. There will be new material, but not much. I want to leave more time and space for the songs that my audience loved so much. But he will hear them in a completely new quality, framed by a symphony orchestra. We have assembled a unique team of the best musicians in the country. 75 people who are already putting their heart and soul into creating new arrangements! And how many more surprises we have prepared for you at the show itself!
Not very lucky with the harvest in the garden this year. The potatoes were born like peas, cucumbers and tomatoes were also not particularly pleasing. But with red hot pepper, on the contrary. He broke all yield records. I had to use everything grown for the production of dressing for the national Korean cabbage kimchi. It turned out to be a huge annual supply. Interruptions in my favorite dish in the near future will definitely not threaten my family. I just buy Chinese cabbage, add the dressing, and fresh aromatic kimchi is always on the table. It is impossible to live without your favorite spicy cabbage!
My fifth ocean is an ocean of dreams and hope, something that Anita Tsoi cannot be imagined without, because I strongly believe in my dreams. And they come true for me! Once, before the premiere of the concert program “10 | 20”, for which I was very worried, I thought that if I met a real whale on my way, then the show would definitely come true. And so we fly to Iceland to shoot a video for the song “Aim at the Heart”, on the only day off we go boating on the sea, and suddenly I see a real whale! Miracles do happen!
Now my dreams are connected not only with me and my close people, but also with those whom I don’t know, with their health and happiness. I want us not to be afraid of anything and life to go on. I hope that soon all restrictions will be lifted, on February 6 we will meet with my fans in the Kremlin Palace, and they will enter the new era of Aquarius together with me!
