The Azerbaijani culture minister has presented Sharaf (Honor) Order to Russian mezzo-soprano Tamara Sinyavskaya, Azernews reports.
On July 5, 2018, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev decreed awarding People's Artist of the USSR and prominent opera singer Tamara Sinyavskaya the Sharaf Order for her long-term and fruitful activities aimed at strengthening the Russian-Azerbaijani cultural ties.
During the awarding ceremony, the culture minister wished her the best of health and success in her future activities.
Tamara Sinyavskaya, spouse of Muslum Magomayev, Azerbaijan's legendary singer, expressed her deep gratitude to the president for his great attention and high appreciation of her activities.
Sinyavskaya is a laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize (1980), People's Artist of the USSR (1982), and People's Artist of Azerbaijan (2002).
The Russian opera singer has performed many solo concerts in the largest concert halls around the world, including the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Russia, and the Royal Concertgebouw in the Netherlands.
The singer's concert repertoire includes opera arias, romances, and the most complex works by Sergei Prokofyev, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
