The story
Hvorostovsky Festival in Krasnoyarsk
The Hvorostovsky Festival is understood to be a Krasnoyarsk classical-music event honoring baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, a Krasnoyarsk native who became one of the most acclaimed opera singers of his generation before his death in 2017. Confirmation of the festival's exact current format, founding year and organizer could not be completed this session.
Dmitri Hvorostovsky grew up in Krasnoyarsk, a Siberian industrial city not typically associated with producing world-class opera singers, and trained locally before his career took off internationally following competition wins in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
