Puget Sound Concert Opera

MISHA MYZNIKOV - A PSCO favorite returns!
We’re thrilled to welcome baritone Misha Myznikov back to the Puget Sound Concert Opera stage as Aleko on June 19 & 21. Misha’s rich, burnished sound and magnetic stage presence have made him an audience favorite in roles ranging from Ford (Falstaff) to Don Giovanni, Gellner (La Wally), and Alfio (Cavalleria Rusticana).
To get a taste of his artistry, enjoy this Tacoma Opera Intermezzo recital featuring Misha in a gorgeous set of romantic Russian works.
Misha’s career spans leading roles with Seattle Opera, Tacoma Opera, Bellevue Opera, and companies across the region—including Marcello, Escamillo, Emile de Becque, Figaro, Eugene Onegin, and more. We’re honored to have him bring Rachmaninoff’s passionate Aleko to life with PSCO.
Join us for this powerful performance.

Stravinsky always thought fondly of his creation Mavra saying once that "Mavra seems to me the best thing I've done." It has a unique melodic and harmonic language that perfectly suits its quirky story. Parasha's song (No. 1) has been arranged for cello and piano, and recorded with Mstislav Rostropovich under the title "Russian Song".

"My dear friend, my red sun
My bright falcon, my gray-winged eagle.
Exactly seven days since sorrow found me.
So I wandered through dark forests.
In the dark forest, the canaries sing,
Girls bring sadness to my parting.
Do not sing, little canary in the garden,
Do not sing, my dear one in the garden,
Do not bring longing to my heart."
