Victor Mityushkin

Odesa has been Victor Mityushkin's professional base since 1990, the year he joined the National Opera there; between 2003 and 2005 he sang at the Bolshoi. Verdi runs through his repertoire — Rigoletto, Macbeth, Nabucco, Renato, Di Luna, Amonasro and Ford — with Scarpia, Alfio and Sharpless beside them, and he has appeared as a guest in Salzburg, Paris, Geneva, Munich, Bonn, Berlin, Zurich and across Italy and Spain. Third prizes at the Dvořák competition in Karlovy Vary, at the Glinka in 1989 and at the Verviers international voice competition in 1990 came first. He is a People's Artist of Ukraine and has taught solo singing as associate professor at the Nezhdanova Academy in Odesa.
