Dmitri Hvorostovsky is one of the most famous singers in the world. He often takes part in performances in different countries and always becomes the centre of attraction. Some fans call him the «Elvis of opera». When Hvorostovsky heard about this, he thought it was a huge compliment since to him, Elvis was a kind of revolutionary. Hvorostovsky was born in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia — there he studied at school, and for some time was the singer in a rock band where he played heavy metal. After Hvorostovsky had won several professional contests in Russia, Irina Arkhipova encouraged him to take part in the Cardiff Singer of the World competition in 1989. He won it and his world career was launched. His manner of singing is very lyrical and it is sometimes called «old school». He works with theatres and singers all around the world. Some years ago he recorded an album with Olga Borodina. Now Hvorostovsky has a house in London and speaks good English. He works a lot and tries to have a healthy way of life. He confessed that he had given up smoking and had stopped drinking alcohol many years ago. He knew this would help him perform his best in his profession.
