Such a stir around the name of this wonderful ballerina did not arise by chance, because quite recently she gave birth to a daughter (October 31, 2016), whose father was the world-famous Russian pianist Denis Matsuev. Meanwhile, Ekaterina Shipulina is a ballerina, personal life which for a long time was not advertised, so it is not at all difficult to imagine how this news surprised her fans.
And no wonder, because only recently the public was happy that Ekaterina Shipulina and Denis Matsuev got married after a ten-year relationship, when it turned out that they had become parents. But the real shock of the fans of the creative couple lay ahead, because in the end it turned out that Denis and Katya did not get married at all, but simply celebrated a magnificent engagement and it never came to an official marriage, even after the birth of their long-awaited first child. A little later, in one of the interviews, the pianist reacted quite harshly to another question about the wedding, emphasizing that he was not going to the registry office, since he was very happy in his personal life and without a stamp in his passport. Meanwhile, Matsuev turns 42 this year, while his chosen one Ekaterina will be 38, although, probably, in modern world There are no restrictions for tying oneself with the knot of Hymen and this wonderful couple still has everything to come.
One should not be surprised at the peculiar restraint of Ekaterina Shipulina, whose personal life throughout long period took a long time to develop in the best possible way, and all because the ballerina constantly improved her skills, spending 24 hours a day in training. Of course, all these efforts gave a colossal result, because today Katya is a prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, which is the dream of every dancer, and in 2009, in addition to everything else, she was awarded the title People's Artist Russian Federation. However, in fairness it should be noted that such high bar This wonderful dancer was originally choreographed by her mother, Lyudmila Shipulina, who danced in ballet troupe on the stage of the Perm Theater.
So, in one of candid interviews the girl admitted that her mother had always been her harshest critic, forcing her to set the most incredible goals and go towards them at all costs, overcoming unbearable pain, fatigue and laziness, even with the help of painkillers.
But Ekaterina Shipulina did not become a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater right away, because for several years she had to study ballet at a choreographic school in her native Perm, while simultaneously performing on the stage of her theater, and for another four years at the Moscow School classical dance(class of Lyudmila Sergeevna Litavkina). And only in 1998 she was enrolled in the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater, on the stage of which in the first season she was lucky enough to dance in “Bayadère” and “The Nutcracker”. Next year turned out to be even more generous for Catherine, because she was offered to dance in such magnificent productions as “Giselle”, “The Little Humpbacked Horse”, “Don Quixote”, “Chopiniana”, even if not in the first roles. A real triumph awaited the ballerina in 2002, because it was this year that she had the opportunity to perform the roles of Odile and Odette in the world-famous “Swan Lake” - the dream of every dancer.
With this part and the part in Giselle, Ekaterina begins to tour around the most famous cities world, and in 2003 she had the opportunity to conquer and American viewer during a speech at the Kennedy Center. After that there was Paris, Tokyo, Rome and many other wonderful places, so it’s no wonder that Shipulina simply had neither the energy nor the time left for any personal stories. And only in 2006, at one of the social events, she had the opportunity to meet Denis Matsuev, who accidentally ended up with Katya in the same company of mutual friends. It is noteworthy that the spark between the guys flew immediately, because both were young, beautiful, and most importantly, each talented in their field. In addition, Denis also had a huge experience behind him, having been born in musical family in distant Irkutsk, he, like Katya, was able to conquer the capital.
In 2009, Matsuev was awarded the title of laureate State Prize Russian Federation, and in 2011 they were given a People's Artist, which is a huge achievement for every figure. As for his relationship with the ballerina, it should be noted that this couple is united not only by a love of art, but also by some interesting hobbies.
For example, few people know that Katya Shipulina is seriously interested in ice skating and water skiing, and also madly loves traveling with her lover. In addition, this wonderful couple was spotted more than once at various ski resorts on skis and snowmobiles.
Denis Matsuev is one of the few classical music performers whose popularity can rival some pop stars. At the piano he is a virtuoso and a genius, and at ordinary life- like one of us: he loves to take a steam bath, swim in Lake Baikal, supports the football team Spartak and is not averse to kicking the ball himself.
Matsuev has long been considered an eligible bachelor, openly admitting that he does not consider the stamp in his passport to be anything important.
Becoming
Such talent could only be born in a musical family: Denis’s father is a composer and pianist, his mother taught piano in music school. The family lived in Irkutsk until Denis was 15 years old. Then it became obvious that he would have to leave his home for Moscow - only there could the boy gain access to the best teachers.
The last argument in favor of moving for Denis was his father’s promise that he would be able to watch his beloved Spartak play right at the stadium.
“My parents are amazing musicians... They made unprecedented sacrifices for me: leaving everything behind, they moved to Moscow to live with me in a one-room apartment,” said Matsuev. “Nothing has changed in our family: as it was when I was three years old sitting at the piano and my dad practiced with me, so, in general, it is the same now.”
In Moscow, Denis first entered the school at the Moscow Conservatory, and a year later became a laureate of the International Charitable public fund"New names". This is how the first tour arose in the life of a sixteen-year-old boy - Matsuev visited more than 40 countries with performances and began to imagine what his life would be like in the future.
After graduating from the conservatory, the pianist conquered the next peak - he won the XI International Competition named after. Tchaikovsky. Then he will say: instead of watching the performances of other competitors, he followed the matches of the World Cup - and this helped him win.
Since then, Denis Matsuev regularly gives several hundred concerts a year. Finding time for personal life with such a schedule is difficult - but he succeeded.
Ballerina
Ekaterina Shipulina also moved to Moscow from the provinces and also followed in the footsteps of her parents: the girl’s mother danced ballet in Perm, and her daughter went further and conquered Moscow. After graduating from the Moscow Choreographic School, Shipulina was accepted into the Bolshoi Theater, where she gradually reached the main roles.
Together with Katya, in addition to Music, Dance also entered the life of Denis Matsuev.
“I don’t take marriage with a stamp in my passport seriously. I am satisfied with what is happening in my personal life now, and I don’t think about the stamp. Stamp and love do not always coincide,” Denis said in an interview with the “Snob” project, avoiding answering a question about his personal life.
But the secret still became clear. Increasingly, Ekaterina Shipulina accompanied the musician on his endless travels around the world. Her own tour schedule was no less busy, but the couple tried not to miss every opportunity to be together.
Once, between performances in St. Petersburg, he had a window of one day - Shipulina at that moment was with the Bolshoi troupe in Nottingham, England. In a couple of hours, Matsuev managed to arrange a flight to England, spent the day with his beloved and returned back in the evening.
Family
Fans realized that the couple was thinking about having a child from Catherine’s cautious statements about motherhood. The profession of a ballerina often becomes an obstacle for a woman to give birth to a child. But Shipulina thought differently.
In an interview, she noted that she is not afraid of the difficulties that pregnancy can bring to her career. And she cited her own mother as an example - after the birth of two children, she managed to return to the stage.
In October 2016, Ekaterina Shipulina gave birth to a daughter, Anna. When asked how her birth changed his life, Matsuev sadly jokes that there is a chance for any changes only after 2021.
“Before this, unfortunately, I already had everything planned out. A simple example today: I flew from Tel Aviv, yesterday I had a concert there with Zubin Mehta, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, tomorrow I have a concert in St. Petersburg, at Oktyabrsky, we are playing a jazz program. Now I have time to come to my favorite studio (programs " Evening Urgant"), and there is an hour to see Anna Denisovna,” says the pianist.
Prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater Ekaterina Shipulina told La Personne about the premiere of “Nureyev” and about her creative search.
Let's start with Nureyev. Opinions about the performance were divided: some were delighted, others did not understand at all what the fuss was about. It is interesting to know your opinion, the person who was inside this work.
Many people asked me about my impressions after the premiere, but it’s difficult for me to evaluate. This performance is already like a child for me. All of us, participants in the performance, worked on this ballet from the very first day, sometimes we didn’t even treat it very adequately. Of course, we loved him, by the end we liked everything about him.
I like this performance.

You danced the monologue “Diva”, where you had to tell the story of two divas: Natalia Makarova and Alla Osipenko. How were these roles constructed?
Everything came from Yuri Posokhov, who set such correct choreography to music and text. When staging, he proceeded from letters written by these ballerinas, in particular, from words and even intonations. Of course, this is exactly what played big role. I think it is the choreography that touches the most subtle feelings in the viewer and evokes strong emotions.
In your opinion, why is there no ballet artist of such stature as Nureyev in our time?
I think he was like that special person, self-willed and freedom-loving. Now artists may be afraid of losing their jobs and stability, although nowadays you can go abroad without problems. I don't know the exact answer. He was one of the first such rebels. Nowadays there are also shocking and scandalous artists, but now all this is no longer relevant. Gone are the days when it was interesting. Nowadays artists try to behave with dignity, this is considered professionalism.
When creative person goes to social life– does this interfere or not, what do you think?
For Nureyev it was organic, he didn’t force himself. For many, this image is part of their image. I think if it's fun, why not?..

When I look at your Instagram, it seems that you are very open man. But it is clearly visible that this is the external side of life. Is this a position not to openly reveal your personal life?
Yes. Personal life is personal to remain behind the scenes. When people flaunt their relationships, their family and children, most often it looks unnatural. There is some kind of window dressing in this.

You studied at the Perm School, but then moved to the Moscow Academy of Choreography. What prompted you to take this step, your ambitions?
At that time, no. This was a coincidence of circumstances, since the parents, being the premieres of the Perm Theater, were invited by Bryantsev to the Music. Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. Of course, they agreed, and literally a year later my mother took us to Moscow school. It's great that I had the experience of learning with using different methods. I studied in Moscow for 4 years. It was at the Moscow Academy of Choreography that I felt some leadership qualities in myself; of course, I only wanted to go to the Bolshoi. Where else?
Did you imagine that you would someday become the prima of this theater?
Probably not. I started with the second corps de ballet, went to court, sat on a bench. In general, I went through all the stages.
Is it difficult when you have ballet parents?
On the one hand, yes. They tell you what to do and how to do it 24 hours a day. Over time, you realize that your parents say the right things. In fact, I am very grateful to them for not discouraging my desire for this art.

During the time that you have been dancing in the theater, many managers have changed...
This is true!

What actions do you recommend when changing management?
Yes. This is hard. You seem to have already achieved something, and then another person comes and you prove everything again. Each leader has his own view, his own tastes. An artist may be wonderful, but the manager may not like him.
And what to do in such a situation?
Work!
What else do you have in your life besides ballet?
IN Lately There are fewer opportunities to go somewhere and meet friends, although I try to find time to meet and drama theater. Now the priority is the child. I don’t even want to leave him, to be honest.
I would like to return to our photo shoot in the museum-apartment of Galina Ulanova. We invited you to this photo story for a reason. You are now working with Nadezhda Gracheva, who was Galina Ulanova’s last student. Tell me, does she often share Galina Sergeevna’s comments with you at rehearsals?
She speaks very sincerely about Galina Sergeevna. They had a lot in common; Nadezhda Aleksandrovna began her career in the theater with her and, of course, Galina Ulanova gave her a lot creatively. Well, besides, she is a legend!

As for the comments, I just remembered the remark about “The Swan” by Saint-Saëns. There is no clear system in this performance, there is a outline, and each ballerina has her own hands and poses. And so, Nadezhda Aleksandrovna said that Ulanova appeared in this number without immediately suffering, as most ballerinas do. She had this concept that the swan appears proud, beautiful, and not yet tragic. He doesn't die right away.
And finally, what would you wish your viewers for the New Year?
Of course, good health! Live and enjoy every second! Inspiration and fulfillment of all dreams! And be sure to go to the theater, enjoy, empathize and have fun!

The virtuoso pianist Matsuev is known not only in the Russian Federation, but also far beyond its borders. The musician has proven more than once that he deserved it for a reason big name. Matsuev is known and respected throughout the world. Recently, the topic of what nationality Denis Matsuev is has become increasingly relevant. Does the origin and place of birth of an outstanding cultural figure influence his success? Let's try to figure it out in this article.
Musician's youth
Denis Leonidovich Matsuev was born in Irkutsk in 1975. The boy spent his entire childhood in hometown. The musician still remembers Lake Baikal and its surroundings with nostalgia. Studying music was not easy for Denis. Future star world-class could shine in the field of sports, because Matsuev was madly in love with football. However, the boy gave priority to music.
After graduating from music school, Denis entered School of Music. Here Matsuev studied until 1991. Denis’s parents saw real talent in their child, and therefore advised the young man to continue his studies. The musician moves to Moscow, where he enters the music school at the State Conservatory. Already in the early 90s, Denis became a laureate charitable foundation"New names", which had global recognition. Such a prize allowed Matsuev to give many concerts in a variety of countries. The Pope, the Queen of England, numerous heads of state and other dignitaries highly appreciated the excellent performance of Denis Matsuev. The nationality of the musician was known to many foreign listeners. We can say that Russia has another cultural symbol in the person of an outstanding musician.
Family
Denis's father was a composer and musician. He wrote music for Irkutsk theaters. The activities of the mother of the future celebrity were also related to art. Irina Dmitrievna Matsueva (Gomel) worked as a piano teacher. Surprisingly, even Denis Leonidovich’s grandfather and grandmother were musicians. My paternal grandfather played percussion instruments in the Irkutsk Circus Orchestra. My grandmother taught at a music school. Thus, the pedigree of the hero of our article is no less interesting than the personality of Matsuev himself.
What can you tell us about the nationality of your parents? Denis Matsuev does not hide information about his ancestry from the media. The musician states that he has Siberian and Ossetian roots.
It is not easy to explain the increased media interest in the topic of nationality. Most likely, some Russian mass media simply cannot exist without covering sensitive topics and unique problems. Representatives of every nationality would like to see their fellow countryman in the famous musician, and therefore they are trying so hard to find information about where Denis Matsuev is from.

The famous musician, unlike many colleagues in the field of art, does not hide his origin. “I am a Siberian,” Denis Leonidovich said in an interview with Vladimir Pozner. Moreover, the musician seriously believes that Siberian is a nationality.
Denis Matsuev is an Ossetian, a Pole, an Estonian, a German and even a Jew all rolled into one. He is well acquainted with his pedigree, and therefore has some information about the origin of his ancestors. At the same time, Matsuev does not intend to challenge his attachment to Russia. The artist is truly in love with Siberia. He is sure that in these parts the spirit of a certain rebellion and firmness, founded in the days of the Decembrists, has been preserved. Here we come to the question of whether place of birth has any influence on a person’s talent. Of course, and to a very large extent.

The recording of the album might not have taken place if Alexander Rachmaninov was the grandson of the famous musician. It was he who gave Matsuev archival documents with previously unknown suites and fugues of the classic. Denis Leonidovich received the right to premiere performance. In exchange, the grandson of Sergei Rachmaninov made a friendly promise from the performer to quit smoking. I must say, Matsuev kept his promise.

Matsuev's wife has been working at the Bolshoi Theater for the last ten years. In the fall of 2016, the media learned that married couple expecting a child. “The most important thing for me today,” says Denis Matsuev, “is my wife and children.”
The personal life, nationality and hobbies of the musician’s wife are still little known. The ballerina herself tells a little about herself. She loves to talk much more about her work as a ballet dancer. At the end of 2016, the Matsuev couple had a daughter.

Most likely, the native land inspires the creator to new achievements. Matsuev has been playing masterfully for several decades, and it seems he has no intention of stopping.
Hobbies of a musician
It is worth abstracting from questions about how it builds work activity and complex organizational relationships Denis Matsuev. The nationality, biography, personal life and hobbies of the famous musician are no less interesting for his connoisseurs.
According to Matsuev himself, he is interested in football, bowling and tennis. Denis Leonidovich is a fan of Spartak. He is a fan of jazz compositions, although he prefers classics. A fan of the famous Moscow Sovremennik Theater. If we talk about the musician’s more “mundane” hobbies, then it’s worth mentioning the Russian bathhouse and walks in the forest.

The young people met at the opening of a restaurant with mutual friends. A little later they had to work on the production joint performance based on the project of American director Sergei Danielyan “Reflections”.
According to the script, 5 ballerinas were supposed to perform on stage to the accompaniment of 5 different musicians.
Shipulina had to perform various steps to Tchaikovsky's work, while her beloved speeded up the tempo three times, focusing on the composer's intention, and not on the balletic elongation of the melody.
From Catherine’s stories it is clear that the couple have been together for a long time - they come to the New Year to the pianist’s homeland in Irkutsk to celebrate the holiday on the shores of Lake Baikal and plunge into the icy water of the legendary lake at Epiphany.
Therefore, when journalists noticed the ballerina’s rounded shape in 2016, they began to besiege the lovers with questions. Matsuev and Shipulina took a spectacular pause and delighted their fans with the news of an addition to the family only after the birth of their daughter.
Ekaterina Shipulina and Denis Matsuev
The musician does not comment on his paternity, he only says that he plays various classical works trying to find out if his daughter has a love for music. According to Denis Leonidovich, Anya categorically does not accept Liszt’s melody.

Ekaterina Shipulina studied at the Moscow Choreographic Academy
The girls' mother devoted a lot of time not so much to her own children as to her students, paying attention to Katya and her sister only if they were successful in their studies. Oddly enough, Shipulina is proud of her parents, considering such rigor to be the engine of her progress in the profession.
In 1989, both sisters entered Perm choreographic school, deciding to follow in the footsteps of his parents. After graduation, the family moved to the capital in 1991 at the invitation of Musical theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko.
Famous ballet artists became choreographers and teachers for younger generation artists of this illustrious institution.

Talent and hard work, supported by external data, played their role - the dancer becomes a popular performer of classical dance not only in her homeland, but also abroad.
Usual life
According to Ekaterina, for a long time she was so eager to meet the requirements of her parents, teachers, and stage directors that she behaved in her work like a “pioneer” - even with a high temperature or severe injury, she went on stage.
Modern ballet art is merciless to the bodies of performers - many compositions require the ballerina to fall hard to her knees.
Ekaterina Shipulina and Denis Matsuev on a walk
The habit of enduring pain, drowning it out with pills and various ointments, played its unseemly role - the woman’s limbs have practically no reflexes.
A little later, Ekaterina began to be more careful about her own health, having the opportunity to dictate her own terms to the directors involved in the development of this or that project.
However, in everyday life the girl loves extreme sports; she always has skates, roller boots and a swimsuit in the trunk of her car. She enjoys going down the steep slopes at the ski resort and loves to play tennis and football.
She loves to treat herself to tasty treats and will not refuse a rare steak, despite the strict requirements of the choreographers. Good active image life and the natural constitution of the body allow you to stay in excellent shape without exhausting diets and hours of effort in the gym.

For a young mother, her own parent remains a model - Lyudmila Ivanovna appeared on stage after the birth of two babies and successfully continued dancing for several decades.
Fatherly Responsibilities
The press has long known the world-famous musician’s attitude towards the stamp in his passport.
Denis Matsuev, whose personal life and attention to the presence of his wife and children was exaggerated in open sources information constantly, stubbornly does not want to reveal the secrets of his own relationship to his family.
Denis Matsuev is in no hurry to tell all the details from family life
According to the artist, he has been married so many times that he does not want to comment on such statements. At this point in time, there is no exact information about the official status of Denis Matsuev and Ekaterina Shipulina.
Evil tongues claim that the first parties in Bolshoi Theater the ballerina has only thanks to her famous lover.
It is difficult to say otherwise, but recognizing a child as his daughter was a kind of feat for the musician - Matsuev was an ardent supporter of open marriages for many years.
His assertion that only music could be his wife, and jazz could be his mistress, for a long time created an aura of pompousness for the musician.
