“Oblivion (J’Oublie) from 1982, composed for the Italian film, Enrico IV, contains an unforgettable memory. Soprano Yelena Dudochkin’s voice embodied, even haunted the piece, supplemented by Labro’s bandoneon and the Baloudet string quartet, with Oleg Oseonkov on bass and Maxim Lubarsky, piano.”

When opera legend Plácido Domingo, global sensation Dimash Qudaibergen, and crossover cellist HAUSER shared a stage for the first time ever, soprano Yelena Dudochkin was among the featured guest artists. At Budapest’s MVM Dome, before a sold-out crowd of 14,000, she performed a solo rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and joined Domingo for a duet from Lehár’s The Merry Widow, before the evening closed with a multi-artist finale of “Besame Mucho.” The appearance is part of a growing series of collaborations with Domingo across major European venues, marking another milestone in Dudochkin’s expanding international career.
“Dudochkin’s delivery was elegantly legato and even throughout her range, infusing the central section’s Portuguese text with yearning.” -Geoffrey Wieting
