When the Moscow drama theatre led by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan I wanted to do a musical performance of “Joan of Arc — White crow” about Joan of Arc, was looking for an actress for the role of vocal coach. The search was conducted by word of mouth, asked friends, acquaintances.

“When several people called the name of the singer Irina Shvedova, Armen Borisovich first said, “Call me!” — the Director of the theatre Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya. — The experiment was successful. Irina already took the staff, I hope that she will be performing on our stage as an actress.”

It is curious that the singer a few years ago, lived in the house opposite his new place of work. “We had literally to cross Lomonosovskiy prospect, but I never found time to visit the theater. Now making up for lost time,” said Shvedova. At the stage of the theatre of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Irina celebrated recently the 30th anniversary of creative activity, and her new employer with his young wife, too, called for this benefit.
