Ballerina Anna Tikhomirova: biography and personal life

Anna Tikhomirova became one of the brightest stars of the Bolshoi Theater, complementing a pleiad of great Russian ballerinas. Her plastic, grace and wondrous beauty have won the love of the theatrical public. And incredible hard work and vitality helped to climb the heights of the ballet Olympus.

Creative family

Anna Tikhomirova, whose biography is closely associated with the ballet, was born in Moscow. Her grandmother, Lyudmila Tikhomirova - honored coach of the USSR, successfully worked with gymnasts. Father Nikolai Tikhomirov is an artist of the ballet, was the premier of the Lithuanian Theater. Mother Irina Khramtseva is a singer performing folk songs. Not surprisingly, in such a creative family the star of Anna was born.

Way to the ballet

When Anya was still absolutely crumb, her parents lived in England and gave the 3-year-old baby to figure skating. But the girl stubbornly did not want to slide on the ice and when she was skating she always got up on her toes, for which she received the nickname "ballerinka".

Parents decided not to resist fate and gave the girl to the ballet school. Tikhomirova comprehended the basics of ballet in England. For the first time on stage as a ballerina, she left at the age of six at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses in the play The Nutcracker. Tearing off the standing ovation, Anna Tikhomirova realized: the ballet is her destiny.

Returning to Russia, she continued her studies at the State Academy of Choreography with teacher Natalia Arkhipova. Incredible diligence and perseverance helped Ana overcome all the difficulties of the educational period. The teacher, seeing in her student's talent, prepared her for the contest, which coincided with the final exams. It was an extremely difficult period in the life of a ballerina, she literally fell from exhaustion and very much lost weight. But she passed the exams brilliantly, received a red diploma, and won the contest. Thanks to this victory, she was noticed and accepted into the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater. Anne's childhood dream came true.

In 2005, right after receiving the diploma Anna Tikhomirova was admitted to the Bolshoi Theater. Here Marina Kondratieva became her teacher , and later her place was taken by Nadezhda Gracheva, an outstanding ballerina. Five long years Tikhomirova danced in the corps de ballet, believing in her lucky star, continuing to train hard and improve her technique. And her finest hour has come! Now she is the leading actress of the Bolshoi Theater, performing the roles in the most famous productions.

Repertoire

In the extensive repertoire of Anna Tikhomirova many famous roles. She danced in "Swan Lake", performing the dance of three swans, and then the party of the Neapolitan princess. She danced Effie's part in Sylphide, and also played Giselle's girlfriend in the same ballet and Columbine in the legendary Nutcracker. Known to the public of her party in the "Golden Age", "Chopiniana", "In the room at the top", "Game in Cards", "Class-concert". And what about her dance with fans in the production of "Corsair", or Autumn in "Cinderella". Without her participation, such performances as Onegin, The Flame of Paris, Don Quixote were not spared. By the way, it was Kitri's party from "Don Quixote" that she dreamed of singing from an early age. And this is not all the list of her famous roles on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater.

Personal life

Despite the constant rehearsals and performances in which Anna Tikhomirova is involved, her personal life has developed very well. She recently married her partner in the theater of Artem Ovcharenko. In addition to being the premiere of the Bolshoi Theater, his talent extends to other areas of activity. For example, not so long ago Artem released his own collection of clothes for men.

Acquaintance with the future husband

Artem and Anna met in the choreography school at the Bolshoi Theater, where Artem entered, coming from Dnepropetrovsk. Tikhomirova by that time was on the third year, and Ovcharenko - a talented freshman. The dancing partner with whom Anna danced for several years left and urgently needed a replacement. Choreographers put in a pair of Artem. Warm relations between young people were established immediately and soon they began to live together with Anna's parents. Joint work did not hinder the development of relations. On the contrary, young people recognized each other from different sides and learned to overcome difficulties. Together they lived for 8 years, and Artem made Anna an official proposal, which she gladly accepted.

Romantic wedding

08/08/2016 Married Artem Ovcharenko and Anna Tikhomirova. The wedding was luxurious and memorable. The newlyweds considered that after 8 years of marriage, the marriage bonds should be sealed in the eighth month, and that in the date there must be an eight in the date. In addition, the figure 8 represents the sign of infinity, and the young hope that their love will be just as infinite.

The wedding was played on a grand scale. This was a well-organized action, the main characters of which were young. The groom swam to the bride standing on the bank of the river, on a flower-strewn boat. The invited guests watched the action from the veranda of the restaurant where the celebration was held. The beauty and sensuality of the action did not leave anyone indifferent.

There was a triumph without dancing young. It was an enchanting show that combined elements of classical ballet, tango and break dance. In all these directions, Artem Ovcharenko and Anna Tikhomirova showed themselves magnificently. Photos of this speech flew over the Internet with incredible speed.

Greetings from the guests who make up the beau monde of Russian society were also full of creative surprises. So, Anna's mother performed a song dedicated to her daughters, the bride's father impressed the guests with dancing with his daughter, and the godmother of the bride sang in French.

When the night fell on the ground and the sky was covered with stars, the young guests presented another dance of love, performed on the water among the flames. Artem Ovcharenko and Anna Tikhomirova, whose wedding became a cultural event, were in the center of attention, generously giving guests their talent and happiness.

The Big Ballet

A wide range of viewers, Anna and Artem became famous for the unique television project, which has no analogues anywhere in the world, "The Big Ballet". In 2012, they successfully participated in this project. Each of their performances was memorable, bright, worked to trifles. For them, the whole country was worried and voting. They proved that ballet is not obsolete, that this direction of art is young and dynamic. Modern choreography, bright images and harmonious costumes make it possible to convey to the viewer the beauty of the dance. This was done by Artem and Anna, speaking in the project "Grand Ballet".

The project became for young people also a chance to better understand each other and work in pairs that they fell out so rarely on the big stage. They did not miss their chance, having won the Grand Prix of the competition, becoming the best ballet couple. But in fact other outstanding masters of the ballet participated in the competition. Artem and Anna managed to become the best among equals.

Life on stage

Despite the fact that Tikhomirova and Ovcharenko have been serving in the theater for many years, joint parties rarely fall out to them. Each of them goes its own creative way. But their joint performances become a gift for the audience. Perhaps, after the couple has officially formalized their relationship, choreographers will often put them in a couple of performances. And the joint participation in the TV project "The Big Ballet", where the couple performed with triumph, may open new horizons for joint creativity.

Future plans

Anna Tikhomirova dreams of a big family, but she does not plan to leave the ballet either. Everything has its time. She believes that the love of art should not be an obstacle to the woman's path to happiness and motherhood. And she plans to get a higher education. But these are still plans for a distant future. Now in her life there is ballet, ballet, ballet. And the young spouse, who completely shares her vital views.

Anna's parents also support her in all life undertakings, but look forward to her grandchildren.

The dancer from God

Talented people are many in any field, but only a few are making their way to the top. Anna Tikhomirova - the ballerina is outstanding, and this is indisputable. She was able to reach the peaks thanks to her work and irrepressible energy. Nadezhda Gracheva, a teacher of Anna, jokingly calls her "a mad mosquito." The sculpted figure, charming face, artistry and plasticity of Anna conquered the audience, and the teachers say that she was born for classical ballet dances. Directors nominate Tikhomirov for leading roles in classical productions.

I would like to hope that such a bright star will brighten up not for the ballet horizon for a long time, presenting admirers of talent with new performances and participation in other projects.
