Bass Instincts : Ildar Abdrazakov
Bass Ildar Abdrazakov grew up in Russia behind the Iron Curtain. In his youth, he wanted to be a truck driver so that he could travel from his remote village of Ufa and see the entire USSR. When the wall came down in his teens, this desire was suddenly overshadowed by a world of previously impossible careers—not to mention the actual world, now open for discovery. Now in the midst of an international opera career, Abdrazakov is traveling the globe, singing roles from Japan to Salzburg to the U.S.
