A project that combines concert programs Pelageya and the young Ukrainian performer Katya Chili, was called PRODIGIES, and was a worthy success among the sophisticated Edinburgh audience. Pelageya, together with the musicians who came with her to Scotland (Mikhail Sokolov - percussion, Vladimir Lukashenya - keys, Max Leonov - guitar), gave 18 concerts. The result of this trip was not only numerous filming and interviews on the BBC, the broadcast of her performance on a huge television screen in London's central park, an offer from the Deputy Mayor of Edinburgh for Culture to record an album in Scotland, but also an acquaintance with the manager of the legendary Italian tenor Jose Carreras, who made an official proposal Pelageya to participate in the world premiere opera star, which will take place in England in 2000. Now the artist is on the threshold of a new stage in her work - in parallel with the formation of a fundamentally new repertoire and a different performing style and stage image, there is a competitive selection of musicians for the group under the working name “Pelageya”. This project will form the basis of the second album, where only live music and authentic singing. Work on the third, on the contrary, electronic album, has already begun.
