Nadezhda Obukhova

Nadezhda Andreyevna Obukhova was a Russian mezzo-soprano. She was awarded the title People’s Artist of the USSR in 1937. Pianist Heinrich Neuhaus said that "he who even once hears her voice, will never forget it...".

Obukhova came from an artistic family. Two of her uncles were professional singers, one of whom was the opera director of the Bolshoi Theatre. Her grandfather Andrian Mazaraki [Wikidata] was a noted pianist, and her great-grandfather Yevgeny Baratynsky was a poet of Pushkin circle.[3]

Her family had some wealth, and would often spend summers in Nice, France, where Obukhova received her first singing lessons from Eleanora Lipman. In 1907, she was enrolled at the Moscow Conservatory, where she was instructed by Umberto Masetti.
